apache-bugzilla-sebast...@kaselo.de changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |NEW --- Comment #2 from apache-bugzilla-sebast...@kaselo.de --- Thanks for your quick reply - of course I understand your hesitation concerning foreign xlsx files. While digging deeper in it, I just realized that the bug seems to be fixed with version 5.2.5. The ticket may be closed in my opinion; sorry for bothering you with an already fixed bug. It might be worth, though, to add the unit test, or a similar one, to the code base as a regression test. For the record, in case someone stumbles over the same issue or you want to add a regression test: The xlsx file can be easily constructed locally by creating an xlsx file with a single sheet which contains the string "=VLOOKUP(A2;'file:///unknown-file.xlsx'#$unknown_sheet.$B$2:$H$1014;6;0)" in cell A1 (the formular seems weird in this context, but comes from a real application). The stack trace with version 5.2.4 is as follows: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.BaseXSSFFormulaEvaluator.cacheExternalWorkbookCells(BaseXSSFFormulaEvaluator.java:119) at org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.BaseXSSFFormulaEvaluator.evaluateFormulaCellValue(BaseXSSFFormulaEvaluator.java:64) at org.apache.poi.ss.formula.BaseFormulaEvaluator.evaluateFormulaCell(BaseFormulaEvaluator.java:184) at org.apache.poi.ss.formula.BaseFormulaEvaluator.evaluateAllFormulaCells(BaseFormulaEvaluator.java:277) at org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.XSSFFormulaEvaluator.evaluateAll(XSSFFormulaEvaluator.java:100) The exception is thrown because the call to getReferencedWorkbooks() in line 116 returns an empty map, causing externalWorkbook to be null. This was not checked in the call externalWorkbook.getSheetIndex(area3DPxg.getSheetName()) in line 119. The commit "[bug-67778] try to make formula eval involving external workbooks more robust" (git-svn-id: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/poi/trunk@1913045 13f79535-47bb-0310-9956-ffa450edef68, git commit ID 236710df, from 2023-10-17), which is included in version 5.2.5, has introduced a null check on externalWorkbook, thus avoiding the NullPointerException.
