Excel TREND() function not able to calculate using CalculateFormula()

Hi Aspose Team,

In our excel, we have TREND() function as below:

=TREND($A$2:$A$8,($B$2:$B$8)^{1,2,3},B2^{1,2,3});


It seems like Aspose can not calculate this formula in excel, so we made a transformation to make this formula simple, like below:

=TREND($A$2:$A$8,$B$2:$D$8,$B$2:$D$2)

but still failed to get the value from formula above.

Could you give me any suggestions on how to handle such issue? I attached the sample file here.

Thanks,


Hi,

Thanks for your posting and using Aspose.Cells.

We have tested this issue with the following sample code using your source excel file with the latest version: Aspose.Cells for Java 8.5.0. Microsoft Excel calculates the value of Trend function as 10.77266841 while Aspose.Cells calculates it as 16.53564699.

We have logged this issue in our database for investigation. We will look into it and fix this issue. Once the issue is resolved or we have some other update for you, we will let you know asap.

This issue has been logged as

  • CELLSJAVA-41388 - Excel TREND function not able to calculate using CalculateFormula

I have attached the output pdf file generated by this code for a reference.

Java

String filePath = “F:\Shak-Data-RW\Downloads\aspose_sample_updated.xlsx”;


Workbook workbook = new Workbook(filePath);

workbook.calculateFormula();


PdfSaveOptions opts = new PdfSaveOptions();

opts.setOnePagePerSheet(true);


workbook.save(filePath + “.out.pdf”, opts);

thanks so much. We do see the same issuer here. Looking forward the new release!

Hi,


Thank you for the confirmation.

Please note, the ticket attached to this thread is currently pending for analysis and is in the queue with other priority tasks. Please allow us some time for thorough analysis, and to get back to you with updates in this regard.

I found the reason why Aspose calculate the different answer, because this version do not support array parameter well for TREND() function:

1. In my formula, it take cubic order sequence array as parameter:

=TREND($A$2:$A$8,($B$2:$B$8)^{1,2,3},B2^{1,2,3});

=TREND($A$2:$A$8,$B$2:$D$8,$B$2:$D$2)

the result should return 10.772


2. In Aspose calculation engine, it only calculate the one order sequence array:

=TREND(A2:A8,B2:B8,B2) this value is 16.535


I have attached sample in the file. It may help you to solve the issue.

Thanks and looking forward your reply!

Please spare us couple of weeks before we could investigate and fix this issue. Hopefully your issue will be fixed in this time span. Once, we will have some update for you, we will let you know asap.

Hi Faiz,

I think couple of weeks is too long for us. Our company has long relationship with ASPOSE (JP Morgan Chase) and we urgent need this to be release to our product. so could it possible to reduce the time span and accelerate the process?

Looking forward your reply!
