Description stuart.jagger99 2014-11-06 23:31:37 UTC
select 210 rows of a single column (f) the cells actually contained the trim function e.g cell f1 contains 
=trim(e1)
then i tried to split by selecting  'space'separator the module crashed with 'an unexpected error' message. and the recovery process started.

the data in cell e1 looked like " 23 45 56 76 "
and in  E2 "98 54 65 21"
I needed to have 23 AND 98 in column f,and  45 AND 54 in column g.

Comment 8 Markus Mohrhard 2014-12-07 09:01:11 UTC
The problem here is the use of ScDocumentImport outside of the import code. I have an idea for a possible fix.

Comment 19 Julien Nabet 2015-09-17 18:34:56 UTC
Eike: I don't reproduce the crash neither for this one, nor for tdf#94168
But tdf#94168 gives strange results:
Initial state : A1 empty, A2, A3, ... A30 equal "=1"
If I select column A, then "text to columns", select column in Dialog then Text (instead of Standard), A1 until A29 contain 1 in text format, A30 contain 1 in number format.
Side effect of the fix or should I open a new bugtracker?
Comment 20 Eike Rathke 2015-09-17 19:37:20 UTC
@Julien:
That's something different. It's not even necessarily a bug, you get what you ask for ;-) Note that if you select the entire column (or A1:A30 for that matter) insertion of data starts at the top left selected cell, here A1. But data starts at A2. What effectively happens is the data from A2:A30 overwrites A1:A29 and A30 stays untouched. Note that with the original description of bug 94168 it is not a number 1 but a formula =1 and that is left intact.

It is debatable whether leading blank cells should be included in the transformation or not. Maybe they should.
Comment 21 Julien Nabet 2015-09-17 19:39:04 UTC
