Hello Steve and Olivier, I found one more useless text in the FV function.
"In the LibreOfficeDev Calc functions, parameters marked as "optional" can be left out only when no parameter follows. For example, in a function with four parameters, where the last two parameters are marked as "optional", you can leave out parameter 4 or parameters 3 and 4, but you cannot leave out parameter 3 alone." Either we add this in all functions with optional parameters which I think is not possible or we remove it from here. What do you guys think?
