------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Apr 10 03:30:31 -0700 2005 ------- Empty cells are handled inconsistently and IMHO wrongly by the MIN, MAX, MINA and MAXA functions. E.g. MIN(empty cell;4) is 4, however MAX(empty cell;4) is also 4 thus empty cells are both less than and more than 4. mina treats empty cells differently to cells containing strings, i.e. mina(empty cell; 4) is 4 while mina(cell with string in it; 4) is zero Functions like sum treat empty cells as zero, so should min, max, mina, maxa and any other functions which compare numeric values in cells. I will attach a sample spreadsheet if allowed to do so. This has been observed on Fedora core 3 (OOo 1.1.3) and Mac OS (Neooffice - OOo 1.1.4) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
