Excuse me, I have some problems using .xls files on LibreOffice Calc. I tried opening the file and it worked but when I tried to save my work, it crashed. Is there any way to make it work?

It worked on Microsoft Excel on Windows 11. The file crashed the computer, but it worked passed 5 minutes and I could save my work.

      Call him special for even entertaining a 1.5GB XLS file as a real option for anything.

      That’s totally nuts. Normalize the data and use Access if you have absolutely no other options - or use SQL Server Express if you want to be cheap about it and stay in the MSFT ecosystem.

      Microsoft never really meant for XLS files to get that big. Can’t you use a “saner” approach, like CSV?
