Common problems and fixes
The grid shows numbers where dates should be.
Turn on “Format dates” in the toolbar — some workbooks store dates without a display format, so the raw serial is all that exists in the file.
The tab freezes on a very large file.
Enable streaming mode before opening, which parses sheet by sheet instead of loading the whole workbook into memory at once.
