Excel Compatibility Bug: IFERROR (and probably other functions)

Beitrag von eekboom »

Create a workbook that contains a cell with this formula:

=IFERROR(A1, 99)

and save as *.xlsx

When I use Excel 2016, then it stores exactly that text ("IFERROR(A1, 99)") in the worksheet (in xl/worksheets/sheet1.xml).
When I use Planmakler 2018 (rev 938.1004), then it stores the text "_XLFN.IFERROR(A1, 99)".

Why? There should be no difference to Excel itself!

There should be no prefix, because Excel only uses "_xlfn" for functions that are not supported in the output file format.
Also if there really is a need for that prefix, then it should be LOWER CASE "_xlfn", bevause that is what Excel uses.

I just wasted almost a day, because an Excel file that was created by our businest analyst did not work when I tried to use it via the Java library Apache POI ... and it was just because I fixed some small bugs in the excel with Planmaker and saved the result.

The issue has been solved and should no longer occur in the next service pack. Note that Excel was perfectly happy with these files; it's just the Java library that was a bit picky. :-)
