Created attachment 53512 [details] Original.xls file (from MS Excel 2007) When you open the attached Original.xls file in LibO Calc (3.4.3) and re-save it as .xls (using "Save As...") some of the formulas that contain named ranges produce Err:520. --== Steps to reproduce ==-- 1. Open attached file (Original.xls) in LibO 2. Select "File" -> "Save As... (Ctrl + Shift + S)" 3. Enter some file name (e.g. "Saved_as_xls.xls") 4. Click "Save" to confirm 5. Close LibO 6. Open newly saved file (e.g. "Saved_as_xls.xls") Expected result: File should look exactly the same as the original. Actual result: Some (not all) formulas containing named ranges produce Err:520, specifically D8:E24. --== End of reproduction ==-- Additional comments: All the formulas in D6:E24 should contain the same formula (with updated relative references). However, only D8:E24 produce the error (D6:E7 appear fine). The attached file "Original.xls" was created with MS Excel 2007. The names have local scope (local to the sheet "Standard"). The file I attached is a trimmed version of the file I noticed it with. If the newly saved file (e.g. "Saved_as_xls.xls") is opened in Excel, it also produces an error (#NAME?). If original.xls is opened and saved to .ods, there is no problem. Additionally, if that .ods file is opened and saved as .xls, there is also no problem. -- Using LibreOfficePortable 3.4.3 (as from portableapps.com) Windows 7 Professional x64 About: LibreOffice 3.4.3 OOO340m1 (Build:302)

let me have a look at it I suspect another case of named ranges referencing each other
the linked bug report had a totally different reason and is fixed for a long time
and just to amke it clear, I think it is an import bug but had not yet time to look into it
reproducible with 3.5.0beta2

No problem anymore. Win 7 Pro 64-bit, LibO Version: 4.3.6.1 Build ID: 9629686a67dd1f357477c13325e45a66f3452bb9 Version: 4.5.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 5f6bdce0c0ac687f418821ce328f2987bf340cda TinderBox: Win-x86@62-TDF, Branch:MASTER, Time: 2015-01-17_01:06:46
This still appears to be a problem. I notice that the file has a lot of other problems (invalid references), but the bug I originally reported still appears. --== Steps to reproduce ==-- 1. Open the file (Original.xls) 2. RE-SAVE IT as an xls file (Saved_as_xls.xls) 6. Open the re-saved file (Saved_as_xls.xls) Compare the formula in cell D8 between the two xls files (Original.xls vs. Saved_as_xls.xls) Expected result: The formula (in D8) should read "=B6-x_" Actual result: The formula (in D8) reads "=B6-" in Saved_as_xls.xls --== End of reproduction ==-- Additional comments: I no longer have access to MS Office, so I cannot test the file in Excel. I notice that many of the cells contain reference errors. Those are beyond the scope of this bug report; only concentrate on the formula at D6. @Beluga: Can you give more details about how you tested? Did you re-save the file? What was the formula in cell D8? -- About: LibO Version: 4.3.5.2 Build ID: 430m0(Build:2) Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
