Preview of Excel in App distorted

Dear All
I use Dropbox preview on my iPhone to open xls files and see data.
Since couple of weeks there is an issue for a table with grouped columns that are collapsed.
=> information of several neighbour cells like b15, c15, d15 are scrambelled together and hard to read.
Issue does happen in preview not when file is opened.
I wonder how to get rid of issue as there was no change in the file.
If needed I can provide a screenshot

Thank you for your help!

    Hey cosmossenator! Thanks for posting on the forum. 

     

    A screenshot of what you see on the mobile app vs on the actual Excel app would be lovely, indeed. 

     

    Give me a nudge, when you’ve added it here.

    Could you let me know how to post a screenshot? I have only a plain text box 🙁

    Right before replying back to me, do you see a small camera icon above your message box? If you click on it, you should be able to upload your screenshot.
