------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Feb 8 11:47:15 +0000 2008 ------- I found a bug or at least incompability between OO Calc and MS Excel. Let's assume that A1 is empty in B1 we have 0 [zero, as a number] in C1 we have a formula ="" or =countif(4>5;"yes it is OK";"") or any other that is giving as a result "" (emptiness in brackets). In this case MS Excel will show: COUNTBLANK(A1) result 1 COUNTBLANK(B1) result 1 COUNTBLANK(C1) result 1 OpenOffice will however show COUNTBLANK(A1) result 1 COUNTBLANK(B1) result 1 COUNTBLANK(C1) result 0 The COUNTBLANK(C1) is different! This creates uncompatibility between files saved in OO in .xls format and the same files opened/saved in MS Excel. In my case it caused that the spreadsheet was unreadable and main functions didnt' show the correct values. I encountered the problem in all OO version regardless of operating system and version. It should be corrected. Greg --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
