As mentioned earlier, I thought that a spreadsheet with the Excel empty cell
behaviour would be useful to help us all check specifically for interoperability
issues.

I attach an OOo calc sheet with the observed behaviour of Excel embodied in the
'expectation' cells. The sheet is just the 32340 test case altered to 'expect'
the Excel behaviour I've observed.  Cells in this sheet will display 'ok' if the
OOo version behaves like Excel does, or will display 'ERR' if OOo behaviour
differs from Excel.

It is possible that MS Excel behaviour differs in different versions.  This
attachment is based on the behaviour in Excel 97.  Hopefully we can at least use
it as a starting point.  I have a colleague with a later Excel version, and I
will check whether the behaviour differs in the later version.

I'm particularly keen to focus on solving any residual interoperating problems
because I'd like to switch to OOo in our technical work.  Since our customers,
and our existing models, use Excel, interoperability problems in any commonly
encountered constructions means that we cannot easily migrate, let alone
interest our clients in doing so.  But that's just a bit of background.

Thanks for reading the note, and I hope the attachment is helpful.

regards, Ron
