Description Christian 2018-05-26 11:16:37 UTC
Description:
In the LO ods document certain Cells are color coded. The background color set by a pulldown choice, inherited from a second sheet.

The document was created in MS Excel originally.
When the dosument is now exported to xlsx the color codeing does not show up in MS-Excel
Openeing the .xlsx document in LO shows the expected colors though.

So the formating is not lost but not encoded in a way MS-Excel understands.

Priority
  This is pretty critical as it prevents collaborations with MS-Office users on the same documents.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the provided .xlsx file in MS-Excel
2. Compare with the rendering in LO
3.

Actual Results:  
All Cell backgrounds show up in white in MS-Excel

Expected Results:
The background colors of all cells should match the colors as they show up in LO.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

untouched MS Office doc

I created a yet another document by loading the orginal MS Office document in Excel and simplifying it to the same level as the first testcase.
However, I did this in MS Excel this time. So LO has not touched this document.
Please use this as a reference.

Note: The first testcase has a different history but was originally the same document.

Comment 11 Markus Mohrhard 2018-07-14 22:46:47 UTC
This is actually a MS Excel bug. Our output is according to the spec but I have now added a work around that fixes the import into Excel.

At the same time I have fixed a few smaller issues that I found with my test documents.
