I have a spreadsheet which is being used as a template. Beacuse I was having problems reading the formulas, the cells with formulas in the Excel document are actually text (eg. '=SUM(A1+A2)).

All the cells are read and written into a new document. Except for cells with formulas (in this case text) that link to another worksheet (=SHEET2!A1).

The error is: Unknown sheet name Sales in formula at excel_testing.pl line 265

The script loops through the sheets, rows, and columns, and writes them back like so:
$value = $storage_book->{$sheet}->{$row}->{$col};
$dest_sheet->write($row, $col, $value);

Any ideas as to why the unknown sheet name is happening?
