Hi,

You may try it with one of the procedures by Vilhelm-Ion Praisach http://praisachion.blogspot.nl/, "ImportXLSX.prg". When I use importfromxlsx("procedurestest.xlsx",2,'',.T.,.T.,0,'myCursor') on your XLSX file I do get some meaningfull data, play with the parameters to get the by you desired result.
