Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 32247
display error in formulas contaning sheet references with spaces
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:12:27 UTC
file was converted from excel initially, but I doubt that matters.... it seems that when editing a formula with references to another sheet, the display is confused when the other sheet has a space in its name. =sum($Other Sheet.a1:a2) will draw incorrectly when edited =sum($Other_Sheet.a1:a2) will draw correctly when edited
Hi, I was not able to reproduce this Issue. Please be more precise and add a step by step description how to reproduce your problem. Thanks Frank
open a new spreadsheet with Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3. insert the following into Sheet1.A1: =A2+SUM(Sheet2.$A2:$A3) rename Sheet2 to 'Sheet 2' Now go back and edit the formula in cell Sheet1.A1. In the example, it shows only the part after the space in color (red for me) and hi-lites that region on the *current* sheet. This can be misleading/distracting in very complex formulas. I think the formula is confused by the combination of the space and the : since it seems OK with single-cell references.
Hi Eike, the problem is that the colored cell reference in Edit mode of the cell is not correct if the Sheet name contains a Space. Frank
