Git commit bf24c4e8ef4d503ae7d12aeaeaf28d83b3d1287a by Marijn Kruisselbrink.
Committed on 20/12/2011 at 23:57.
Pushed by mkruisselbrink into branch 'master'.

handle intersection operators better, there are probably still some cases that are not fully correct, but this at least improves things a lot
CCBUG: 244414
This doesn't solve the bug completely yet, since calligra-tables doesn't support the intersection operator, but it at least the odf generated by the xlsx filter now has the correct formula

Comment 2 Marijn Kruisselbrink 2011-12-20 23:12:06 UTC
So the remaining problem in this bug is that calligra doesn't support the intersection operator as defined in odf yet. This is unfortunately a bit hard to solve, since ! (the character used for intersection operator) already has a different meaning in calligra, it is used to separate sheet name and cell range in references like Sheet2!C5 (odf and openoffice show such a formula as Sheet2.C5 instead).
So to properly fix this, I think we should go the same way as openoffice, and use ! just as intersection operator, and use . instead for the 3D references. (the other option would be of course to do what ms office does, and use ! as we do now, and interpret whitespace between references to mean the intersection operator).
Comment 3 Marijn Kruisselbrink 2011-12-20 23:13:59 UTC
(doing it the ms office way would probably be the least invasive/easiest to do actually, on save/load we would of course convert to/from odf format, just like we're doing now already anyway).
