Hi all,

something weird is happening to my Excel files. I receive some Excel files with Financial information from some countries and I need to repair these files, because they are not working well (there are many references to another files and this kind of stuff).

What I do is the following:

1) I receive the file and I save it.
2) I Open the file with the following steps: Open and repair/Extract data.

When I do this, some texts of the Excel file just desapear (they are erased) and I don´t know why this is happening.

I did a try introducing the following text in a new Excel file, I saved it and I tried to open it with repair and Extract data. What happen to me was the following:


1) DETERIORO ACTIVO FIJO en (-)

If the text is part black and part red and part in italics, the text is erased.

2) DETERIORO ACTIVO FIJO en (-)

However, if the text is all black and there are no italics, the text it is not erased.

This is my conclusion, but I ask for your help because for me it has no sense at all.

Anyone had the same issue?

Thanks in advance!
