I'd assume it is to improve interoperability between versions and implementors of the standard. This is also what I assumed. Which left me even more puzzled why the draft mentions UI at all. It looks like it is trying to overspecify things in several ways and nobody would be getting anywhere with it. Frankly said, I'm mainly interested in it because I fear that there's developing some standard away from real life and people might jump on the wagon just because they think standards are good, no matter what. If that is the case then there is already a standard, MS Excel. Given the complexity and prevalence of it's evaluation engine it seems wasteful for us to produce a standard that does anything that is not a superset of Excel's conventions. Well, yes. Some may not like it, but this faces reality. The most useful thing we could do for interoperability is to define a table of differences, which function uses what parameters and whether they're optional in different applications and thus in their ODF namespace. This could be used during reading a file. Specifying all the intricacies (first time I encountered that word, btw ;) would drive us nuts in the end. Just my personal 2cts.

The error message obviously calls for adding 'cliureversion.mk'

cliureversion.mk gets built in module cli_ure and is delivered to the
solver, you should have it in solver/680/${INPATH}/bin/cliureversion.mk
Also, right now, the scsolver and lpsolve modules are enabled globally
(i.e. they get built notmatter what). I had tried to find a way to
make these two modules a build time option, but I couldn't find out
how to make it optional at module level. If someone knows how to do
it, please share it with me.
This should be possible using a configure --disable-... option or
similar, the build dependencies then would get a prefix that tells the
dependency generator to ignore those modules, for example see the
BINFILTER:binfilter entry in postprocess/prj/build.lst, which is
connected to the --disable-binfilter configure option. Be sure to add
the prefix to the scsolver module in every build.lst where it is
mentioned. However, I'm by no means an autoconf expert, so don't ask me
how to exactly specify this other than copying already existing entries
in config_office/{configure,configure.in,set_soenv.in}

Re: [sc-dev] Conditional menu item
Hi Kohei, On Thursday, 2006-10-05 21:55:07 -0400, Kohei Yoshida wrote: menu items are controlled by the 'menubar.xml' file located in sc/uiconfig/scalc. The question is, how do I conditionally exclude a menu item from this xml file? I may be wrong on this, but I don't think items can be conditionally excluded during build time. You could dynamically enable/disable the menu entry depending on whether your component is installed and provides it's service. However, I think this would need the dispatch mechanisms and deeper integration with the Calc code. Maybe someone on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list has an answer to this special problem, IMHO it's the first time a component is conditionally built but likes to have integration with an application menu-wise. A solution could be to use the general UNO package integration mechanisms provided for components instead, and add the menu entry in pre-registration during the install set creation by means of Addons.xcu, which again would place the menu entry into the AddOn submenu, which may not be desired. Though I'm not sure how that pre-registration works exactly.. you may want to ask on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. Eike -- OOo/SO Calc core developer. Number formatter stricken i18n transpositionizer.

Filter settings are saved, and we have to adhere to the specification about how they are stored. Adding extra bits into the file format itself shouldn't be too hard. It's not a question of being hard or not. It's a question of time. If the change isn't proposed to the OASIS TC very soon within the next 2-3 weeks it may not make it into the next ODF version scheduled for fall this year. As OOo can't implement file format changes before they are standardized this would mean that implementation would have to wait for the next ODF version then. There currently is no schedule, but most certainly the then next ODF version will not come before the end of next year. OTOH, I'm not sure about adhering to the specification part. I just checked the ODF specification v1.1 section 8.7.4 entitled Filter Condition, but it doesn't specify how such multi-string values should be stored. You have to extend ODF, just storing a new setting enumeration probably isn't enough, you also want to somehow store the multi-strings. I hope we will not have to extend the ODF itself to get this enhancement in. Given how many years (2 years so far) I've been waiting for the very old natural sort patch[1] to make it in, Actually that's only 1 year for the file format now, since May 2006. I'm not very enthusiastic about bringing a change request to the ODF spec. Well, that's the the draw-back of using a fully standardized file format..

No, but a fast way to select the entire sheet, whatever size it has, and apply some attribute or style. BUT then, Calc could change only the default settings for the master cell (or the 256 cells). NO need to copy the value _value_ here to every single cell, and 65536 x 256 becomes *irrelevant*. Calc could *fast scan* all cells, to see IF any attributes and from here on about _attributes_ are explicitly set (IF that would circumvent the master attribute), and reset them. This would be much faster and surely more efficient (and elegant) then setting explicitly every attribute. This doesn't mix. I repeat again: Calc doesn't store attributes per cell, but in ranges per column, so if you have all cells of a column identically formatted there is one single attribution entry stored for this column. If you change attributes of one cell somewhere in between you get three entries, above, the cell and below. Setting another attribute on the entire column will change only those three entries, no need to touch 65536 cells. [...] I definitely recommend studying more advanced spreadsheet models, They do exist for at least 10 years, and newer designs are really powerful. When I will have some spare time, I will elaborate on my top 5 of spreadsheet issues (this multidimensionality and the data typing/transformation discussed on the OASIS list are just 2 of them). As long as the top 80% issues are about do it like Excel, I can't import that Excel file, I can't export this to Excel you'll get exactly nowhere with whatever sophisticated new spreadsheet models. It may all be nice and needed by a minority of users wanting to do very serious business with it. It may be a highly anticipated and accepted niche product, but in an Office suite, if you don't offer at least a mode for Excel interoperability it just doesn't sell.

