#73 How can I create a structured reference inside jett template?

[Daniele Maddaluno]

Hi I'm trying to use a structured reference with no success inside my template (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Using-structured-references-with-Excel-tables-f5ed2452-2337-4f71-bed3-c8ae6d2b276e)
I tried both <jt:formula text="[ColumnName0]"/> and <jt:null text="=[ColumnName0]"/> but no one of the two worked...

The first one (<jt:formula text="&lt;span&gt;[ColumnName0]&lt;/span&gt;"/>) gives me:

Exception in thread "Thread-5" org.apache.poi.ss.formula.FormulaParseException: Parse error near char 0 '[' in specified formula '[YTD MS]'. Expected number, string, or defined name

And the second one (<jt:null text="=&lt;span&gt;[ColumnName0]&lt;/span&gt;"/>) works only after "manually restored" from the user.

Is there a correct way for doing this?
