User on Intercom:

"The excel spreadsheets are empty when viewed in apple's numbers, and excel says the document is corrupted."

It's Windows Excel. Dataset: ey0brky

I cannot reproduce since I don't have access to excel.

I could open it up in Mac Excel no problem, and I don't have the native version of Numbers but I can confirm that in the web version there is no text. I suspect it's a problem similar to Gnumeric where inline strings aren't supported. We'll have to confirm it not working in Windows Excel.

@sean-duffy Ask @IanHopkinson to test it for you!

@StevenMaude could you ask him which version of Excel he's using?

@sean-duffy Done!
