Hi :)
Prolly best to avoid one direction surely?  Anyway didn't they split up and
go different ways?
Regards from
Tom :)

Thank you.  I may end up doing that, but I'm trying to avoid it. I picked
one direction (before I knew about unoconv) and I want to see it through to
the end.  It's supposed to work.  I may be forced to revisit this solution
if all else fails.

Have you looked at the 'unoconv' command? Specifically designed for
conversion of office documents from one format to another.

(I've come to the thread late, so apologies if this has already been
suggested.)

Regards,

Thank you for responding.  Yes it opens without issue.

Yet another look at the conversion details made me notice I needed
changes.  Below are two incarnations.  For one thing I had left out
column formatting, which I guess is required?  No difference in any
event.

apb@yellow:/usr/local/src/greetonix/src$
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin
-env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/libreoffice-1 --headless --
nolockcheck
--convert-to txt:Text \(encoded\):UTF8 --infilter=MS Excel

Also tried:

apb@yellow:/usr/local/src/greetonix/src$
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin
-env:UserInstallation=file:///tmp/libreoffice_1 --infilter='MS Excel
97:44,34,76,1,1/2/2/2,1033,true,false' --headless --nolockcheck
--convert-to 'csv:Text - txt - csv (StarCalc):44,34,76,1'
KGI_Discontinued.xlsx
*Error: source file could not be loaded*

apb@yellow:/usr/local/src/greetonix/src$ ll KGI_Discontinued.xlsx
-rw-rw-r-- 2 apb apb 88334 Aug 18 16:00 KGI_Discontinued.xlsx


Which is an improvement, but not the solution.  All I really did was
rearrange the order of the parameters, change a hyphen to an
underscore
in the tmp file path and change double quotes to single quotes.  I
think
I recall reading somewhere that order matters so that's what likely
eliminated the "verify input parameters" message.  You may also
notice I
changed output from utf8 to csv. I need *both* utf8 & csv.

Maybe I need yet another rearrangement to eliminate the file load
error?

Thank you!

I've tried various incarnations of the below this is just the
latest.
Any ideas what's wrong here?  The input file clearly
exists.  ubuntu

Thank you in advance!

What happens if you just open the file in LibreOffice?
