Description Dennis Francis 2017-07-11 09:24:05 UTC
Created attachment 134583 [details]
XLSX file with formula containing large range

Steps to reproduce :

1) Open the attached xlsx file
2) Select cell B4 and do "ReCalculate" (Data > Calculate > ReCalculate)
3) B4 now shows error : #NAME? instead of the value 6.


In the attachment the cell B4 has the formula =SUM(A2:BZZ2) and row 2 has values only upto column C. LO supports only 1024 columns(upto AMJ), but I think for large ranges in formulas should be truncated by the available columns(ie in this case, A2:BZZ2 needs to be truncated to A2:AMJ2) while importing from xlsx rather than reporting an error.
Comment 1 Xavier Van Wijmeersch 2017-07-11 12:38:50 UTC
i did the steps and yes confirmed, but looking in the formula the second part of the sum is lowercase(=SUM(A2:bzz2)), this is because the BZZ2 column does not exist; it most be ABZ2 and you can recalculate without the #NAME error

Comment 2 Xavier Van Wijmeersch 2017-07-11 12:57:47 UTC
i am sorry for the noise because it did not read the description properly;
but one thing i can't understand is why LibreOffice must be a clone of or in the worst case the same as M$Office

Moving to ASSIGNED since there is a patch in gerrit for this bug: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/39815/
Comment 4 Eike Rathke 2017-07-11 17:55:25 UTC
Truncating ranges to actually supported columns is not a good idea. While it works for SUM() if cells in excess columns were empty, it fails and silently changes the result if they were not empty. It also does not work for functions that take the argument as array and empty cells are evaluated as 0 to be calculated with. Already COLUMNS(Range) delivers a different result, and something like COLUMN(Range) in array context with Range truncated truncates also the resulting array with column numbers, so for example {=SUM(COLUMN(A2:BZZ2))} would give a different result instead of Error.

Yes makes sense, I see lots of problems that way. I guess now the only feasible way is to push forward the work on tdf#50916. Thanks.

Now very large sheets are somewhat supported, but enabling that and opening this file makes Calc instantly crash in current 7.1 master.
