Problem importing off-sheet references in a .csv, using ssconvert

[Peter Brooks <peter h m brooks gmail com>]

I have this working, using gnumeric ssconvert:


ssconvert --merge-to=merged.xls test1.csv test2.csv test3.csv

It happily imports formulae, such as '=MIN(G2:G4)' correctly.


The problem I have is with off-sheet references. How do I, with the
above setup, get a cross-sheet reference to work. For example, in
'test3.csv':


     =('test1.csv'.G11+'test1.csv'.G8)

When I try this, if converts the off-sheet references to text. I have
tried doing this with libreoffice calc and os/x numbers - I even tried
the numbers reference format:


     test1.csv::Table 1::G8

It still doesn't work.

Any suggestions gratefully received!
