Can't connect to Excel file with merged cells (located where headers would normally be)

$

I have an Excel (xlsx) file I'm trying to process, and I can't even connect to to it.  There are a bunch of merged cells , located where headers would normally be, as well as merged cells throughout the file.

 

Here's the error I'm getting.

Corrupt File - XML parse failure - cell has no column definition

 

I have a work-around -- I think -- going to have provider manually unmerge all cells before saving and then use the Multi-Row Formula tool to add in the missing info, but obviously, I'd like to avoid adding manual steps.  Has anyone else seen this?
