Ok, I finally tracked it down in the source code.
See class org.apache.poi.ss.formula.atp.AnalysisToolPak:

    public FreeRefFunction findFunction(String name) {
        // functions that are available in Excel 2007+ have a prefix _xlfn.
        // if you save such a .xlsx workbook as .xls
        final String prefix = "_xlfn.";
        // case-sensitive
        if(name.startsWith(prefix)) name = name.substring(prefix.length());

        // FIXME: inconsistent case-sensitivity
        return _functionsByName.get(name.toUpperCase(Locale.ROOT));
    }

If I change the check for the prefix to be case insensitive, then all is fine:

    if(name.toLowerCase().startsWith(prefix)) name = 
name.substring(prefix.length());

I still don't understand how I got the "_XLFN." prefix in the first place (I am 
using the newer XLSX format)
or why it is uppercase in my case or why the code explicitly says "// 
case-sensitive" for the prefix check.

Subject: Re: IFERROR not implemented in POI 4.0?

Thanks a lot for the answers.
Yes I am sure about the version. I made a new test project and it works with a 
new test excel but still fails for our real excel.
Problem is the real excel is both very complex and has lots of confidential 
client data.
I will try to track the bug down but it is not easy.

Are you sure you are using POI 4.0? IFERROR is implemented and we have
passing unit test for it.
