I ran across a strange problem on Friday. I have a workbook that has a sheet with 5 hidden columns. These columns are all formatted as standard currency with 0 decimal positions.
When aspose reads the data it reads the value correctly, but the StringValue is wrong.
ex. Value 204.45 Excel Display: $204 StringValue from Aspose: -409204
When I inspected the Cell information, it has a custom format as follows:
@"[$$-409]#,##0;[$$-409]-#,##0"
Where is this custom format coming from? It displays correctly in Excel. Is Aspose not reading it correctly, or is it not interpretting the formatting correctly?
I have temporarily found a way around this problem, I clear the custom format before reading the value, but this shouldn’t be the case.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Dollar Formatting in Hidden Columns
Could you please post your file here? I checked but didn’t find this problem. Thanks.
The underyling custom format for the cell is [$$-409]#,##0, which Excel displays properly. Aspose doesn’t seem to interpret the formating properly.
