BlackBerry® PlayBook 2.0 Insider Event with Michael Clewley

Spreadsheet to go in 2.0 dosnt support formulas that 1.08 did. Any updates expected.

Thanks for the question, OS 2.0 should support more than what's in 1.0.x.  If you have a specific example let me know.

Linking fields in a different spreadsheet. In the same work book. Even “=+a1“ dosnt work. They display "value"

[mclewley]

Having a discussion with the teams and this is what I got back

This works correctly for things like:

=Sheet1!A5
=Sheet1!A5 + Sheet3!A4
Etc.

Things like '=+A50' work too, provided the target in A50 is actually a number that can be added (if A50 has text, the VALUE error would show).

Do you have a sample of your worksheet?

[karaokemag]

Fields are text, excel formats the formula,

"=+'sheet2'!h7"

And "=+a2"

I can send a sample, files were saved as excel 2003-2007 compatible

Team found the issue and are working a fix now, thanks for your feedback!
