Excel 2016 August Update

After the August Excel Update (i have an office 365 subscription) some of the templates i use get corrupted (can't be opened in Excel) after opening and saving with Flexcel 6.14.


The same files saved with Excel before the update work perfectly but once they are saved with the latest version (Version 1707 Build 8326.2096 Click-to-Run) i cant use them with flexcel. The error i get from Excel and an XML tool when i try to open them is:
Namespace prefix xr2 for uid on sparklineGroup is not defined

It seems like some schema changed and it is no longer compatible with what flexcel is doing, here are the worksheet sections in the xml for the worksheets (saved in Excel) that have problems

Before update:
<worksheet xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main" xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="x14ac" xmlns:x14ac="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/spreadsheetml/2009/9/ac">

After update:
<worksheet xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main" xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" mc:Ignorable="x14ac xr xr2 xr3" xmlns:x14ac="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/spreadsheetml/2009/9/ac" xmlns:xr="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/spreadsheetml/2014/revision" xmlns:xr2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/spreadsheetml/2015/revision2" xmlns:xr3="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/spreadsheetml/2016/revision3" xr:uid="{00000000-0001-0000-0A00-000000000000}">

Hi,

Yes, this is a known issue for FlexCel VCL and it has been fixed internally in 6.17. We are aiming for a release next monday, but there is stuff still keeping us delayed. 6.17 is kind of a huge release, and there are still some things that need reviewing before we can publish it.

by the way, if you want to make sure your files are fixed before the release, you can send me some example templates which have the error when opened and saved with FlexCel to adrian@tmssoftware.com. I can manually verify that they are working well in 6.17 before making the release.

Hi,
6.17 is out, it should have this issue fixed.
