By importing a document (a HTML file named as .XLS or .HTML) with lots (more
than 15000) of rows, OpenOffice Calc truncates data without showing any error
or warning.

The issue can be reproduced by importing attached file into calc. On my machine
it imports just 13635 of the 20000 rows.

The effect is reproducible with reporter's sample document and
"LibreOffice 3.3.2  – WIN7  Home Premium  (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19
(Build:202 / tag 3.3.2.2)]"

I saw a lot of documents with name extension .xls having nothing to do
with an EXCEL spreadsheet, the user or his application only used that
name because of "somehow table contents".

To be honest, I do not know much about EXCEL HTML document, except that
it is a mess to work with them. Imho that's an EXCEL problem, EXCEL
should create documents with correct syntax.

Reporter's sample is no correct html, although source text is pretending to be 
html. At least html type information is missing.
I'ts also not an EXCEL type spreadsheet.

MS EXCEL viewer will not open that document.

Some other observations:
OOo3.1.1. (from open WRITER document) will by default open the document as 
WRITER-HTML document in writer with correct table view until "A12800", then 
table view stops and strings from table will be shown as endless plain text 
line.
I can force OOo to open the document as html-calc, then it will open the 
document as spreadsheet, "E13105" is the latest content shown correctly, then 
table formatting breaks.

Exactly the same with OOo-dev 3.4

My result:
My aversion against such documents has nothing to do with the reported problem, 
LibO should reject the document or open it correctly (may be with a warning 
message). Low priority, imprtant data should be exported to a document with 
correct syntax, that's a problem of the application creating such documents.

@Marco:
You get such documents from what application?

 Bug 111579 -  Opening large html excel document from SAS

Opening that document with LibO CALC (from WIN Explorer) the last correctly 
shown cell 'F6712' will have contents "PXXX09.001.AAAA.BBBB 1728". Next cell 
will be broken, no further contents will be shown, Table ends with date

Renaming document to .html and opening with Seamonky shows: there is

Yes I agree, it seems to be same issue.

The .XLS extension is used for users convenience - as those extensions are
associated with LibreOffice or MS Excel by default.

Trying with MS Excel 2010, it imports that example file without a problem. It
just showed a warning that it's not an Excel file.

Such files are generated by applications which cannot create native .XLS (or
.XLSX). The example file is one I was creating manually to demonstrate the
issue.


However, the main issue I see here is that LibreOffice cannot import huge HTML
tables. It should either import the whole data or show warning message.

I can confirm this bug too in libreoffice 3.4.2. Happens for me on
slightly less huge tables with around 3000 rows. The interesting thing
is, that borders of the table are rendered to the last row, but data are
truncated randomly in each file somewhere in the middle.
