Dear Developers,

Libreoffice is a great software that I work with regularly.
Following is the version that I am working with currently.

Version: 7.3.2.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 49f2b1bff42cfccbd8f788c8dc32c1c309559be0
CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 12.2.1; UI render: default; VCL: osx
Locale: en-IN (en_IN.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

When I work on my spreadsheets in this order:

Microsoft Excel First, then take the .xlsx file to LibreOffice Calc and
Back to MS Excel for some more work ( then Save it as CSV or TSV finally ) ,

I notice that in the output CSV file, lots of commas get added, at the end
of the records, to indicate that they are NULL columns.

I enclose these sheets hereby with numbering from 1 to 5, so that you can
spot out the source of the error.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Nathan SR
