Dear TMS
I'm using TMSFNCSpreadGrid to simplify a series of calculations within my application, but loading the CSV spreadsheet produces a circular reference error which does not exist in MS Excel. I entered the formulas into the aspgdemo to ensure that there's no inconsistency with Excel, but have come up against the same error. Is there a known issue with the calculation engine in TMSFNCSpreadGrid?
Best wishes

Can you please provide more details?
Without knowing what is in your CSV file, I cannot guess what is causing this circular reference error.
The error can be reproduced by dropping a TMSFNCSpreadGrid component on a form. Enter the following formulas in the spreadgrid after compiling:
- A1 -> =97
- A2 -> =A1*60/1000
- A8 -> =10
- A9 -> =A8*60/1000
- C9 -> = A9
- C1 -> =A2 + C9
C1 then only displays the formula "=A9" rather than the answer which is "6.42".
Thank you very much for your kind help.
I have retested this here and I cannot see a problem. Do you use the latest version of TMS FNC UI Pack?
Thank you very much for the feedback.
Oddly, I can reproduce the behaviour consistently. I'm using the most recent version of TMS FNC UI Pack and Lazarus v2.0.2. I found a workaround though. Calling Recalc after loading the CSV corrects the problem.
