DO NOT REPLY [Bug 45025] New: Error in setFormula with VLOOKUP in 3. 1-beta1 and 3.1-beta2

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45025

           Summary: Error in setFormula with VLOOKUP in 3.1-beta1 and 3.1-
                    beta2
           Product: POI
           Version: 3.0-dev
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HSSF
        AssignedTo: dev@poi.apache.org
        ReportedBy: erudil@yahoo.com


When using setFormula in a HSSFCell with an inner VLOOKUP function as: 

    dailyCost.setCellFormula("VLOOKUP(\""+t.getRol()+"\";'Tarifas venta
personal'!$D$12:$E$30;2;false)");

I receive the following exception:

This problem doesn't happen in 3.0 final release, I'm trying to use 3.1 since I
need VLOOKUP function working with a reference in the first argument instead of
a literal.

--- Comment #1 from Josh Micich <jo...@gildedtree.com>  2008-05-23 00:06:33 PST ---
The main problem is use of semicolons (;) for argument separators when POI
expects commas (,).  (Similar to first part of bug 45041).  I guess if comma is
used as a decimal separator, something else is required to delimit arguments.  

For the moment, all POI can do is present a better error message. 
Internationalization would require a big effort.

I added a fix for this in svn r659455.  Now POI will give a message like:
Parse error near char 13 ';' in specified formula 'VLOOKUP("123";'Tarifas venta
personal'!$D$12:$E$30;2;false)'. Expected ',' or ')'

After changing the semicolons to commas, POI seems to output a spreadsheet with
a well encoded VLOOKUP formula.
