Like you pointed out, I care for just the results of a formula and not
the formaula itself. 

But just out of curiosity, how do you go about fixing and debugging
something like this. I don't think the debugger is a good place as the
sheet representation is usually very large.
Also, if the cells which contain the formula are not recognized or
handeled by POI, what can I do in : 
1. POI 2. The excel sheet 
to take care of this?
Its not something I need to know urgently, but I am very interested to
know.

As I said yesterday, I have written some VB code which creates new
sheets and dumps just the data in.

Thanks,
Harsh.

Actually, it is often possible to ignore this, but it depends how much 
information you need.

If you need to know what the formula string was, then you'll have to 
deal with everything your formulas ever encounter.  (Our own application

leans towards this preference, but we have only implemented missing 
formula parts in the event that there are too many warnings being 
displayed in the logs.

However, if all you need to know is the result of the formula (which is 
probably all most people need) then you don't need to worry about this 
kind of error at all.

As for what Ptg stands for... allegedly it stands for "parse thing", 
though I don't see a mention of this in the javadocs for the Ptg class 
so maybe that was made up. :-)
