Description m_a_riosv 2013-05-01 18:56:07 UTC
From a question in Ask.
http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/15867/manage-calc-cell-name-global-or-by-sheet/

DDE() does not work with range names with local scope.

Win7x64 Ultimate
LibreOffice Version 4.0.3.1 (Build ID: a67943cd4d125208f4ea7fa29439551825cfb39)

LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 3215f89-f603614-ab984f2-7348103-1225a5b

Maybe there is some way to reference the range names with local scope?

Confirmed under GNU/Linux with TDF/LO v4.0.3.3. Setting status to NEW. The message presented is the one introduced by this commit if this is any help:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice-commits/2011-June/013389.html

Also appears related to this AskLO query:

http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/15386/using-dde-linking-in-calc-newer-than-v331/

...which would seem to indicate it goes back to at least v3.5.7.2.

A search for earlier related reports has revealed bug #36311 which is possibly the same problem. The example files in that bug throw the same error but on a cell reference range (e.g., Element : 'Action Plan 2 Year 1'.C52:N52). The era of that bug (v3.3.2) would also appear to be more in keeping with the version comments in the AskLO thread I linked in comment #3. I have left the version as reported for now.

The comments by Kohei Yoshida in #6 and #8 of that bug would seem to indicate that the "Link to External Data" facility is the preferred method moving forwards. Adding a Depends On link to the indicated bug for reference. If this is not the right approach, can someone please make an appropriate link? Thanks.

These two bug reports have nothing to do with each others.
