Hi, and thanks for reporting this. Actually there are quite a few XLS documents which the text extractor is unable to process. Could you please report the output of:

/usr/share/recoll/filters/rclxls.py /path/to/problem.xls

Report:

I think that this means that the xls text extractor can't grok the file, or does not find any data in it. There is not much I can do about it.

Not much I can do...
