When a formula contains new lines, it is parsed incorrectly as follows: - When it is shared formula it breaks the imported expression and replaces it with #NAME? error. - In normal case it simply preserves the formula string converting it to StringExpression. Workaround: Remove the new lines in the formulas. Have in mind that this code will fix the issue only for the second scenario, when the formula is not shared. CellRange usedCellRange = workbook.ActiveWorksheet.UsedCellRange; for (int row = usedCellRange.FromIndex.RowIndex; row < usedCellRange.ToIndex.RowIndex; row++) { for (int column = usedCellRange.FromIndex.ColumnIndex; column < usedCellRange.ToIndex.ColumnIndex; column++) { CellSelection cell = workbook.ActiveWorksheet.Cells[row, column]; ICellValue value = cell.GetValue().Value; if (value.RawValue.Contains("\n")) { cell.SetValue(value.RawValue.Replace('\n', ' ')); } } }
