Col(i) return empty string even when there has value

[qitianchan]

When I read the data from xls file with function *func (r Row) Col(i int) string , I got empty string in some rows. I found that because I insert in character in a cell which is expect a number. I open xls file on macbook, and use WPS office.

Having the same issue. Sergilem's fork also returns empty string.

Same issue here. This happens only for some documents.
I also tried sergeilem's fork and it didn't change anything.

Any fix or work around for this?

The very first column of the very first row will return a string. But then everything else returns empty. Have no idea what the issue is.

I see the same problem -- first row okay, the rest it has the right number of columns but they are all empty.
If it matters, I got this xls file by exporting a query from Access, and it reads just fine into Google Sheets.

Any update on this? I am having the same issue.
