Convert Excel to PDF with Aspose.Cells Cloud API is not evaluating formulas correctly

Aspose.Cells Cloud Product Family
1

We are using the cloud cells api at http://api.aspose.com/v1.1/cells/


The attached xlsx file (zip extension added) produces the attached PDF file. Note that #VALUE is displayed in multiple locations in the PDF file. The formulas evaluate correctly in the xlsx file. Note that the formulas depend on values in the B and C columns which are hidden.

We are using the following options:

&isAutoFitRows=true

true
true
false
None
400
95
false
Pdf

Hi,

Thanks for providing us template file and details.

I have tested your scenario/ case using your template Excel file with your specified (xml) options, it works fine and I could not spot the issue with the output PDF file (attached). Could you try it again now.

e.g

Sample code:


string xml = @"

true

true

false

None

400

95

false

Pdf

";

//build URI

string strURI = “http://api.aspose.com/v1.1/cells/Vessel_Position_Report-AM-Report-02-17-2017-CALUSA-COAST.xlsx/saveAs?newfilename=out1pdf.pdf&isAutoFitRows=true”;

//sign URI

string signedURI = Sign(strURI);

POST(signedURI, xml);

//build URI

strURI = “https://api.aspose.com/v1.1/storage/file/out1pdf.pdf”;

signedURI = Sign(strURI);

using (HttpWebResponse response = GET(signedURI))

{

using (var stream = File.Create(@“e:\test2\out1.pdf”))

{

response.GetResponseStream().CopyTo(stream);

}

}

Let us know if you still have this issue.

Thank you.

Thanks. After a little more checking, it looks like this file is actually what was uploaded to http://api.aspose.com/v1.1/storage/file.


Could you check this file as well? In preview it shows the #VALUE!, but as soon as you click Enable Editing, the formulas all calculate correctly.

Hi,


Thanks for the new file.

I again tested your scenario/case using your newly attached file, it still works fine. Please find attached the output PDF file which does not have “#VALUE!” error against the calculated formulas results.

Thank you.

That is strange.

Here is the url to the template file in your system (left off the appSID and signature parameters):
http://api.aspose.com/v1.1/storage/file/Vessel_Position_Report-AM-Report-02-17-2017-CALUSA-COAST_6306542.xlsx

We called the cells api with the configuration described in my first post:
http://api.aspose.com/v1.1/cells/Vessel_Position_Report-AM-Report-02-17-2017-CALUSA-COAST_6306542.xlsx/saveAs?newfilename=Vessel_Position_Report-AM-Report-02-17-2017-CALUSA-COAST_6306542.pdf&isAutoFitRows=true

Here is the url to the resulting pdf in your system, which shows the VALUE! problem:
http://api.aspose.com/v1.1/storage/file/Vessel_Position_Report-AM-Report-02-17-2017-CALUSA-COAST_6306542.pdf

Hi,

Well, that is really strange as I could not reproduce the issue on our end, you may check my attached PDF file(s) for your reference. I guess either you are not specifying CalculateFormula attribute to “true” in your PdfSaveOptions, i.e., (It should be true):


string xml = @"

**true**

true

false

None

400

95

false

Pdf

";

Or you are not signing URI with respect to PdfSaveOptions (xml) while posting, you should sign the URI with respect to PdfSaveOptions, e.g

//sign URI

string signedURI = Sign(strURI);

**POST(signedURI, xml);**

//build URI

strURI = “https://api.aspose.com/v1.1/storage/file/out1pdf.pdf”;

So, could you double check this and let us know your code segment is ok.

Thank you.
