Corrupting Spreadsheets?

Support
1

Hi,

Turns out we’ve got an excel spread sheet (.xlsx) that has been corrupted, entirely. When I open it using Notepad++ it’s just full of NUL bytes. Compare that to a working spread sheet that begins:

PK ! iHëëä â [Content_Types].xml

You can open a normal spread sheet with an archive viewer such as 7-zip, the corrupted one you cannot.

What environment variables can I set to help? Or what logs can I provide to narrow down the issue?

Not sure if any flags would help. I’d check if there were any errors on the nodes, and perhaps try and reproduce it. The only thing which comes to my mind is some sort of failed write (or failed read resulting an array of nil bytes).
