We might also consider Gapminder corpus of spreadsheets:

http://www.gapminder.org/data/

They are not nearly as diverse and weird as typical wild-caught spreadsheets. But they are far from perfect. They are good examples of sheets where someone is actually sort of trying to make the data easy to access. And sometimes failing.

Another valuable aspect: there is generally an Excel and Google Sheet version of what is allegedly the same data.

Good idea (especially as they're a lot easier to get at than things like the Enron corpus which is huge)
