Loading XLSM file works in Excel, fails in Aspose Cells with NPE

Aspose.Cells Product Family

Hi,

Using Aspose Cells for Java, version 20.6.

The attached XLSM workbook loads in Excel 2010, but throws the following exception when loaded with Aspose Cells:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at com.aspose.cells.zchv.b(Unknown Source)
	at com.aspose.cells.zchv.a(Unknown Source)
	at com.aspose.cells.VbaProject.e(Unknown Source)
	at com.aspose.cells.ze.w(Unknown Source)
	at com.aspose.cells.ze.a(Unknown Source)
	at com.aspose.cells.zaqk.a(Unknown Source)
	at com.aspose.cells.zjw.a(Unknown Source)
	at com.aspose.cells.zjw.a(Unknown Source)
	at com.aspose.cells.Workbook.a(Unknown Source)
	at com.aspose.cells.Workbook.<init>(Unknown Source)
	at Demo.main(Demo.java:46)

Sample code:

LoadOptions loadOptions = new LoadOptions();
loadOptions.setKeepUnparsedData(false);
loadOptions.setParsingFormulaOnOpen(false);
LoadFilter loadFilter = new LoadFilter(LoadDataFilterOptions.VBA);
loadOptions.setLoadFilter(loadFilter);

Workbook workbook = new Workbook("input.xlsm", loadOptions);
VbaModuleCollection modules = workbook.getVbaProject().getModules();
System.out.println("total modules: " + modules.getCount());

Sample input is attached.

Kind regards,
Taras

@TarasTielkes,
We have observed that while using loadOptions.setKeepUnparsedData(false) raises this exception and when we set it to true, there is no exception. We have logged this issue in our database for further analysis and will write back here once any update is ready to share.

This issue is logged as:

CELLSJAVA-43229 - Exception while loading XLSM file with option setKeepUnparsedData(false)

Hi @ahsaniqbalsidiqui,

Loading the provided file without KeepUnparsedData option does indeed not throw the exception. However, it does not seem to find the VBA modules present in the workbook. So it seems that there is a secondary issue.

Kind regards,
Taras

@TarasTielkes,
Here this line was causing exception, however as this issue is already being analyzed here, therefore spare us little time to complete the analysis and provide our feedback.
