Aspose.Cells ISOWEEKNUM calculation is not same as Microsoft Excel

Aspose.Cells Product Family
#1

Team,

We are using Aspose.Cells java library (licensed) to refresh excel templates.
While using the library we found a discrepancy between formula evaluation by Microsoft Excel and Aspose.Cells.
Formula evaluated was ISOWEEKNUM and below are the details for the same.

=ISOWEEKNUM(J7+1) where J7 holds the value 2019-01-06 (Date with custom format YYYY-MM-DD)

On refreshing the excel template with above formula programmatically via Aspose.cells java library output is 1 but the same if done manually in Microsoft excel output is 2.

Can you please help in this regard ASAP, as this is affecting our internal customers.
Please let me know if there are more details required.

Thanks
Deepanshu

We have a large codebase which we can’t be shared but below is the small snippet used to refresh excel.

import com.aspose.cells.Workbook;
Workbook excelTemplateWithData = new Workbook(excelFileName);
excelTemplateWithData.calculateFormula(true);

Attached sample.xlsx where Cell A1 in Sheet 1 contains the date and cell A2 required formula (ISOWEEKNUM(A1+1))

@Deepanshu2792,

Thanks for the template file.

After an initial test, I am able to observe the issue as you mentioned by using the following sample code with your template file. I found that result of the formula/function “ISOWEEKNUM” is not the same as per MS Excel:
e.g
Sample code:

Workbook excelTemplateWithData = new Workbook("f:\\files\\sample.xlsx");
excelTemplateWithData.calculateFormula();

 System.out.println(excelTemplateWithData.getWorksheets().get(0).getCells().get("A2").getStringValue());//1 , it should be 2
