Charts which refer other sheets are not displayed

Hi,


I am trying to copy a report worksheet into a separate workbook and then save it as pdf/xlsx.
The steps I followed :

1. workbook.CalculateFormula();

2. workbook.Worksheets[“Report”].Cells.RemoveFormulas();

3. Workbook newworkbook = new Workbook();
newworkbook.Worksheets.Add(“Report”); newworkbook.Worksheets[“Report”].Copy(workbook.Worksheets[“Report”]);
4. newworkbook.Save(fileName, SaveFormat.Pdf); 
The worksheet “Report” in workbook contains charts, some of which has formulas which refer to other sheets in the workbook.
When I save the workbook as Xlsx or pdf I can see the charts correctly. 
But when I copy only the report worksheet to a new workbook after removing the formulas and then save it as pdf/xlsx, the charts which refer to other worksheets are not displayed however other charts which don’t refer to worksheet are displayed properly. 

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your posting and using Aspose.Cells for .NET.

Please download and use the latest version: Aspose.Cells for .NET v7.3.4.3 and see if it makes any difference.

Please also provide us your source xls/xlsx file which you are converting to pdf so that we could look into this issue at our end.

We will investigate it and help you asap.

I could see that after calling ‘worksheet.Cells.RemoveFormulas();’ and adding the worksheet in a new workbook and saving as xlsx, the formulas of all the cells are removed except the chart cells which still refer to a worksheet which doesn’t exist.

I have copied the code I tried.

1. workbook.CalculateFormula();

2. workbook.Worksheets["Report"].Cells.RemoveFormulas();
3. Workbook newworkbook = new Workbook();
newworkbook.Worksheets.Add("Report"); newworkbook.Worksheets["Report"].Copy(workbook.Worksheets["Report"]);
4. newworkbook.Save(fileName, SaveFormat.Pdf); 
The worksheet "Report" in workbook contains charts, some of which has formulas which refer to other sheets in the workbook.
When I save the workbook as Xlsx or pdf I can see the charts correctly.
 
We have also tested it using the latest version as suggested and after that we are getting only an empty chart now. Please see the attached excel we are using. Please give me more information.

Hi Shakeel,


Kindly let me know the status of the issue. Also give me a proposed date by which I can expect the fix, as there is dependency of pdf reports in an important module.

Thanks

Hi,


I am afraid your issue is not resolved yet. I have asked the relevant developer to update on it. It is quite possible that we might share an eta as it does take more time than expected/usual. Once we have any update on it, we will let you know here.

Thank you.

Hi,

Please hide the worksheets except the report sheet as per the thread: e.g.

workbook.Worksheets.ActiveSheetIndex = workbook.Worksheets["Report"].Index;
for (int i = 0; i < workbook.Worksheets.Count; i++)
{
if (i != workbook.Worksheets.ActiveSheetIndex)
workbook.Worksheets[i].IsVisible = false;
}
workbook.Save(@“D:\Filetemp\dest.pdf”);
