Hi
How can I check (using VBA) if a cell has some metadata associated (as described he http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd953161.aspx). I ask because I have an xlsx file with data that when opened in Excel 2007 shows values only. But when I save the same file in xls format and open it in Excel 2003 it displays value in the cell but in formula box Excel shows _xlfn.COMPOUNDVALUE(20) for instance. Thanks IgorM |

Curious!
"2.2.4 Metadata Metadata is additional data associated with a particular cell or its content. Metadata is recorded in BIFF8 for future extensibility purpose only." I haven't come across this but I assume the way to check in VBA is by examining the formula you can see in the input bar. I can't test but try this - Function HasMetadata(rCell As Range) As Boolean With rCell If .HasFormula Then ' case sensitive HasMetadata = Left$(.Formula, 20) = "=_xlfn.COMPOUNDVALUE" End If End With End Function I'd be interested to see the relevant 2007 XML Regards, Peter T "IgorM" wrote in message ...

The issue with the given code is that in Excel 2007 (where I want to examine
the cell for metadata) there is no cell formula - just value. The formula is only visible under Excel prior to 2007. I thought there is some extra cell parameter that can be checked if the cell has some metadata. The xml for the file for cells with the metadata is: </c - <c r="F16" s="190" vm="20" <v12842.655189999999</v </c So there is an extra vm parameter for these cells.

I don't know if you can! It appears that 2007 is using features that 2003 doesn't recognize. 2007 should remove these features when saving as a 2003 workbook but isn't removing these features. some metadata 2003 will recognize and some it won't. I would make sure I have the latest updtes to 2007 since this may be a bug that has been fixed. I just checked on teh web and found this site http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...778231033.aspx It says there is a compatibility checker built into 2007. the is a VBA instruction to automatically turn on the compatibility checker.

Thanks for response.
I'm aware of the compatibility checker. The problem is that these cell have none of the properties that could cause problem in Excel versions prior 2007 according to the compatibility checker. These values were copied and pastes as values only from a different workbook. Some of the source cells had cube values but some other were plain sums of cells (including cells that use cube formulas). Despite copying and pasting as values only majority of the cells were copied just fine but some (still can't figure out any differences between those copied correctly and incorrectly) were copied, as what seems in Excel 2007, values only but there must be some metadata in these cells that is not recognizable in Excel versions prior 2007. Compatibility checker doesn't see any issues in these cells. Użytkownik "joel" napisał w wiadomości grup ... I don't know if you can!

I misunderstood, I thought you were looking for metadata in Excel 2003.
I tried to create a file with metadata in a cell as per your sample. After editing the xml in Notepad and recreating the xlsx it wouldn't open in 2007, at least not until after allowing Excel to repair it, then the edited changes were removed. Maybe the xml needs a bit more.

Just to make it clear. All I want to do is to check in Excel 2007 if a

Even if you do not have access to 2003 you can still open a 2003 xls file in
2007. I was expecting you to post the xml for a sheet with only a single cell containing your metadata. In other words with so I could reproduce it. I did manage to create a sheet with your posted large xml. Had some problems though, first Excel complained that | is an illegal character, so I replaced all those with #.. Finally a large sheet opened, mainly with links to other workbooks, sheets and named ranges. So mainly I got a sheet full of #REF! errors. I converted the file to Excel 2003 format, but I couldn't find any of the metadata examples you describe below. BUT - the cell information described below does not relate to the large xml you posted. Eg, cell S53 in the xml has the value 159.1, not 0.57 as you say below. If you want to post a single cell example of metadata I will look into ways of identifying it.

