Hi All, Under 3.0.2 I was able to read and write excel files that had charts with long titles without problem. POI 3.1 fails to read excel files that contain charts with titles longer than 256 characters. With a little digging I found that in 3.1 chart titles are being read as SeriesTextRecords whereas in 3.0.2 they were being read as UnknownRecords.
SeriesTextRecords have a byte text length field that limits the title text length to 256 characters. I presume that this is why 3.1 fails to read in files containing charts with long titles whereas the data length of the UnknownRecord is not limited and 3.0.2 had no problems. Since excel allows for chart titles longer than 256 characters, I would presume the 256 character limit imposed by the SeriesTextRecord is a bug. Is this the case? Is there a work around for this problem? Thanks in advance for your help. Laird
