    Description

      NOTE: This bug report is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding bug report.

      Summary

      When using the Files Macro to insert Timeline chart.xlsx, the preview generated is incorrect. The File Macro display the spreadsheet based on the page size set in the excel file.

      Steps to Reproduce
      1. Download and attach Timeline chart.xlsx to a page in Confluence
      2. Save the Page
      Expected Results:

      The table should look similar to how it does in Excel:

      1. Go to the page with the attachments and click the three dots next to Watch at the top right.
      2. From the pulldown, choose attachments.
      3. There is a blue link for "view" next to the spreadsheet.
