Update PHPExcel to 1.8.0 in PHPRunner 7.1

PHPRunner General questions

I need to change the PHPExcel library to improve data export and I've changed the version 1.7.5 incorporating PHPRunner version 7.1, for version 1.8.0 (the latest recommended).
The standard export works fine but the import date data type gives this error.
"Fatal error: Call to undefined method PHPExcel_Worksheet::getCellXfByIndex() in C:\Program Files\Apache2.2\htdocs\test\include\import_functions.php on line 54"
This error occurs only with date data type.
How I can load the 2 versions of the same project PHPExcel?
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks for your help

I guess newer version of PHPExcel doesn't have some functions PHPRunner needs and this breaks the import page. You'll have to wait till we incorporate the new version of PHPExcel into PHPRunner.

Thank you very much. For my project, this situation is a serious problem. Previously, with 5.3 PHPRunner I could put PHPExcel version that required the development and PHPRunner 7.1, I can not.

You need to understand that this is PHPExcel issue. As far as I can see they broke compatibility removing some functions in newer version that PHPRunner 7.1 uses.

Workaround. the problem we have detected only on:

File include/import_functions.php

Line 54, comment and add: $date_format = 'dd-mm-yyyy H:i:s'; // Spanish
This is a problem PHPRunner 7.1
