I encountered some XLS files that fail to be parsed by a number of tools (xlrd
, pandas
, openpyxl
, calamine
).
The files appear to be in XML format with the following properties:
Workbook
Worksheet
Table
Row
Cell
Data
Styles
Style
NumberFormat
Font
Alignment
It is unclear what makes the files unreadable by XLS and XLSX parsers.
This project reads XLS consisting only of the above properties (XML formatted document) and emits a best-effort TSV.
$ cp /path/to/file.xls input.xls
$ cargo run > out.tsv
$ less -S out.tsv
How?
It's just a serde specification, using serde-xml-rs
.
Expect to modify the code if your source document contains anything other than the properties defined above.
