XLS without rows?

I have an XLS structured as:

DIMENSIONS at 1295496
ROW at 1295516
LABELSST at 1295530
...
LABELSST at 1295530
LABELSST at 2745118
WINDOW2 at 2745140
EOF at 2745144
1637 at 2745173

It means no Indexand starting with Dimensions(and it is not a problem) but without rows, only shared strings. Has anyone idea how to load such a file? The Library handles only the first row, even if Excel shows thousands of rows 😃 That’s because moveToNextRecordNoIndexhalts founding EOF at 2745144.

To bypass the error you need to change readWorkSheetGlobalsas follows:

            XlsBiffRecord trec = rec; // <<< init to previously read record
            XlsBiffDimensions dims = null;

            do
            {
                if (trec.ID == BIFFRECORDTYPE.DIMENSIONS)
                {
                    dims = (XlsBiffDimensions)trec;
                    break;
                }
                trec = m_stream.Read(); // <<< first check, then read next record

            } while (trec != null && trec.ID != BIFFRECORDTYPE.ROW);

I’m wonder how read this binary Excel file… For privacy reason I’m going to modify binary data and I’ll upload a test case ASAP.

Thanks for helping me.

Ok, a bit difficult without a sample to test with. 😃

I’ve made a small attempt at implementing support for Excel files without ROW records. In your case, is it that there are no ROW records or only one when there are in fact more than one rows?
