    Version: 16.4.2 and 17.2.1

    Import xlsx file into an InDesign document with -1 or (1) in a cell and set formating to be “Unformatted Table” the cells come in as blank. If imported as “Formated Table” the cell comes in as expected, -1 or (1). Also, when imported as “Formated Only Once” the first import is okay, but when refreshing the -1 or (1) disappears.
    Attached is my import options

    This is still an issue. When I import xlsx with -1 or (1) in a cell it comes in as blank. If I import xls into a document it comes perfectly fine.
    Within my excel import settings I am setting a sheet, cell range and telling the formating to be Unformatted. If I import as formated the table imports perfectly fine.
    In 2022 this is not acceptable having to use a format that is 14 years old. We are currently using 16.4.2.

    Still having this same issue. When I import xlsx with -1 in a cell it comes in as blank. If I import xls into a document it comes perfectly fine. In 2022 this is not acceptable having to use a format that is 14 years old. Using the latest version of Indesign the issue seems to still be around..
