--- Comment #5 from Christian Fries <em...@christian-fries.de> --- Maybe I would like to add that the ACT/ACT implementation of Excel AND LibreOffice is wrong - in the sense that is does not agree with the (most popular) ISDA definition of ACT/ACT. I would vote for including new „basis“ definitions and have basis 4 be the ACT/ACT EXCEL.
