Frank, thanks for a quick response.

You said "An empty cell is not Zero but empty."

But the report is highlighting that the SAME cell gives rise to TWO DIFFERENT
evaluations depending - 
Not on the cell contents
Not on whether a numeric value is being requested
but only on whether the cell is directly or indirectly referenced.

Regardless of whether the value of a cell should or should not be '0' or 'empty'
- should it's numerical value be the same as a result of either types of
referencing mechanism?  Or should the numerical value of a cell be different and
not carry through if a cell is looked up?

>From the user's perspective, I think we would hope that a cell's value would be
consistent however accessed.  I haven't posted this in the public forum, so
there may not be many (any?) users who see this report and conversation.  But
does the team normally value a wider user input?  I am uncomfortable with
publicising this issue because I feel it reveals an internal inconsistency in
the application, and an incompatibility which will inhibit migration or adoption
of OO - both are aspects that could be cited to discourage OO's wider
acceptance.  If the team does want further user input, perhaps the team could
decide what to post on the public forums.

regards, and thanks again for a quick response, Ron
