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.

    Damn, a 1.5GB Excel file!? That sounds like a nightmare to work with. And here I thought a 200MB Excel file acting as a store’s entire yearly accounting ledger (where I used to work) was bad!

    At this point, you need a proper database and some reporting scripts / software. If that one file somehow gets corrupted, it’s all over.
