            Bug ID: 74538
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: Gives reference errors on opening Excel files (xls,
                    xlsx)
          Severity: major
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Windows (All)
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 4.2.0.4 release
         Component: Spreadsheet
           Product: LibreOffice

When opening a complicated Excel file
 (taken from  
http://www.ene.gov.on.ca/environment/en/resources/STDPROD_086520.html  )
 in V.2.0.4 of calc, there were many cells that came up with a reference error.
 This did not occur in opening the same file in LibreOffice V4.1. 

I could not determine the exact conditions or algorithms under which the error
occurs, as there seemed to be a bit of a random nature to them.  

In checking this one out, you may wish to look at the "Tier 2 Input tab of the
above spreadsheet, in rows 69 on, or in "final tables of standards"  tab. 

I set this one as a "Major" problem because it will likely occur elsewhere, and
it has the potential to severely limit the ability of people to use LibreOffice
for Excel files. 


p.s. LibreOffice 4.1 handles the file perfectly, except for altering the number
format to scientific when there is conditional formatting. (see tab "Tables of
Drivers - Soil)