You are right about the xml file. I had to mistakenly take incorrect sheet.
You are also right about opening the xls file in Excel 2007, but if you do so it seems that Excel 2007 treats the cell differently and the formula box has no formula in it - the cell seems to be value only. If we open the same file in Excel 2003 for instance, the cell has the same value but in formula it displays the compound formula. Below is an XML structure for one sheet with this kind of cell (A1): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ? - <worksheet xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main" xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships" - <sheetPr <pageSetUpPr fitToPage="1" / </sheetPr <dimension ref="A1" / - <sheetViews <sheetView showGridLines="0" tabSelected="1" zoomScale="70" zoomScaleNormal="70" workbookViewId="0" / </sheetViews <sheetFormatPr defaultRowHeight="12.75" / - <cols <col min="1" max="1" width="17.28515625" customWidth="1" / </cols - <sheetData - <row r="1" spans="1:1" ht="17.100000000000001" customHeight="1" - <c r="A1" vm="1" <v0.56999999999999995</v </c </row </sheetData <printOptions horizontalCentered="1" / <pageMargins left="0.19685039370078741" right="0" top="0.19685039370078741" bottom="0.19685039370078741" header="0.31496062992125984" footer="0" / <pageSetup paperSize="9" fitToHeight="2" orientation="landscape" horizontalDpi="4294967294" r:id="rId1" / - <headerFooter alignWithMargins="0" <oddFooter&L&"Arial CE,Kursywa"&D&C&"Arial CE,Kursywa"&F</oddFooter </headerFooter </worksheet What I also noticed the xl folder for the workbook contains a metadata.xml file of this content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ? - <metadata xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main" - <metadataTypes count="1" <metadataType name="XLMDX" minSupportedVersion="120000" copy="1" pasteAll="1" pasteValues="1" merge="1" splitFirst="1" rowColShift="1" clearFormats="1" clearComments="1" assign="1" coerce="1" / </metadataTypes - <metadataStrings count="5" <s v="rachunek_zyskow_i_strat" / <s v="{[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 1],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 2],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 3],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 4],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 5],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 6],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 7],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 8],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 9]}" / <s v="[Measures].[Suma Kwota PLN]" / <s v="[Rodzaj kosztu].[Wszystkie].[300].[USŁUGI / MATERIAŁY WEWNĘTRZNE].[304]" / <s v="[Jednostka odpowiedzal].[Wszystkie].[Produkcja warzyw].[Irrigation]" / </metadataStrings - <mdxMetadata count="1" - <mdx n="0" f="v" - <t c="4" <n x="1" s="1" / <n x="2" / <n x="3" / <n x="4" / </t </mdx </mdxMetadata - <valueMetadata count="1" - <bk <rc t="1" v="0" / </bk </valueMetadata </metadata Hope it helps.

I added the two xml files but when opened in Excel it was all rejected. If
you want to send a file off-line it'd be easier, but please the smallest file possible and with no links. I suppose if you only need to know if the file contains metadata, unzip the xlsx and look for "metadata.xml" in the xl folder. Depending on the tools available to you that might be quite simple.

I had to mistakenly take incorrect sheet. You are also right about opening the xls file in Excel 2007, but if you do so it seems that Excel 2007 treats the cell differently and the formula box has no formula in it - the cell seems to be value only. If we open the same file in Excel 2003 for instance, the cell has the same value but in formula it displays the compound formula. Below is an XML structure for one sheet with this kind of cell (A1): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ? - <worksheet xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main" xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships" - <sheetPr <pageSetUpPr fitToPage="1" / </sheetPr <dimension ref="A1" / - <sheetViews <sheetView showGridLines="0" tabSelected="1" zoomScale="70" zoomScaleNormal="70" workbookViewId="0" / </sheetViews <sheetFormatPr defaultRowHeight="12.75" / - <cols <col min="1" max="1" width="17.28515625" customWidth="1" / </cols - <sheetData - <row r="1" spans="1:1" ht="17.100000000000001" customHeight="1" - <c r="A1" vm="1" <v0.56999999999999995</v </c </row </sheetData <printOptions horizontalCentered="1" / <pageMargins left="0.19685039370078741" right="0" top="0.19685039370078741" bottom="0.19685039370078741" header="0.31496062992125984" footer="0" / <pageSetup paperSize="9" fitToHeight="2" orientation="landscape" horizontalDpi="4294967294" r:id="rId1" / - <headerFooter alignWithMargins="0" <oddFooter&L&"Arial CE,Kursywa"&D&C&"Arial CE,Kursywa"&F</oddFooter </headerFooter </worksheet What I also noticed the xl folder for the workbook contains a metadata.xml file of this content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ? - <metadata xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main" - <metadataTypes count="1" <metadataType name="XLMDX" minSupportedVersion="120000" copy="1" pasteAll="1" pasteValues="1" merge="1" splitFirst="1" rowColShift="1" clearFormats="1" clearComments="1" assign="1" coerce="1" / </metadataTypes - <metadataStrings count="5" <s v="rachunek_zyskow_i_strat" / <s v="{[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 1],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 2],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 3],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 4],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 5],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 6],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 7],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 8],[Rok finansowy].[Wszystkie].[2009].[ 9]}" / <s v="[Measures].[Suma Kwota PLN]" / <s v="[Rodzaj kosztu].[Wszystkie].[300].[USŁUGI / MATERIAŁY WEWNĘTRZNE].[304]" / <s v="[Jednostka odpowiedzal].[Wszystkie].[Produkcja warzyw].[Irrigation]" / </metadataStrings - <mdxMetadata count="1" - <mdx n="0" f="v" - <t c="4" <n x="1" s="1" / <n x="2" / <n x="3" / <n x="4" / </t </mdx </mdxMetadata - <valueMetadata count="1" - <bk <rc t="1" v="0" / </bk </valueMetadata </metadata Hope it helps.

