Hi, when setting a link to an external spreadsheet with a macro, the values returned aren't immediately taken into account. This causes any attempt to VLOOKUP() the linked values to fail. The linked values are only taken into account after saving and reopening the spreadsheet. Tested under LO Version: 5.0.1.2 Build ID: 81898c9f5c0d43f3473ba111d7b351050be20261 Locale : fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8) This was functioning correctly until v.4.3.7 and is buggy from the next version onwards, as some have reported on the FR libreoffice users mailing list. I attach 2 files that help understand the problem: the user creates daily documents with data carried forward from day1 to day2 and so on. This is done using a macro, called from a button click. day1.ods is the original data. The data to be carried forward is in the 'to carry' sheet. day2.ods has the same structure + the macro that demonstrates the problem. Clicking the 'Carry forward' button on the 'work' sheet causes a link to be established with the day1.ods document, 'to carry' sheet. This feeds the day2.ods 'carried' sheet. This is obtained with the ChargerReports() sub. A workaround is to create a supplemental dummy sheet in the target (say 'carried2') where cells get their values from the 'carried' sheet. These 'carried2' values can be searched or used immediately. This adds complexity to the spreadsheet, though, and causes a noticeable overhead when the source data is big. Note that deleting the link or not has no influence on the faulty behaviour.

I unfortunately mixed both versions I'm currently working with on different platforms and computers.

Bibisected on Ubuntu 14.04 with 42max. It had some launch crashes, so I had to skip several times. Fortunately it is a max repository, so has a very fine-grained group of commits. I checked the "suspected bad commits" and this is what I found: Kohei's big change: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=7333881bb7b04f7e4e2a28638024ae82a9c14e81 Formula tokens, formula cells and formula interpreters to use shared strings. Kohei's related change committed at the same time: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b3e35aa551fa8abc0215a0ef416fc9acbbc3c0d9 Fix VLOOKUP calculation when the matching value is literal string. There was also this commit related to Calc external document references: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=d58d1719a49c5c25cce8ddfa7fef52b09d0f9957 Unused ScExternalRefCache::mrStrPool Maybe the last one is improbably, but I thought I would mention it.
