Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2013-04-15 20:31:11 UTC

With have a NAME_v2 record with flags 0x11 specifying a (hidden)
array formula and end up hitting this FIXME:

		texpr = excel_parse_formula (&importer->container, NULL, 0, 0,
					     expr_data, expr_len, 0 /* FIXME? */,
					     TRUE, NULL);

That FIXME is the length of array data.

Comment 3 Morten Welinder 2013-04-16 00:09:26 UTC

Correction: it's a NAME_v0 record.

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
