Getting embedded excel files

So I’ve hit a weird problem at work and I’m wondering if anyone else has seen something similar.


We use a template for our software releases that we feed into a program and it checks all of our Jira tickets to make sure they meet audit standards. It fixes anything that needs fixing and raises warnings for the stuff it can’t, but now we have to include an evidence file for every release.

Corporate’s genius idea is to have everyone embed their file into the template, which is an xlsx spreadsheet. Because of weird excel handling, embedding an xlsx inside of another xlsx renders the embedded document unopenable if you extract it directly using something like ZipFile.

Does anyone know how to get an embedded xlsx file out of another xlsx without corrupting it?
