Testing with editing (with LibreOffice - file probably originates with ancient Excel) different files trying to isolate the problem to specific rows has been very inconsistent. Sometimes I copy and paste into new sheets/tabs and get a working result sometimes I don't with no apparent explanation. Also attached are my OGR commands. There are some formulas which based on the documentation, I expect to maybe not work based reading the driver page. From other experience (OSGeo4W), I would expect formulas to return null for that field, not to have the entire layer fail to read. I worked around my file by converting to .xlsx which is working fine with the xlsx driver. Contact me if you need additional similar files that work differently." defect closed normal default svn-trunk normal invalid xls, formula, freeXL, Bas Couwenberg a.furieri@…
