Frequently asked questions

How do I use XLSX sample files for import testing?

Start with a controlled workbook, verify required columns, then run import mapping and compare row counts and data types after ingestion.

Why do dates change when converting XLSX files?

Different tools interpret Excel serial dates differently. Always validate timezone and locale settings during conversion tests.

Are XLSX files better than CSV for templates?

For formulas, formatting, and multi-sheet workflows, yes. CSV is better for lightweight machine-oriented flat data exchange.

Why are multiple sample file sizes provided?

Different sizes help with smoke tests, parser validation, stress checks, and realistic performance benchmarking across import flows.

Can these samples be used in CI testing?

Yes. They are commonly used to validate parsers, import logic, and conversion reliability in automated pipelines.

How should I choose the right sample variant?

Pick small files for correctness checks and larger variants for performance and memory stress testing.
