Is the problem just this?

It's not a file permissions thing, I'm pretty sure it's just libreoffice
being a bit dim. Can you just re-enable r/w by toggling the "edit"
switch as above? It might help to save a copy as a native .ods instead
of .xls as well.

Here you seem to have created such a file, but it has 0 file size for
some reason:

-rw-r--r--  1 julian julian      0 Apr 10  2017 Solar Production 2017.ods
-rw-r--r--  1 julian julian  22528 Mar  6 01:11 Solar Production 2017.xls

Perhaps you'd just created it and not saved it when you ran the ls
command. Anyway, try CTRL+SHIFT+M to re-enable edit mode and see what
that does.

Cheers
Many thanks Peter, Michael and mr meowski; I'll try the simple solution first. I have just discovered that Solar Production 2017.xls opened as Read Only will allow me to copy the individual sheets into a new file and save that in home/Documents. I'll try later and see if it lets me move it to the proper folder.

BTW it's Open Office not Libre Office, but I will try that solution.

Cheers,

Julian
