Hi :)
Yes, they got got it accepted as an ISO standard but then never seem quite able to implement the 
standard as written-up.  Each new version of MSO gets it a little bit wrong in some new way, which 
doesn't get documented so people have to reverse engineer MS's implementation before figuring out 
how to conform with their implementation.  
Regards from 
Tom :)

Tom, that's not an option in this case.  The file has to be uploaded 
(via a third party) and will reject an ods file before even looking at it.

Odd about the xlsx formats changing, since through its shenanigans (I'm 
being generously polite with that term) a few years ago Microsoft got it 
accepted as an international standard.

Send them an Ods, the native format for OpenOffice, LibreOffice and 
many others.

Perhaps also send them a Csv.

Always avoid the formats that have the extra X at the end as they keep 
changing with every new release of MS Office such that one version 
sometimes messes up the documents created in another version.

     I have a similar problem when saving a spreadsheet as .xls or
     .xlsx --
     the format is not always recognized at the other end. When I have a
     chance to work with the IRS (to whom I'm trying to upload the
     spreadsheet, to report education) and figure out exactly where the
     failure occurs I'll pass the word along here.  Their software has
     some
     problem with the .xls version, and won't even recognize the .xlsx
     as a
     spreadsheet.
