If this issue is meant to be taken seriously, you need to give more technical details, pointers to the appropriate parts of the specification you're referring to, etc. As this is not affecting document exchange, but is only technical detail it doesn't justify P2 My reading of the spec is that it is used by excel for performance reasons only. Bit if those are present, they must contain valid data. It also states: "Excel uses the INDEX and DBCELL records to optimize the lookup of cell records ( RK, FORMULA, and so on). You can use these records to optimize your code when reading a BIFF file, or you can just read the entire workbook (Book) stream to find the cell values you want. The unoptimized method may be slower, depending on the size, structure, and complexity of the file." Anyway - confirming |
