Excel Calculations in Sharepoint 2007

N

Nitin

I am experiencing a problem with my team’s new SharePoint 2007 site that I am
hoping someone can speak too.

Basically what is happening is I am receiving an error message when building
‘cross spreadsheet’ calculations for Excel 2007 spreadsheets. For example,
spreadsheet A is running a calculation for spreadsheet B where both are
posted to the same SharePoint 2007 site/document library. When both
documents are physically open, there is no issue, the calculations work and
update as expected. However, when just one is open, the calculations fail
and return a ‘value’ error in the spreadsheet.

What I am doing is holding data in 5 separate spreadsheets while 1 acts as
an ‘audit document’ to pull data from the other 5. When the calculations
were first mapped the ‘path’ was auto built and did not include the full
‘url’ reference to the site/document library. When I go back and open just
the audit document, the ‘short’ reference is gone and a full url reference is
populated (which is expected). However, I still receive an error that is not
fixable. Something that came to mind is that the file reference is not
correct. Typically, when there are spaces between words for a
document/library there is a (%20) that designates the ‘space’ value for the
reference. In the formula the url location does not have this for the 1
space that exists in the document library reference. However, when I hand
build that in, it reverts back to the reference ‘without the %20’.
