What in spreadsheets is not testable? It's trivial to write a test that opens the spreadsheet in excel and tests any formula calculations via Excel Automation API.
You store them in the same place where you place other tests. It's just code. You version the data as you version any other test data. Never used travis myself, I guess it's some kind of CI.
Many people do this. It's perfectly normal.
Of course if you don't even use Excel in the first place, I don't know why you're asking.
Or didn’t “help” by silent type conversions that skew analyses (which you’ll never notice because, uh, no tests) https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/08/one-five-genetics-pa...
