APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • When the Unstructured Data stage loading an Excel file, which
    has a work sheet with an embedded chart, it wrongly regards the
    embedded chart as a standalone work sheet, and it returns
    incorrect cell values.
    

Local fix

  • Save the xls file to xlsx, or move the sheet to load before the
    sheet with chart.
    

Problem summary

  • Unstructured Data stage returns incorrect cell values when
    reading a Microsoft Excel file (.xls) containing an embedded
    chart.
    

Problem conclusion

  • An original code wrongly regards the embedded chart as a
    stand-alone work sheet. As a result, the state mismatch
    sometimes occurred when reading an Excel file, which contained
    embedded chart(s). By applying this patch, the problem is fixed
    and read an Excel file even if it contains embedded chart(s).
    

Temporary fix
