Hi Jack
it was a genuine Excel xlsx file worksheet, so should pose no problems 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.
