Apryse Spreadsheet Viewer displays #NAME? for cross-sheet Excel formulas while Microsoft Excel renders correctly

Product:Apryse WebViewer Spreadsheet Editor

Product Version:11.12.0

Please give a brief summary of your issue:
Excel formulas display as #NAME? in Apryse Spreadsheet Viewer while the same workbook renders correctly in Microsoft Excel.

Please describe your issue and provide steps to reproduce it:
We observed an issue where several formula cells display #NAME? in the Apryse Spreadsheet Viewer, while the same workbook renders correctly in Microsoft Excel.

The workbook contains multiple worksheets with formulas referencing other sheets (cross-sheet references using functions such as SUMIF, COUNTIF, etc.).

Example formulas:
=SUMIF(‘Market Rate’!$J:$J,$B6,‘Market Rate’!$S:$S)
=COUNTIF(Affordable!$J:$J,$B6)

Observed behavior:

  • Microsoft Excel evaluates and displays the values correctly.

  • Apryse Spreadsheet Viewer displays #NAME? for several cells instead of calculated values.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the Apryse Spreadsheet Editor demo.

  2. Upload the attached workbook.

  3. Navigate to the Summary worksheet.(3rd worksheet)

  4. Observe that multiple cells display #NAME?.

  5. Open the same workbook in Microsoft Excel.

  6. Observe that the values are calculated and displayed correctly.

Please provide a link to a minimal sample where the issue is reproducible:

Expected behavior:
The spreadsheet viewer should evaluate and display the same calculated values as Microsoft Excel.

Actual behavior:
Several cells display #NAME? in Apryse Spreadsheet Viewer.

Additional notes:

  • The issue appears related to formula parsing/evaluation for cross-sheet references.

  • Workbook structure and formulas are intact.

  • The issue is consistently reproducible with the attached workbook.
