------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 5 10:40:58 +0000 2008 ------- I exported a .ods file with a field containing =indirect(""'sheet2'"."& "F"&COLUMN()-4) It got saved as a .xls file and read in a german Excel installation (2003) =indirekt("'sheet2'"."& "F"&SPALTE()-4) The '.' needs to be a '!' for this reference to work using the sheet name. Not sure what the fix is here, as it's inside a string and probably difficult to find and handle correctly... but this is an incompatibility to Excel, and could be fixed by allowing '!' as a sheet reference as well as '.' I'd be happy to make using '!' for sheet reference a feature request to solve this issue... otherwise, the only solution is to manually rework the spreadsheets (ugly!). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
