Hi :)
Can you fix the spreadsheet using search&replace to find "#NAME?" and replace 
with "gall_to_litre"?  Hopefully that should fix it for the moment?


The bug-report is already tagged as "Major" and "medium" importance.  I'm not 
sure it can be pushed any higher than that?  I really don't know about how the 
devs run their side of things.  It is being worked on apparently but only got 
reported last month and might not be trivial to fix given that it involves a 
proprietary format.  


Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Bug saving as .xls format - loses a name 
reference

It is not an annoying bug, it *seriously corrupted my spreadsheet *as the
data while appearing OK was lost during the save and the problem only became
apparent when the spreadsheet was reopened. I was fooled by the web page
into thinking that the release was stable and fit for use.

In my case it ONLY corrupted about 200 cells which were fairly simple to
correct. In other spreadsheets I have several thousand such references using
perhaps a dozen named references which would be virtually impossible to
resurrect.

If this is not fixed very soon then all of the good work is in danger of
being destroyed as spreadsheets are damaged
