--- Comment #4 from Winfried Donkers <winfrieddonk...@libreoffice.org> ---
The GCD_ADD function is present to offer compatibility with the Excel add-in
function GCD from Excel 2003 and earlier (xls).
The GCD function is fully ODFF1.2 compliant and is compatible with the Excel
function GCD from Excel 200 and newer (xlsx).
Because GCD_ADD is an add-in function in Excel, it must be handled quite
differently from GCD on export/import to/from Excel. Also, effectively, it is
an outdated function, available only for backward compatibilty (xls). Patching
this function seems to be a waste of time.
I will see if I can remove the GCD_ADD for the user, and substitute GCD with
GCD_ADD when exporting to xls. When that is complete, all GCD_ADD uses from the
past (in xls and in ods) will be automatically transferred to GCD.
The current behaviour is that GCD_ADD already is being substituted to GCD in
ods, but GCD_ADD is still in the function list, so it's somewhat confusing.
