    I’m getting an error while looking for all cells with a specific keyword in a sheet. Once the algorithm reaches lastly found cell the process hangs after line number 47.

    range = searchRange.find("GETCELL", range, fo);
    

    It is precisely shown on the video:

    Here is a Java method containing the algorithm based on docs published by Grapecity:

    https://www.grapecity.com/documents-api-excel-java/docs/online/FindandReplaceData.html

    	@Override
    	public Set<String> extractParams(String json) {
    		final Map<String, String> results = new HashMap<String, String>();
    
    		// create a new workbook
    		final Workbook workbook = new Workbook(Licenses.GC_DOCUMENTS_LICENSE);
    		workbook.fromJson(json);
    
    		for (final IWorksheet worksheet : workbook.getWorksheets()) {
    
    			final FindOptions fo = new FindOptions();
    			fo.setLookIn(FindLookIn.Formulas);
    
    			IRange range = null;
    			final IRange searchRange = worksheet.getCells();
    
    			do {
    				System.out.println("pre find range: " + range);
    				range = searchRange.find("GETCELL", range, fo);
    				System.out.println("newly found range: " + range);
    
    				if (range != null) {
    					results.put(range.toString(), range.getFormula());
    					// System.out.println("extractParams() results: " + results);
    				}
    			} while (range != null);
    
    			System.out.println(searchRange);
    		}
    
    		System.out.println("extractParams() results: " + results);
    		return null;
    	}
    

    I tested and repeated this behavior with versions 3.0.4 and 3.1.0.

    Please help to resolve this issue.

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, I am unable to run your sample because of missing attributes like json. Hence, can you please send us your working sample replicating the issue so that we can investigate this issue further.

    You can send us your sample through SupportOne issue 430017 for security reasons.

    Please send us the same. We will look into this thereon.

    Thanks,

    Hello,

    The performance issue is caused by your code.

    final IRange searchRange = worksheet.getCells();

    should be

    final IRange searchRange = worksheet.getUsedRange();
    

    Hence, you need to change the search range because formulas are always null outside of the used range.

    Please have a look at this documentation link for the same:-

    Hope it helps.

    Thanks,
