Description Aron Budea 2018-06-28 23:18:20 UTC
Created attachment 143195 [details]
Sample XLSM

The attached XLSM spreadsheet contains 7000 rows with a simple summation macro (sums values in B-Z columns, which aren't filled, so the result is always 0).
In Excel the file opens in ~1s.

In Calc it opens in ~23s.

If macros are disabled, rows 2-7000 show #VALUE! error, which means those are the ones being calculated, when they shouldn't.

Observed using LO 6.1 beta2 / Windows 7.
Comment 1 Aron Budea 2018-06-29 00:15:15 UTC
Already opens slowly in 4.3.0.4, and in 4.2.0.4 the macro isn't executed at all. => implementation error
Comment 2 Mike Kaganski 2018-06-29 00:35:28 UTC
Confirmed that both using "Never recalculate" and "Always recalculate" for "Recalculation on file load"->"Excel 2007 and newer", the opening time is ~same long (with recalculation), while it should be much shorter for the "Never recalculate" case.

Tested with Version: 6.0.5.2 (x64)
