Excel workbooks convert in full.
Hidden sheets were being skipped on the assumption that hiding one says the
data doesn't matter. It doesn't — hiding is a presentation choice, and a
workbook's hidden sheets are as often the raw table a visible pivot summarises
as they are scratch space. Skipping them quietly dropped the data the note was
about.
- Every sheet is converted, hidden ones included. Convert hidden sheets
in settings turns that off. - Skipped sheets are named, not counted.
Skipped (hidden): raw data (monthly), Region, Agebracketinstead of18 hidden sheets skipped— a
count tells a reader nothing they can act on. Empty sheets, and sheets whose
worksheet part is missing from the file, are named the same way; the latter
used to vanish without a trace. - Coverage is in the frontmatter.
sheets_converted: 23/23at the top of
the note, so how much of the workbook made it across is the first thing you
see rather than a footnote after two thousand lines. - Load-bearing hidden sheets are kept regardless of the setting. If a
visible sheet's formulas, a pivot cache, a chart series or a workbook-scoped
named range reads from a hidden sheet, it is converted and reported. That
dependency is a far stronger signal than the hidden flag.
Nothing changed in how cells are read: dates still come out as dates,
percentages as percentages, and 27.38 still isn't 27.383982300884924.
