[Gretl-users] Re: fRUSTRATION TRYING TO LOAD AN XLSX DATASET
Thanks for letting me know that. Explains why Gretl in turn was confusing
me. Might saving it as a CSV file have been less problematic to 2025c.
Though as I said, uploads of xlsx files to earlier versions of Gretl have
always been straightforward.

The named variables are all Numeric. I have never saved it as an xml file
type. perhaps conversion (if that is what you did) introduced the error as
my original version only occupied columns A to F.
Just FYI, jack did not convert your file. An xslx file is in fact a
ZIP archive containing several XML files. And this one contains
invisible junk outside the range of the visible data, which is
confusing gretl.
