Description Mikeyy - L10n HR 2013-10-17 07:24:18 UTC
Created attachment 87778 [details]
Source XLSX file

I have XLSX files generated by SAP BI software. They open correctly formatted in Excel 2007, but in LibreOffice they open without any number or date formatting.
Further, if I save file with LO it looses it's date/number formatting in other applications also (Excel 2007).

Attached you can find test.xlsx which is source file generated by SAP BI, and picture of same file opened in Excel 2007 on Win 7 64bit.

Comment 5 Bartosz 2016-06-05 20:37:41 UTC
I made some investigation about this problem, and it seems that importing "Custom Formatting" from xlsx is not working properly.

Property windows after import test.xlsx

Property windows after import test.xlsx, shows that user defined custom formatting is properly imported into LibreOffice.

To workaround this issue you could select impacted cells, click Right Mouse Button,  select "Format Cells" and then apply User Defined formatting manually.

Could you please reproduce this issue with single cell (with custom formatting)?

One cell test document

Here is one cell test document. You will notice background is white for first 2 rows, but I didn't find a way to remove that from program.

A1 cell has todays date, 6.6.2016 and it should be shows formatted like that.
I user font Arial, size 15, bold, centered both horizontally and vertically.

If I just right click A1 cell in LO 5.1.4.1 (win 8.1), and go to Format Cell, formatting shown is NUMBER / GENERAL, not DATE.

When I generate document as XLS (from original program), custom formatting is shown correctly.
Comment 8 Bartosz 2016-06-17 22:24:41 UTC
It seems that described behaviour could be split into several two bugs.

I have created bug which is needed to properly resolve this bug: 
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100464

My plan is first resolve issue with missing custom cell formatting and after that resolve that bug.
Comment 9 Bartosz 2016-07-05 00:14:48 UTC
To provide proper fix I need to test it in different user scenario. It will help in avoiding potential regression.

Could you please provide instruction, how to create .xlsx document with MS Excel, in which this bug will appear.

Does this issue is visible only in .xlsx documents created by SAP BI software?
Comment 10 Bartosz 2016-07-06 14:43:29 UTC
This bug is related to this one:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81350

I will check if the same solution works for it.

I don't have Excel, so I can't reproduce it.
Yes, it's visible only in .xlsx files. Old binary .xls files created by this software are not affected.

I think backend for that software is Excel 2010 retail installation trough which it creates documents.
Comment 13 Mikeyy - L10n HR 2016-07-06 19:03:18 UTC
When I open my xlsx files, it says in workbook.xml this:
http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main

Does that means it's created by Excel 2007? Not really sure about versions, but I'll see if I can check somehow tomorrow.
Comment 14 Bartosz 2016-07-08 14:21:07 UTC
Thanks to Markus which point that root cause of problem was default value for "applyNumberFormat", I think the root cause of problem is wrong "xfId".

After testing different .xlsx content, I think the default value of "applyNumberFormat" is ok ("false" in this case).
The problem could be with default value of "xfId", which in my case should be "0" for all fields in "cellXfs"

After changing from (test_LO_original.xlsx file in attachment):
    <cellXfs count="3">
        <xf numFmtId="0" fontId="0" fillId="0" borderId="0"/>
        <xf numFmtId="0" fontId="1" fillId="2" borderId="0" applyFont="1" applyFill="1" applyAlignment="1">
            <alignment horizontal="left" vertical="bottom"/>
        </xf>
        <xf numFmtId="172" fontId="2" fillId="2" borderId="0" applyFont="1" applyFill="1" applyAlignment="1">
            <alignment horizontal="center" vertical="center"/>
        </xf>
    </cellXfs>
to  (test_LO_hacked.xlsx file in attachment):
    <cellXfs count="3">
        <xf numFmtId="0" fontId="0" fillId="0" borderId="0" xfId="0"/>
        <xf numFmtId="0" fontId="1" fillId="2" borderId="0" xfId="0" applyFont="1" applyFill="1" applyAlignment="1">
            <alignment horizontal="left" vertical="bottom"/>
        </xf>
        <xf numFmtId="172" fontId="2" fillId="2" borderId="0" xfId="0" applyFont="1" applyFill="1" applyAlignment="1" applyNumberFormat="0">
            <alignment horizontal="center" vertical="center"/>
        </xf>
    </cellXfs>
everything is working correctly, even if I export it via LibreOffice to .xlsx format

After save test_LO_original.xlsx file by MS Excel, it is adding xfId="0" and applyNumberFormat="1" (test_LO_saved_by_Excel.xlsx file in attachment).

