CellsException due to line break inside cell spanning multiple rows

Aspose.Cells Product Family
#1

While using Aspose.Cells to convert HTML to XLSX, the constructor of class Workbook threw the following exception:

An unhandled exception of type ‘Aspose.Cells.CellsException’ occurred in Aspose.Cells.dll

Additional information: Cells in range A2:A3 cannot be merged because cells in range A1:A2 have already been merged.
My original HTML input was quite big, but I managed to narrow it down to this:

Test




One
Two




The problem does not occur if you make any of the following changes:
  1. Replace
    by
    (i.e. put a space in front of the slash).
  2. Remove the rowspan (or make it 1).
  3. Remove the surrounding
    .The first workaround works for me, so nothing urgent here. But I still consider this to be a bug.

Thanks for the fast fix; sorry I didn’t have time to test it earlier. The fix is a big improvement for cells with a rowspan, but I just discovered another (possibly related) problem with cells without a rowspan (or rowspan = 1). I don’t think this problem was introduced by aforementioned bugfix; I can reproduce the same problem in an earlier version (16.11.0). I cannot reproduce the problem in 8.9.0, though, so I suppose it was introduced earlier this year.

Anyway, I figured you’d like me to make a separate post for it:

Hi Ruud,


First of all, thank you for creating a new thread for the new issues. It is always appropriate to create new threads for distinct inquires for easy management of the requests. Anyway, we have evaluated the cases in your new thread and have logged tickets against distinct problems. We will soon further analyze those scenarios and share our feedback on the relevant thread.
