Description: A spreadsheet with reference to external areas, ONLY NAMED areas, will not display the result of the formulas once the file is reopened. Even if it did display propery by the previous closing. All cells containing a reference to the external names areas will display "#NAME ?" as the figures are recalculated at the file opening. F9 and Ctrl-Shift-F9 have no effect. To have a cell recalculated properly it needs to be modified (Replace all "=" with "=" will do the job). WORKAROUND ! In a sheet with thousands of references to an external named area, it's just enough to have one reference to the same area HARD CODED (not NAMED) to recover all the references, including the names one (any reference to the external spreadsheet may be sufficient). Steps to Reproduce: See description Actual Results: #NAME ? Expected Results: a calculated value Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: See description
EDIT Sorry, misinterpreted an observation: It's not the fact of changing the reference to an area from named to hard coded that make it work, it's just the fact of having the external file opened... In other words: open the files a spreadsheet refers to prior to open the spreadsheet itself will lead to a working recalculation at the opening.
