It seems to me there is a problem.  I would guess there's either a bug in LibreOffice or M$ has done something to Excel that makes its spreadsheets not display correctly in LibreOffice.

Does Excel work under Wine?  If so, that might be a solution.

Baaaad idea...
The man uses Excel *HEAVILY*, and LibreOffice just could not keep up.
But it was not lack of features or limitations, it was *STUPID* (but dangerous) things like cells not showing the real value and/or recalculating wrong.
I didn't take his word for it, he showed me the (unbelievable) problems (I could not believe what I was seeing).
The guy is back to Excel...
What am I missing?
