Invalid cell references in conditional formula

Hi,


I have attached the template file. We have found that sheet changes make invalid cell references in conditional formula. We use the following code:

public void checkConditionalFormattingCopying() throws Exception {
Workbook wb = new Workbook(“c:/tmp.xlsx”);
Worksheet sheet = wb.getWorksheets().get(0);

System.out.println("Initial: " + sheet.getConditionalFormattings().get(0).getCellArea(0).toString());

Cells cells = sheet.getCells();
cells.insertRange(CellArea.createCellArea(0, 1, 4, 1), ShiftType.RIGHT);

Range range = cells.createRange(0, 1, 5, 1);
Range source = cells.createRange(0, 0, 5, 1);

PasteOptions options = new PasteOptions();
options.setPasteType(PasteType.ALL);
range.copy(source, options);
wb.save(“c:/out.xlsx”);

System.out.println("Final: " + sheet.getConditionalFormattings().get(0).getCellArea(0).toString());

}

Output looks as follows:
Initial: Aspose.Cells.CellArea(A1:E5)[0,0,4,4]
Final: Aspose.Cells.CellArea(A1:B5)[0,0,4,1]

If you do the same things in MS Excel, conditional formula will be $A$1:$F$5.

1. Open MS Excel and template file
2. Select B1:B5 range and insert cells with shift cells right
3. Select A1:A5 range and copy data, then paste copied data to B1:B5 range
4. Conditional formula will be $A$1:$F$5

Aspose.Cells makes range of conditional formula $A$1:$B$5 instead of correct A$1:$F$5.

Could you scrutinize this issue and fix the problem ASAP?

Thanks.
