About these samples

These are synthetic sample files for testing and learning. They are not real user documents and are not intended to contain personal data. A matching SHA-256 confirms you received the published bytes — it is not a malware scan or a guarantee that every application will accept the file.

What's in these XLSX samples

Checked on the 10 KB workbook: five sheets named Summary, Catalog, Orders, Inventory, and Notes. Worksheets contain numeric demo cells; no spreadsheet formulas (<f>) were found in the OOXML. Treat larger sizes as expanded versions of the same kind of synthetic workbook, and confirm sheet details in your own viewer when a test depends on them.

Limitations

The inspected 10 KB workbook has no formulas. Do not treat these files as finance models, chart suites, or macro-enabled workbooks. Exact row counts can differ by size — verify in your spreadsheet app when needed.

What you can test with these Excel samples

Use these XLSX downloads for spreadsheet upload forms, Office/Sheets import, and “does the app open a real workbook?” checks. The inspected 10 KB file includes five sheets — Summary, Catalog, Orders, Inventory, and Notes — with numeric demo cells and no spreadsheet formulas.

Pick the 1 MB Excel sample when you need a heavier workbook for limit testing. Confirm sheet names and row counts in your own viewer when a scenario depends on them; treat larger sizes as expanded synthetic workbooks, not finance models or macro-enabled files.

Do not use this ladder to prove formula evaluation, pivot caches, or chart rendering until those properties are published and measured separately.

What Is an XLSX Example File?

An XLSX example file is an Office Open XML spreadsheet fixture sized for testing. Use it when your product accepts Excel uploads or renders workbook previews.

The inspected 10 KB workbook already includes five sheets (Summary, Catalog, Orders, Inventory, Notes) with numeric demo cells. Formula-heavy and macro-enabled fixtures are not published yet — use this ladder for size and multi-sheet import checks, then verify larger files in your own spreadsheet app.
