------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Feb 8 21:45:03 -0800 2006 ------- The problem arises with the string values in the IF formulas in Column V of the attached example Excel file. Equation that works in Excel, but gives Error 503 in OpenOffice.org =IF(U5<165,"2",IF(U5<285,"3",IF(U5<370,"4",IF(U5<500,"4",IF(U5<650,"6",IF(U5<1000,"4",IF(U5<1305,"6","Large Shear"))))))) Equation corrected to work in OpenOffice.org =IF(U5<165;2;IF(U5<285;3;IF(U5<370;4;IF(U5<500;4;IF(U5<650;6;IF(U5<1000;4;IF(U5<1305;6;"Large Shear"))))))) Note the only difference is the removal of the quotes around the values to enter in the cells based on the condition resulting in the entry of a number rather than a string. A very simplified example of the problem: Excel A1 =100/2 results in 50 A1 =100/"2" results in 50 A1 100 B1 2 C1=A1/B1 results in 50 A1 100 B1 "2" C1=A1/B1 results in #VALUE! A1 100 B1 ="2" C1=A1/B1 results in 50 A1 100 B1 '2 C1=A1/B1 results in 50 OpenOffice.org A1 =100/2 results in 50 A1 =100/"2" results in 50 A1 100 B1 2 C1=A1/B1 results in 50 A1 100 B1 "2" C1=A1/B1 results in Error:503 <-- This is correct error A1 100 B1 ="2" C1=A1/B1 results in Error:503 <-- This is incorrect error A1 100 B1 '2 C1=A1/B1 results in Error:503 <-- This is incorrect error Notice that if =100/"2" works in a single cell, there is no apparent reason that A1 100 B1 ="2" C1=A1/B1 should not result in the same answer. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
