Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 52528
Import of XLS-Files with numerous linked files incomplete
Last modified: 2013-02-07 21:48:58 UTC
If you have an XLS-File with numerous links to other xls-files, the formulas are not all imported correct to Ooo. From a certain cell the formulas contain #REF instead of the name of the linked file. The functionality can be rebuilt in a native-Ooo spreadsheet and is working well. I have tried some time about this and think it is not depending on the number of links, but on the length of the pathes to import at all. To reproduce: Import the attached XLS_result.xls and answer the updating-question wiht "No". The result is obviously. For comparison I will also attach the Ooo_result.ods, which is the native-Ooo.
Created attachment 28252 [details] Original Excel-File which is not imported complete
Created attachment 28253 [details] Rebuilded functionality in native-Ooo
The number of sheets reaches the limit of 256. All links to sheets in external documents are implemented in Calc as hidden linked sheet. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 19440 ***
double -> closed
After a long time I checked again: My Excel-File crashes DEV300m84 when the memory consumption reaches 2GB (WinXP) although according to issue 19440 the reason must have been gone.
Can be reproduced on AOO350m1build9610.
