<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for taking a look at this! That's a good idea - I was struggling a bit with how to talk about local-scoped names which referred to references on different sheets without over-complicating the text.<br>
<br>
I've updated the example to include the sheet definition, and changed it to refer to a locally-scoped name with a local reference. I think that should make it significantly clearer.<br>

Revised version attached.<br>

I do not understand what is meant by "The sheet element with<br>
localSheetId equal to the value of this attribute". An<br>
example of such a sheet element would be nice as part of<br>
the first example.<br>
<br>

This DR concerns the localSheetID attribute of the SpreadsheetML definedName element, and states that the attribute's meaning is unclear.<br>
<br>
After looking into this, I think the submitter is right and that it's not at all clear what this attribute is intended to represent. I've attached some proposed changes to the standard. A couple of notes:<br>
<br>
* I think that the example mentioned by the submitter is poorly chosen. It mention a "data source" and "external database" - the submitter is correct that this isn't the defined name required for a SpreadsheetML data connected range, and really I don't think
any mention should be made of external data as it complicates the example and isn't relevant. I've reworded it as such.<br>
* Revision records also contain defined names with the same attribute - they have much better descriptions. For example, in 18.11.1.13, the localSheetId is described as " An integer representing the id of the sheet to which this defined name belongs. This shall
be used local defined names only." (sic)<br>
* I notice that Microsoft's MS-OI29500 implementer notes (<a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee908652(v=office.12).aspx" target="_blank">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee908652(v=office.12).aspx</a>) already cover Excel's behaviour
with this attribute - as the standard is not well-defined at all, many of my changes are from there.<br>
