Description SheetJS 2018-07-06 17:59:34 UTC
Description:
Excel recognizes an autofilter region by the presence of the <autoFilter/> entry in the individual worksheet XML.

LO appears to check for the defined name _xlnm._FilterDatabase .  While files generated by Excel do include the defined name, Excel only requires the autoFilter tag.

Related: https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx/issues/1165

Steps to Reproduce:
Open attached files

Actual Results:
LibreOffice only recognizes autofilter in af_with_tag_and_name.xlsx

Expected Results:
LibreOffice recognizes autofilter in af_with_tag_and_name.xlsx and af_with_tag.xlsx


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
There are 3 attached files:

- af_with_tag_and_name.xlsx was generated in Excel 2016, then edited using zip.vim to reformat the xml in the workbook entry `xl/workbook.xml` and `xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml`

- af_with_tag.xlsx was generated by removing the definedNames block of the workbook XML of af_with_tag_and_name.xlsx

- af_with_name.xlsx was generated by removing the autoFilter tag from the worksheet XML of af_with_tag_and_name.xlsx

Dear SheetJS,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Warm Regards,
QA Team
