Follow-up Comment #1:

Confirmed.

What I see when opening the file with Excel 2013 is complaints about
SharedStrings.xml and a missing xml closing tag. 
FYI, SharedStrings.xml (a file in the zip archive that any .xlsx file really
is) contains most of the text cell contents in he entire .xlsx file.
My analysis is that SharedStrings.xml has been garbled by xlswrite and is
unrecognized and as a consequence all strings (text cell contents) in the
workbook have disappeared from sight.

I'll look into it.

Q.: How was the original Excel file made? (with what program?)

I have adapted the title - it is uncertain if merged cells have anything to do
with this.
