Why test with this file
For testing imports that must choose a sheet, read several sheets, or follow formulas that refer to another sheet. Many importers silently read only the first one.
| Sheets | 3 (Orders, Customers, Summary) |
|---|---|
| Orders sheet | 40 data rows, 9 columns, one formula per row |
| Customers sheet | 15 data rows, 7 columns, including a boolean column |
| Summary sheet | 5 formulas that refer to the other sheets (COUNTA, SUM and a division) |
| Cached formula results | Stored |
| Frozen panes | Header row on every sheet |
| Macros | None |
What to check
After your application has processed sample-xlsx-multiple-sheets.xlsx, confirm that:
- All three sheet names are listed, in the order Orders, Customers, Summary.
- Summary!B2 evaluates to 40 and Summary!B6 to 15, whether formulas are recalculated or cached values are read.
- Choosing the second sheet imports customers, not orders, and the active column arrives as true and false.

Where it fits
- File parser testing
Well-formed files and deliberate edge cases for testing code that reads CSV, JSON, XML, PDF and more.
- File upload testing
Test an upload form or endpoint with files of every size and type it should accept, and several it should refuse.
