Description martinbrait 2017-04-14 17:46:47 UTC
Description:
My option button values
Are never backed up with the same
Result, once the file
Is converted from ods to xls.

Look at myvalues ​​stored in the calculation page, [C6: C12]
Once the file is converted to xls
The result has nothing to do with the original file in ods format.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make an ods file and use controls 
2. report values from these controls to a cell
3. save to ods format
3. save again to xls format


Actual Results:  
I see that certain values are missing in the xls file, and I really don't understand why !

Expected Results:
certain values are erased in the xls version


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I didn't try to reset my profile.

I can't reproduce your issue with:
Version: 4.3.7.2 Build ID: 8a35821d8636a03b8bf4e15b48f59794652c68ba

But this an old version, maybe you can try with a new one.

Or please try resetting the user profile, sometimes solves strange issues.
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile
Usually it's enough renaming/deleting the file "user/registrymodifications.xcu",  it affects all the options in Menu/Tools/Options, and the files "user/basic/dialog.xlc" and "scrip.xlc" are overwritten, additionally custom colors in "user/config/standard.soc" are lost.

I can see now, but it happens also with xlsx.
Versión: 5.3.2.2 (x64)
Id. de compilación: 6cd4f1ef626f15116896b1d8e1398b56da0d0ee1
Subproc. CPU: 4; SO: Windows 6.19; Repr. de IU: predet.; Motor de trazado: HarfBuzz; 
Configuración regional: es-ES (es_ES); Calc: group

It works with native file format.

Hello MiguelAnge,

I really want to use any of those file formats ots,ods,xls. My files should be converted at any time.


Then I can do treatment for those files, with OpenOffice, LibreOffice And MicrosoftOffice whatever. I'm free to choose my application, and i am not afraid about it. I will do it without a problem!

There is no other way than to wait for some developer putting their attention on this issue.
