Fixes #395
This is a simple fix that allows
GET DIRECT ...
calls to use a cell reference that has lowercase letters instead of the more typical uppercase ones. Vensim is lenient and allows either form, but the XLSX library we use in SDE is not lenient, so I've added atoUpperCase()
call in the appropriate places.I also added some error handling so that users will get a more useful error message in the unlikely case where an invalid cell reference is used (instead of allowing things to pass through).
I updated the existing integration tests and also added some new unit tests to verify this.
