Okay. Actually, I isolated all the spreadsheets which were causing the problem and then modified our code so that it prints a particular error message into the cells which have this issue.

Every single cell with a problem is a formula which links to another file on disk, only the file isn't actually on disk. So even if the formula would be parseable, it wouldn't be particularly useful because the file it links to is gone. Luckily, the values are still present anyway.
