Not able to read a XLSB file. Error: Unexpected record 18

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to read this XLSB file attached. I’ll add the error and the code base to reproduce locally.

You generated the correct type of file this time 😃 Curiously it always generates the traditional BrtCellError cells. So it looks like the cases we need to cover for now are strings (18), doubles (16) and booleans (15)

You exported the string =#NUM! and =#VALUE!, but that’s ok we can hand-craft some samples with error values.
