------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Dec 11 17:34:46 -0800 2005 ------- Indeed window calculator answer is 16 excel 2003 16 too, the reported page from microsoft states it's not a bug but a feature, they state: "Microsoft Excel uses an order of calculation to evaluate operators in formulas. The order of evaluation of operators dictates that a minus sign (-) used as a negation operator (such as -1) is evaluated before all other operators." As a migrating user (60 WS) I will prefer to keep on with MS behaviour instead of breaking the perhaps wrong rule, I prefer to know that I have to put some braces more (as i do actually) when I really want to calculate -(x^2) instead of having to check all the spreadsheets of my company for incompatible math formulas.
