I have a spreadsheet made with excel 2007, and when I open it with openoffice,
my drop down stuff link changed field (Data/Validity)

on excel 2007 I added a drop down with a range of $C1:$C31, but when I open it
with scalc, it convert it to $I1:$I31 which is completely wrong.

if you want me to post the spreadsheet somewhere I could

If I use a validity list in Excel 2007 and save a xlsx, then the list is set to
0 when opening in OOoDEV300m44.

I noticed the same problem, any drop down lists with cells and saved as XLSX
file opened in OpenOffice Calc loses its values (the cell range changes to "0").

This happens in OO 3.1.1 OOO310m19 (build:9420) @ WinXP

What is strange is that the same file opened in older version:

OO 3.1.0 OOO310m11 (build:9399) @ Ubuntu

works correctly.
Comment 4 koto1sa 2009-09-17 01:49:37 UTC
What's even more puzzling: 

While OO 3.1.0 OOO310m11 (build:9399) @ Ubuntu works does not suffer from this
bug, OO 3.1.0 OOO310m11 (build:9399) @ WinXP does.

apparently no problem in 3.2.0 anymore - or I don't see the problem. Please
check again and if it still occurs, please describe the problem with the
attachment in more detail.
