Comment 1 Nick Burch 2008-01-08 09:31:32 UTC 
Is this problem still occuring with a svn checkout of poi?

If so, please attach the problem excel file
Comment 2 David Fisher 2009-02-18 12:04:50 UTC 
There has been quite a bit of work with the latest POI-3.5beta5.

You should try it to see if it solves this formula ptg problem.

Please let us know.

Without useful information for over a year, I am resolving this as "INVALID" - admittedly arbitrary as it may more properly be "FIXED"
