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. 

Found 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).