I was expecting you to post the xml for a sheet with only a single cell containing your metadata. In other words with so I could reproduce it. I did manage to create a sheet with your posted large xml. Had some problems though, first Excel complained that | is an illegal character, so I replaced all those with #.. Finally a large sheet opened, mainly with links to other workbooks, sheets and named ranges. So mainly I got a sheet full of #REF! errors. I converted the file to Excel 2003 format, but I couldn't find any of the metadata examples you describe below. BUT - the cell information described below does not relate to the large xml you posted. Eg, cell S53 in the xml has the value 159.1, not 0.57 as you say below. If you want to post a single cell example of metadata I will look into ways of identifying it. Regards, Peter T "IgorM" wrote in message ... Just to make it clear. All I want to do is to check in Excel 2007 if a certain cells contains metadata - in xlsx file. I do not normally have access to older version of Excel and it is only in versions prior 2007 that some cells show '_xln.compoundvalue' in formula instead of value. Cells that show this function are (headings of the table below aWorksheetName, WorksheetCodeName, Cell.Address, Cell.Formula, Cell.Value): Irrigation Arkusz40 $S$53 =_xlfn.COMPOUNDVALUE(94) 0,57 Irrigation Arkusz40 $S$61 =_xlfn.COMPOUNDVALUE(95) 19,6873111111111 Irrigation Arkusz40 $S$62 =_xlfn.COMPOUNDVALUE(96) 61,53111111111 Irrigation Arkusz40 $S$70 =_xlfn.COMPOUNDVALUE(97) 30,9298888888889 Irrigation Arkusz40 $S$72 =_xlfn.COMPOUNDVALUE(98) 0,2944 Irrigation Arkusz40 $S$82 =_xlfn.COMPOUNDVALUE(99) 14,9157 Irrigation Arkusz40 $S$84 =_xlfn.COMPOUNDVALUE(99) 2,833983 Irrigation Arkusz40 $S$107 =_xlfn.COMPOUNDVALUE(100) 164,52998 Irrigation Arkusz40 $S$108 =_xlfn.COMPOUNDVALUE(100) 164,52998 I will split the XML into two posts.

I tried to create a file with metadata in a cell as per your sample. After editing the xml in Notepad and recreating the xlsx it wouldn't open in 2007, at least not until after allowing Excel to repair it, then the edited changes were removed. Maybe the xml needs a bit more. Could you post the entire xml of a sheet with just one cell (say F16), eg like this but with the metadata <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ? - <worksheet xmlns="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/spreadsheetml/2006/main" xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships" <dimension ref="F16" / - <sheetViews - <sheetView tabSelected="1" workbookViewId="0" <selection activeCell="F16" sqref="F16" / </sheetView </sheetViews <sheetFormatPr defaultRowHeight="15" / - <sheetData - <row r="16" spans="6:6" - <c r="F16" <v12842.655189999899</v </c </row </sheetData <pageMargins left="0.7" right="0.7" top="0.75" bottom="0.75" header="0.3" footer="0.3" / </worksheet (this is pasted after opening in IE, don't worry about the extraneous dashes, I'll remove those) First I changed <c r="F16" to <c r="F16" s="190" vm="20" then to <c r="F16" vm="20" both got 'repaired' The other question of course is how did that metadata get in there in the first place! Regards, Peter T "IgorM" wrote in message ... The issue with the given code is that in Excel 2007 (where I want to examine the cell for metadata) there is no cell formula - just value. The formula is only visible under Excel prior to 2007. I thought there is some extra cell parameter that can be checked if the cell has some metadata. The xml for the file for cells with the metadata is: </c - <c r="F16" s="190" vm="20" <v12842.655189999999</v </c So there is an extra vm parameter for these cells. Kind regards IgorM "Peter T" <peter_t@discussions wrote in message ... Curious! "2.2.4 Metadata Metadata is additional data associated with a particular cell or its content. Metadata is recorded in BIFF8 for future extensibility purpose only." I haven't come across this but I assume the way to check in VBA is by examining the formula you can see in the input bar. I can't test but try this - Function HasMetadata(rCell As Range) As Boolean With rCell If .HasFormula Then ' case sensitive HasMetadata = Left$(.Formula, 20) = "=_xlfn.COMPOUNDVALUE" End If End With End Function I'd be interested to see the relevant 2007 XML Regards, Peter T "IgorM" wrote in message ... Hi How can I check (using VBA) if a cell has some metadata associated (as described he http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd953161.aspx). I ask because I have an xlsx file with data that when opened in Excel 2007 shows values only. But when I save the same file in xls format and open it in Excel 2003 it displays value in the cell but in formula box Excel shows _xlfn.COMPOUNDVALUE(20) for instance. Thanks IgorM |
