I know I CAN do that but we are trying to produce nicely formatted results that we can send to customer in excel

Have you also tried this on a PC (vs Mac)?

I tend to see more excel issues on mac, fwiw

I spent a while thinking it was something I was doing wrong in my SuiteScript, only to realise I get the exact same error when working with a saved search result download

OK does seem to be Mac issue.   Superb.  :neutral_face:

How are you generating the Excel file in SuiteScript? I've had decent success with Sheet.js in a recent project (haven't tried on a mac though)

```var statement_file = file.create({
					    name: filename + '.xls',
					    fileType: file.Type.EXCEL,
					    contents: xml
					});```

`context.response.writeFile({file: statement_file});`

crazy idea, append with .xlsx instead of .xls

I'm guessing there is some kind of conflict between the file extension and the meta-xml you have in there
