[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3434?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Dennis Hamilton updated OFFICE-3434: ------------------------------------ Proposal: TWO CASES: 1. If this is an allowed case of Reference syntax in the persisted form of formulas, specify what its semantics is in the text . 2. If not, please remove the Error rule from the rule for QuotedSheetName. was: TWO CASES: 1. If this is an allowed case of Reference syntax in the persisted form of formulas, specify what its semantics is in the text . 2. If not, please remove the Empty rule from the rule for QuotedSheetName. Typo in the Proposal corrected > ODF 1.2 Part 2, 5.8 References Error as Sheet Name Unclear > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFFICE-3434 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3434 > Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Components: OpenFormula, Part 2 (Formulas) > Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 CD 05 > Reporter: Dennis Hamilton > Priority: Minor > Fix For: ODF 1.2 CD 06 > > > In 5.8:References, the syntax allows Error wherever a QuotedSheetName may appear. There is no other place in Reference syntax where an Error may explicitly appear. > In the text, the only mention of error behavior in the resolution of a reference is for being out of bounds for an implementations row or column limits. > There is no explanation for why a producer would ever put such a value in the recorded form of a Reference, and what a consumer or evaluator should make of it. > I can understand that a specified sheet might not exist and the reference would result in an error in the evaluator, but I don't understand why there would be any change to the reference in its persistent form. > If this is related to the notion that an user entered a formula with an unrecognized sheet name in it, I can understand presenting the formula to an user in a way where the unresolvable sheet name is emphasized in some way. I just don't understand why a producer would make such a substitution if the formula is accepted without correction. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
