#199150 — Microsoft Does It Again

SubjectMicrosoft Does It Again
Message-ID<wpgBP-49k-1@gated-at.bofh.it>
I'm not trying to start a flame war or bash Microsoft (let's fact it, 
they don't pay attention), but I have a problem with an Excel file.

For reasons unbeknownst to me, somehow it got saved as an Excel OOXML 
file.  I find that i don't have a Linux app that seems to able to open 
the file.  Contacting Microsoft Customer Service resulted in 
instructions to upgrade Excel to the current version.  THere is no way 
that I will spend the money to implement that suggestion.

Is there a Linux application that will allow me to recover the contents 
of the file?

A quick Google search for 'convert ooxml to tsv' yields several results;
this one looks interesting:

https://gist.github.com/3290599

Assuming it works, you should then be able to import the TSV file into
Libre Office Calc.

That's to be expected. M$ are relative newbies then it comes to vendor
lock-in, but they mastered this trick slowly last 30 years or so.

Try xlsx2csv. It's a nasty python script, but it beats unpacking ooxml
(hint - it's a zip archive in disguise) and trying to decypher
underlying XML parody.

Bah. Microsoft at its best. "Trust us", says Nadella.

As others have said, LibreOffice should do. I don't know about xlsx2csv,
but an apt search on my box yields

  tomas@trotzki:~$ apt search ooxml
  Sorting... Done
  Full Text Search... Done
  docx2txt/stable,stable,stable 1.4-0.1 all
    Convert Microsoft OOXML files to plain text
  
  libapache-poi-java/stable,stable,stable 3.10.1-3 all
    Apache POI - Java API for Microsoft Documents
  
  libapache-poi-java-doc/stable,stable,stable 3.10.1-3 all
    Apache POI - Java API for Microsoft Documents (Documentation)
  
  libexcel-writer-xlsx-perl/stable,stable,stable 0.95-1 all
    module to create Excel spreadsheets in xlsx format
  
  unoconv/stable,stable,stable 0.7-1.1 all
    converter between LibreOffice document formats

Unoconv is the machinery behind LibreOffice import; there's docx2txt,
which I don't know personally, and Perl's libexcel-writer-xlsx-perl,
which I have used to good effect (some assembly required, but if you
want to build it into some automatic workflow it might be your cup
of tea). No idea about the java thingies.

Lots of choice :-)

Sadly, I was mistaken.  I opened the wrong file.  LibreOffice wouldn't 
open the corrupted file.

It's the *best*. Small, relatively lightweight, and does the job in
milliseconds. The output is limited to CSV though.

Not relevant. Input is xlsx.

Suggesting using Java to parse XML in ZIP archive can be considered
cruel and unusual punishment in certain countries. Besides, these are
library and a documentation. Implementation of working parser is left as
an exercise to a reader.

That one's good, with one *litte* problem.
Making the thing output any sensible result is *very* painful.

Don't. Just don't. unoconv is an ugly python script that launches
headless Libreoffice and feeds the file to a resulting web-service.
It has all the disadvantages of Libreoffice (CPU/Memory consumption,
abysmal parsing speed, Libreoffice format limitations), and a single
gain - an ability to batch-convert files.

If Libreoffice is unable to open it - unoconv will do one absolutely no
good.

Also, 'apt search xlsx'.

Well, xlsx *is* OOXML (I like to call it "MOOXML" as in
"Microsoft's..." -- you get the idea :)

That's like saying that apples and oranges are both fruits. 
I.e. that's truth, but one does not compare apples to oranges usually.

Both docx and xlsx are zip archives with xml inside. Their parsing is
different, and applying parsing rules from one to another yields no
useful result.

Parsing docx is easy, even I can do it (and did it, actually).
Parsing xlsx with all its gross formulas (sp?), macros and arcane date
formats is the definition of pain. I gave it up and became a happy
xlsx2csv user.

If you can not open this with LibreOffice Calc, you may give it a shot with that Google spreadsheet thing. This is https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/, works quite well for me. Even if you probably loose some of that Excel magic in a spreadsheet.

and gnumeric may also be worth trying as it has worked quite well for me
in the past for xlsx files.
