Excel Preview Garbles Data on the Dropbox mobile app
Numbers in cells overrun into adjacent cells. No longer see a button to open file.

I started from scratch and created an entirely new Excel file. I have no idea what was going on with the previous version of the file, but the new one now displays properly in Dropbox, the same as it looks within Excel, with no overlapping text from one cell to the next.
So, I suppose that solves my issue.
Thanks for all the assistance.

Does that file also have this new behavior when viewing it in the Excel app?
What if the file was viewed in landscape mode, does the view expand to show the full cell?
