Hello
I have been working in IT for 32 years, from Mainframe design through to cloud
integrations within VM ESX servers I build. So I know a little bit about
hardware and software. I found the issue, and a team of developers I know have
found a resolution.
The backend code for the function doesn't equate for single routines of sum in
other formats based on the cell, that why it errors. However they have proposed
a code change that sums any value numeric where the format is not equal to an
integer.
The code allows and can distingish the Value enetered, irraspective of format,
and provides the total. At the moment OpenOffice doesn't, its flawed.
