           Summary: Cell Range in Formula not being Evaluated in Excel
           Product: POI
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: HSSF
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Placing a cell range in a formula results in a #VALUE! in the excel sheet if
the range rows differ. For example,

"SUM(G22:G22)" evaluates properly by summing the contents of cell G22
"SUM(G22:G28)" results in a #VALUE! in the excel document.

This functionality worked fine as of poi-bin-3.0.1-FINAL-20070705, but does not
work in poi-3.1-beta1.

A sample code snippet that sets the formula contents can be found below:


HSSFCellStyle summaryDataStyle = wb.createCellStyle();
summaryDataStyle.setAlignment(HSSFCellStyle.ALIGN_RIGHT);
summaryDataStyle.setFont(summaryItemFont);
summaryDataStyle.setDataFormat((short) 3);

...

HSSFCell currentCell = row.createCell((short)columnIndex++);
currentCell.setCellStyle(summaryDataStyle);                            
currentCell.setCellType(HSSFCell.CELL_TYPE_FORMULA);                           
currentCell.setCellFormula("SUM(G"+(previousItemStartRow+1)+":G"+row.getRowNum()+")");

where previousItemStartRow is an int.

Very strange that it evaluates correctly for a range that resolves to a single
cell, but not for a real range of cells. Again, the EXACT same code works fine
under the above 3.0 release.
