If Spreadsheet's history is not enabled, merged cells cannot be unmerged. 

Workaround: Enable the History before calling Unmerge():

workbook.History.IsEnabled = true;
worksheet.Cells[0, 0, 0, 4].Unmerge();
workbook.History.IsEnabled = false;

The COUNT function counts the number of cells which contain numbers.

Description from Microsoft here: https://support.office.com/en-US/article/COUNT-function-A59CD7FC-B623-4D93-87A4-D23BF411294C.

Workaround: Implement such a custom function. See Custom Functions help article here: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/libraries/radspreadprocessing/features/formulas/custom-functions .

The data validation is working. However, the text can't be localized by MS Excel with installed non-English language pack after import/export with SpreadProcessing. The problem is caused by an interpretation of the data validation rule as a text instead of as a formula.

When calling AutoFitWidth on single cell selections there is no issue. However, calling it on a multi-column selection the document is corrupted and repair error message is shown when opening it in Excel.

Workaround: The AutoFitWidth method may be called for each column separately. 

Allow the customers to work with Shape objects.

CellSelection.SetValue method causes memory leak of CellReferenceRangeExpression objects in some cases when cell value is referenced by formulas. The memory leak is small, but the remaining CellReferenceRangeExpression continue to listen to some events, causing performance issues when their number become large - the time to set the value increases with each set.

Xlsx documents with global print area defined cannot be imported. Message box "The name that you entered is not valid." is shown and internally SpreadsheetNameException is thrown. 
By default, print areas are defined in the xlsx files for specific spreadsheet:
<definedName name="_xlnm.Print_Area" localSheetId="0">Sheet1!$A$1</definedName>
but this one is without localSheetId property specified.

MS Excel can import such document and even preserve the area, but do not respect it and doesn't have UI to clear it.

By OOXML specification, this attribute is optional:
<xsd:attribute name="localSheetId" type="xsd:unsignedInt" use="optional"/>

Workaround 1 (includes processing the document with MS Excel):
- Open the document in MS Excel
- Choose Formulas -> Defined names -> Named Manager
- Choose Filter -> Names with errors
- Find all Print_Area defined names and delete them
- Save the document

Workaround 2:
- Delete all print areas with OpenXML SDK

ArgumentException with clarification similar to  "'\u001f', hexadecimal value 0x1F, is an invalid character." is thrown when trying to export document containing characters which are not supported in XML document - such as some control characters like 0x00, 0x1F, 0x1B, etc. Such characters are described in the XML specification here: https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#charsets.

Although the escaped strings are not supported (see  https://feedback.telerik.com/Project/184/Feedback/Details/190228 ), the library could prevent the exception and export the document successfully by skipping such characters.

Workaround: remove such characters before the export. Check the following StackOverflow answer for some ideas on code for replacing the characters: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14323524/259206

Fix available in R3 2018 SP1 release.

For example, if a user wants to set a 5x5 array of values in the worksheet he has to iterate through all the values one by one and set it to the worksheet. With that API the user should be able to set the entire array with just one method call giving it the array.

The way the RadSpreadProcessing decides if a row should be exported works slow. It iterates through all the rows in the UsedCellRange and checks if some property is set and if not, checks if some cell is set. This is slow because each row is checked one by one.

The item is closed as duplicated of https://feedback.telerik.com/Project/184/Feedback/Details/190065-spreadprocessing-implement-right-to-left-direction.

Add support for preserving and exporting the macros in a macro-enabled workbook.

Macros are pieces of code written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) which are used to automate repetitive tasks in excel. The macros are part of the excel file. When a file contains a macro its extension becomes xlsm.

SpreadProcessing should be able to import and export xlsm files and edit the macros in them.

When there is a defined name referring many cells with long values, the Value of the defined name is string which does not contains the values of all the referred cells and ends with "...".

Formulas like =0.0001/10 or formulas that produce small values results in 0 instead of exponential numbers.

The exception is thrown when importing a document that contains an empty stylesheet tag in its styles.xml part.

Define name which we can import looks like this:

<definedName name="Test">Sheet1!$A$1</definedName>

The case which can not be handled by RadSpreadProcessing looks like this:

<definedName name="Test"><![CDATA[Sheet1!$A$1]]></definedName>

The CDATA element is used to escape the inner text in order not to be parsed as XML. That means this is а valid case, and RadSpreadProcessing should handle it.

Add support for the AVERAGEIF function:  https://support.office.com/en-us/article/AVERAGEIF-function-faec8e2e-0dec-4308-af69-f5576d8ac642

Returns the average (arithmetic mean) of all the cells in a range that meet a given criteria:

AVERAGEIF(range, criteria, [average_range])


Workaround: This could be implemented as a custom function: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/libraries/radspreadprocessing/features/formulas/custom-functions.html

If shape extent is declared, the two cell anchor points for the drawing element are ignored. For example if the TwoCellAnchorElement's from and two points declare that the image should be anchored starting from cell A1to F10 and further in the drawing declaration there is defined extents element with image size values, anchor element's points are ignored. 

Add API for registering custom image decoders, e.g. for .emf and .wmf images.

Add support for the SUBTOTAL function: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/SUBTOTAL-function-7b027003-f060-4ade-9040-e478765b9939

It computes the subtotal for some ranges, given the code for the subtotal function:

SUBTOTAL(function_num,ref1,[ref2],...)

where function_num is code referring to some of the functions: AVERAGE, COUNT, COUNTA, MAX, MIN, PRODUCT, STDEV, STDEVP, SUM, VAR, VARP.

Note that we should implement the support for all of the above functions. As of now, COUNTA, VAR, VARP are not supported.

Workaround: This could be implemented as a custom function: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/document-processing/libraries/radspreadprocessing/features/formulas/custom-functions.html , but multiple functions (4 as of now) has to be additionally implemented.
