Hello Gary,

We too got same error as you posted.

# java -jar spdx-tools-1.2.9-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar  
TagToSpreadsheet libnl-2.0.tar.gz.spdx  libnl.xls
The following verifications failed for the SPDXDocument:
        Creator does not start with one of Person:, Organization:, Tool:
Unexpected error translating the tag-value to spreadsheet: The maximum length 
of cell contents (text) is 32,767 characters

Let me know when this bug will be fixed? Approximate time line?.
Do SPDX 2.0 specs are OUT? Released?

Best regards
Kotrappa

Hi Kotrappa,

It appears you have hit a limitation in Microsoft Excel.

When I ran the utility against libXcursor, I got the following error message:

Unexpected error translating the tag-value to spreadsheet: The maximum length 
of cell contents (text) is 32,767 characters

This was due to  the GPL 3 text being added as an extracted license.

I do think there is a bug in the error message - it could be more descriptive.  
I added a bug report to address this: 
https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1251

I'll take a look at possible solutions after I finish upgrading the tools to 
the new SPDX 2.0 spec.

Let me know if that error message was not produced - it could indicate another 
bug.

Gary

Hello Gary,

For the attached .spdx files, the SPDX tools 1.2.9 which you shared in your 
last email does not work.
"Per File Info" is kept blank when .spdx is converted to Spreadsheet.
Please let us know if there is any discrepancy in input .spdx files.

Thanks & Regards
Kotrappa.
