Failing to parse formatting.

I have recently attempted to open a worksheet and an error occurred in the content property of "Cell\Text.py". The error is "TypeError: sequence item 3: expected str instance, NoneType found". After taking a look in the sharedstrings.xml I found the error happened when parsing the following XML.

<si>
  <r>
    <t>“Replaced Data”</t>
  </r>
  <r>
    <rPr>
      <sz val="11"/>
      <color rgb="FF008080"/>
      <rFont val="Calibri"/>
      <family val="2"/>
      <scheme val="minor"/>
    </rPr>
  <t/>
  </r>
</si>

I think it is to do with the "<t/>" tag and not finding any data.

Thanks. If this is really extracted from an existing file then it's pretty odd because the styled text is empty. Almost worth raising an exception for!

Is this an original Excel file? If not I suggest submitting a report on whichever library created the file.

Allow styled text blocks to have empty text elements.

Related to this - does openpyxl (presently) support changes in text styling within a cell? The example below is from MS Excel sharedStrings.xml where the word bold is in (well) bold. This is equivalent to a paragraph.run in python-docx.

    <si>
        <r>
            <t xml:space="preserve">text with </t>
        </r>
        <r>
            <rPr>
                <b/>
                <sz val="12"/>
                <color theme="1"/>
                <rFont val="Calibri"/>
                <family val="2"/>
                <scheme val="minor"/>
            </rPr>
            <t>bold</t>
        </r>
        <r>
            <rPr>
                <sz val="12"/>
                <color theme="1"/>
                <rFont val="Calibri"/>
                <family val="2"/>
                <scheme val="minor"/>
            </rPr>
            <t xml:space="preserve"> emphasis</t>
        </r>
    </si>

Apologies if it's in here and I didn't find it.

There are no plans ever to support this. Use PR #224 if you want it.

Thanks for the pointer to the PR. Enjoyed your last comment in that thread.
