http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16985 Problems with POI-created formula cells Summary: Problems with POI-created formula cells Product: POI Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: HSSF AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm using jakarta-poi-1.9.0-dev-20030122. If I create a workbook containing formulas and then I try to call cell.getNumericCellValue on formula cells, returns 0.0 (the same happens if I save the workbook on disk and then I read it again with POI) If I open such a workbook with Excel2000, it works, but when I try to close the document (without any manual change), Excel prompts me with a question: "Do you want to save the changes you made to POI.xls? Microsoft Excel recalculates formulas when opening files last saved by an earlier version of Excel". Now, if I say "yes", and I read the newly saved workbook with POI, the cell.getNumericCellValue on formula cells returns the correct value. Here I put a short Java code presenting the problem, then I will attach two very simple xls (POI.xls and Excel.xls), the first created with POI and containing a formula cell that is not calculated by POI when asked to, the latter is the Excel saved version of the same workbook (it is quite bigger than the original). HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(); HSSFSheet sh = wb.createSheet("Sheet"); HSSFRow row = sh.createRow((short) 0); HSSFCell cell = row.createCell((short) 0); cell.setCellValue(3.18); cell = row.createCell((short) 1); cell.setCellFormula("A1"); //wb.write(new FileOutputStream("POI.xls")); //wb = new HSSFWorkbook(new FileInputStream("POI.xls")); //cell = wb.getSheet("Sheet").getRow(0).getCell((short) 1); System.out.println(cell.getCellFormula()); System.out.println(cell.getNumericCellValue()); This prints out: A1 0.0 The same happens if you uncomment the three commented lines By the way, since I know that formulas are under development, today I wanted to download the last nightly release before submitting this bug, but I found the nightly directory is empty ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
