I don't believe this is actually covered in our test automation. So maybe the actual root causes is that there were no test cases for this function. If there were test cases then the defect could have been detected by manual or automated testing. I agree with you that spreadsheets functions lend themselves to automated testing. But the problem here was not lack of automation. It was lack of a test case, period. -Rob > Regards, > Andrea. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
