Hi All, I could finally resolve this formula problem. Just to give you all what had happened and how it got resolved.
The sheet reference formula requires that the sheet name should not contain spaces and special characters ( _ , - ). My actual application had the sheet name such as "LA_PRD SUB1" and hence the exception. I changed it to "LAPRDSUB1" and everything started working. To figure out this simple thing, it took me 2 days. I wanted to check the source code (2.0 ) but everytime I downloaded (6 times from 6 different site addresses ) , I got a corrupted zip file. Did anybody else faced the same problem? One more thing formula should not start with + sign. In that case you may encounter EmptyStackException. I was earlier using JCOM for sheet reference formula, but now with support for this in 2.0 , my excel generation takes less than half the time. Thanks you all the people responsible for this. -Anant Sagar ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew C.
