They are saved as long as the referenced range does not exceed a size of 1024 cells. This has been done to prevent memory problems with files that reference an entire sheet in an external document, see http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=70418. AFAIK, Excel does only save the results of non-empty external cells, that would be an option for the export filter too.

Hi Cor, the problem is not the missing linked file, at least not with OOo2.3. The problem is the unsorted search vector used with the VLOOKUP functions in column H. Excel requires a sorted search vector for the vlookup as used in the column as well as Calc do. At least they require this in the help for the function. So they break the own rules. The problem can be solved either by sorting the search vector or setting the parameter (zero or false) for unsorted search vectors in the vlookup formula.

The final analyses (on the forum): - the xls file contains reference to another spreadsheet; - the another spreadsheet is not available; - Excel viewer is able to show the right values; - OOo is not. So it looks as if the Excel viewer uses some data in the file, that OOo does not. I cannot find anything about that in IssueTracker. Also at [EMAIL PROTECTED] no reply. Does anyone know this problem? Is there an issue describing it?

They probably don't break the rule, but for unsorted data the so-called sorted range lookup may deliver any result that fits for a less-or-equal query. The actual result delivered depends on the algorithm used. It is coincidence that Calc for that data constellation delivers #N/A. So whoever used the data for vital tasks in Excel or some viewer should carefully check the results it delivered with reality ;-) Eike -- OOo/SO Calc core developer.
