Hi
I have an xlsx datafile comprising 10 rivers labelled 1..10, 24
observations dated 2000-2023 plus 5 variables (See attached
screenshot). I have use File open command specifying it is an xlsx
file which it reads and then produces an error message.
F*ound 1 valid sheet*
*Found 11 Variables and 240 observations!!!*
*Name missing for variable 7 !!!*
I am using Gretll version 2025c
Strange thing (all on Debian):
1. clipboard method (copy+paste): works perfectly,
2. xlsx importing: got same error as Brian,
3. converted to ods: works, thought some fake variables were imported
(see attached file).
