Well, that's exciting! :P  

When you decompress the zip file, the first sheet is 100MB.

When I look at the shared strings file, I see: {{count="331360" uniqueCount="143"}} so, yeah, there's a lot of duplicated data, but this isn't a Tika problem...I don't think.  The issue is that you can't actually see this easily in Excel.

>             Project: Tika
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: parser
>    Affects Versions: 1.20, 1.19.1
>            Reporter: Sébastien Nussbaumer
>            Priority: Major
>         Attachments: excel_that_generates_huge_number_of_words.xlsx, tika-config.xml

> When I parse the attached 4 mb excel file, I get 164 mb worth of words. When checking out the words I see that some cells are repeated *many hundred thousand* of times.
> I tried passing the words through the uniq linux command line utility and got a file with a much more reasonnable size of 16 kb.
> This is the code I use : 
> {code:java}
> TikaConfig config = new TikaConfig(new ClassPathResource("tika-config.xml").getURL());
> Detector detector = config.getDetector();
> Parser autoDetectParser = new AutoDetectParser(config);
> Tika tika = new Tika(detector, autoDetectParser);
> try (LanguageWriter languageWriter = new LanguageWriter(LanguageDetector.getDefaultLanguageDetector().loadModels());
>         OutputStreamWriter outputStreamWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(output, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
>         CompositeWriter compositeWriter = new CompositeWriter(outputStreamWriter, languageWriter)) {
>     WriteOutContentHandler handler = new WriteOutContentHandler(compositeWriter, indexedChars);
>     ParseContext context = new ParseContext();
>     context.set(Parser.class, tika.getParser());
>     tika.getParser().parse(input, new BodyContentHandler(handler), new Metadata(), context);
> } 
> {code}
