Hi Chris,

I've attached a couple of documents to the launchpad bug and to this
email:

"usg2010 before save.xls" : original excel before being touched by
openoffice

"usg2010 after save.xls" : excel after being touched by openoffice

"usg2010 after save screenshot.jpg" : screenshot displaying result after
save

"usg2010 before save screenshot formatting.jpg": shows original conditional
formatting formula in ms excel before being touched by openoffice

"usg2010 after save screenshot formatting.jpg" : shows changed conditional
formatting formula in ms excel after document was saved in openoffice

The issue is only visible when viewing in ms excel. Not in open office.

> I've got an excel 2003 with conditional formatting applied to each cell. In

> But when I re-open the file in excel 2003, the conditional formatting is

> reference to the sheet... which is not supported by excel. And the
> conditional formatting of each row refers back to row 1 instead of the
> current row.

> Example before openoffice save:
> OR(WEEKDAY($A133)=7;WEEKDAY($A133)=1)

> After openoffice save and re-open in excel:
> OR(WEEKDAY(timesheet!$A1)=7;WEEKDAY(timesheet!$A1)=1)
