------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Mar 19 18:52:46 +0000 2007 ------- Forgive me for posting distracting discussion. I do not wish to propose anything with regard to conditional logic based on the existence of dependent calculations, nor am I asking for a compatibility mode. I only raised that discussion to consider (and distinguish from) the case of spreadsheets wherein the author explicitly entered the leading apostrophe, which is not the case here. It is a peripheral discussion. With regard to the ISNUMBER function, I see FALSE too. But this is only mildly interesting. I pose the same the question to you: How DOES my Excel program successfully return the reasonable and correct product in cell b3 (1274.4) if it does not recognize a3 as a number? It DOES complete the calculation just so. More relevant, and at the risk of being monotonous, why does OO Calc regard the identical string as Currency when encountered as keyboard input, yet not so when encountered as a General string from the .xls? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
