Description Daniel Rentz 2015-09-09 08:45:04 UTC
Calc does not allow to use names that look like R1C1 references which is good.

But other names that should work will not be allowed either, e.g. "r1abcdef" or "r2d2".

Hi Daniel,

Confirmed - thanks for filing!
Leaving this as 'bug' - could argue for 'enhancement' too, but .. ;)

Problem is in ScRangeData::IsNameValid

The code has been changed as part of https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=87171

Any change here needs to add a number of tests making sure that we are not introducing regressions for that bug again.

Looks as if https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=87171#c16 comes with some info/start for that.
