Affinity Publisher crash on place xlsx file

[Maxdanger]

Hi Affinity team!

I have made a calendar template in Excel and I would like to place it in Affinity Publisher to create a calendar. When I try to place it, the whole program crashes on me. Here's a video I've recorded showing the issue in action. I've tried the usual reboot etc and the problem persists.

Affinity Publisher version: 1.10.5
Machine: M1 Pro Macbook Pro (Monterey 12.5.1)
Calendar template.afpub and Yearly calendar.xlsx  attachments that I use in the video 

Please can someone take a look and see if there are any settings I need to change or if it's a bug that needs to be fixed.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @Maxdanger welcome to the forums,

Thanks for providing your files, I've been able to replicate your crash on Mac and Windows and it has now been logged with the developers. I don't believe changing any combination of settings will allow this file to be placed, as I was experiencing the crash even after stripping down the file significantly.

Hi Nathan,

Thanks very much for passing this on to the developers, I'll wait to hear further. Cheers 👍