Now as I know more about root cause of problem, I'm starting implementation of solution to propose.

Wow, good job finding root cause!
Looking forward to fix!
Comment 17 Mikeyy - L10n HR 2016-07-08 20:48:50 UTC
Can I ask you, if it's not too much trouble, to apply fix to 5.1 and 5.2 branch, or at least 5.2 which will be published in about 1 month?
Thank you.
Comment 18 Bartosz 2016-07-09 08:20:29 UTC
First patch needs to be pushed into master (5.3) and then it could be backported into 5.0,  5.1 and 5.2

Unfortunalety I am not experienced in that matter. I started contributing to two moths ago.

Could you please attach both .xls and .xlsx files (complex one). I would like to compare how it is imported.

LO_TEST - XLS

This is XLS version of more complicated file. It includes date, formated numbers (1.000.000,00 with negatives in red) and percentage (10,00%).

Also, when I was saving file from program and choosed xlsx file, it said Excel 2007 version.

Next file will be XLSX.

Comment 23 Bartosz 2016-07-13 11:54:34 UTC
Following parameters needs to be set to "0" by default, if it is not explicetely set in .xlsx file:
 - numFmtId="0" 
 - fontId="0" 
 - fillId="0" 
 - borderId="0" 
 - xfId="0"
I checked it with MS Excel 2010 and Excel 2007 and it is working in that way.
Currently in LibreOffice these parameters are set to "-1"

I have created fix for that, and now I'm preparing tests.
Comment 24 Bartosz 2016-07-18 22:44:40 UTC
The problem with user formatting could be divided into two issues:
1. Wrong default xfId value during .xlsx import
2. default applyNumberFormat is calculated property during .xlsx import

For the first issue I have prepared review:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/27198/

I think most of the issues will be solved with that patch.
After apply that fix, users could download latest LibreOffice image, test it and give remarks/examples of documents in which there are still problems.
Comment 25 Bartosz 2016-07-30 00:06:59 UTC
To resolve issue no. 2: "default applyNumberFormat is calculated property during .xlsx import"
we need to enable applyNumberFormat="1" in <cellXfs> always when style is used in <c> (sheet1.xml)

For example:
   <row r="3" s="1" customFormat="1" ht="9.5994" customHeight="1">
            <c r="A3" s="3"/>

means that style number s="3" must have enabled "applyNumberFormat".

Comment 28 Mikeyy - L10n HR 2016-08-19 13:49:02 UTC
Just tested it with latest daily and it's working!
Used few personal files and everything is shown correctly.

Only dates in first XLSX file attached to this bug aren't shown, but dates from my personal files are shown correctly. I wouldn't try to fix that, if I notice new issues I will report in a new bug.

Please try to backport it to 5.2 so we can start using your fix as soon as possible. :)

The new version of LibreOffice was released (5.2.2):
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/

Could you please check how it is working for you?
What else problem are you facing during import/export xlsx documents?

I have some spare time, and I could spend it for some improvements into .xlsx  handling.

Dates not shown from attachment 87778 [details] but shown if re-saved with MSO. 
Sure it would be better if it was also fixed, but since not requested, let Bartosz decide.
Comment 35 Mikeyy - L10n HR 2016-12-06 13:11:56 UTC
Of course Timur, but I didn't want to bug Bartosz further and I couldn't reproduce it on new documents, only on attached one.
If he has time, it would be great if he could fix it.

This last commit for LO 5.2.5, what is it for?
This bug landed in 5.2.3.
