Summary of the issue you are facing:
We are using Collabora online to work on excel sheets it in a team. But it seems to be that after changes in the Excel sheet on Nextcloud platform the file has been destroyed.
Open the Excel file with Collabora Office 23.05 works without any problems (errors).
I’ve now examined the Sheet.4.XML file of both file versions and only found differences in the font size display.
Excel uses floating-point values, whereas Collabora uses integer values. This seems to be triggering the error message.
I can’t explain why this only occurs sporadically.
Questions:
- Is this a known problem and rated as a bug?
- Would it fix the problem in upgrading the Collabora Online version to the latest version?
As I could configured out, we are one major version behind the latest version.
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
- Upload a pure excel file without any macros onto the Nextcloud server.
- Change the content (data and add new columns) in this file with Collabora online.
- Download the file onto a windows system.
- MS Excel now reports the file has been corrupted and must be repaired - see attached screenshots.
Log entries

Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response
- Use the
preformatted text
formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output. - If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
- If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
- Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.