Hi Muthu, On Thursday, 2007-06-28 20:07:47 +0530, Muthu Subramanian wrote: I have committed my changes to msba02 (based on src680-m212). I wonder why you created the CWS based on m212, which is several weeks old now, instead of using a more recent milestone. Already when we talked about using the SRC680 code line instead of OOD680, I told you to use m214 or later, which was ready by then. Usually QA now rejects builds based on milestones earlier than m213 because there the new chart module was integrated and automated test scripts have been adapted and don't run with earlier versions anymore. m215 and m216 were quite broken and the latest known to be good master is m217. I tried building it on the buildbot - it succeeded only on one bot: http://termite.go-oo.org/Sun-Soli1/builds/91/step-Install_Set/1 (Some) Failed ones: http://termite.go-oo.org/Sun-Sols1/builds/118/step-compile/1 http://termite.go-oo.org/Sun-Win1/builds/60/step-compile/1 [Looks like the failures are due to bot-problems.] Did you inform the maintainers/admins of those? Would be nice, the problem might also already be known though. (to confirm) Things that I have to do next: 1. Mark as 'ready for QA' (already marked) There is no QA-rep assigned to the cws. Contact Frank Stecher [EMAIL PROTECTED], or ask on the QA mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] if someone is willing to take it. 2. What is 'estimated due date'? The estimated date when the cws is due to be integrated, which of course depends on how long QA will need to finish the tests on it. Usually 2-3 weeks after the ready-for-QA date. The problem now is that probably the cws won't be QA'ed in time anymore before feature freeze of OOo2.3, which is 5th of July. Especially if it has to be resynced again to a recent milestone. Please contact Frank Stecher [EMAIL PROTECTED] for how to proceed. If the cws won't make it into OOo2.3 anymore, the release target will have to be updated to OOo2.4 and the issue's target milestone accordingly. 3. Send a feature announcement. Yes.

I further suggest to give it some structure: 1. Move (! by using the wiki's move mechanism, visible when going to edit mode) the Statistical_Data_Analysis_Tool page to Calc/To-Dos/Statistical_Data_Analysis_Tool 2. Create subpages for topics directly belonging to that article, for example Calc/To-Dos/Statistical_Data_Analysis_Tool/Descriptive_Statistics The wiki link for this to be placed in the Statistical_Data_Analysis_Tool page would simply be [[/Descriptive_Statistics]] Unfortunately, I did not manage to create a new page, despite countless attempts and searches on the site for such help. A new article can be created by either attempting to direct the browser to a non-existing article, for example http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Calc/To-Dos/Statistical_Data_Analysis_Tool/Descriptive_Statistics and then follow the edit tab respectively edit this page link. Or by placing a wiki link (the [[pagename]] tags) in the article you want to link from, and then follow that link when the page is displayed, which generally is more convenient.

Unfortunately, the obvious way of doing this mapping would be to add
constants to the FilterOperator enum in
offapi/com/sun/star/sheet/FilterOperator.idl, and changing this file

Yes, the (from a core implementor's view) always hated
enums-are-fixed-sets ABI ...
What is the best way to solve this, so that we can persist the new
FilterOperator values to the .ods file? I have one working (hackish)
solution [2], but I doubt that this would be ideal.
Au contraire, it would forbid using the new values via API and break
already existing extensions written in Java (and maybe other languages)
that query the filter operator.
The usual approach to extend such an API is to introduce a second new
enum range, or if adding to the values is planned for the future using
a constant is more appropriate, since extending constants is no problem.
To use the new enum/constant all structs using the old FilterOperator
enum need a derived version, optional properties been added, and
additional interfaces need to be implemented for all these data types,
and offered either as an optional interface at the already existing
service, or via inheritance. For example
constants FilterOperator2 {...};
struct TableFilterField2 : TableFilterField
{
com::sun::star::sheet::FilterOperator2 Operator2;
};
service DataPilotSourceDimension
{
...
[optional, property] sequence com::sun::star::sheet::TableFilterField2
Filter2;
};
interface XSheetFilterDescriptor2 : XSheetFilterDescriptor
{
sequence com::sun::star::sheet::TableFilterField2 getFilterFields2();
};
service SheetFilterDescriptor
{
...
[optional] interface com::sun::star::sheet::XSheetFilterDescriptor2;
};
and so on.. be sure you don't miss interfaces and services that make use
of XSheetFilterDescriptor and derived, there are a few. And yes,
having to carry out this work is extremely nasty just to add some values
to an enum. And yes, this is the reason why I refrain from using enums
in new interfaces if there is only the slightest chance that another
value would had to be supported in future. Which makes enums pretty much
useless, IMHO.

Re: [sc-dev] i20496 : Enhanced formula input
Hi Frank, The spec http://specs.openoffice.org/calc/ease-of-use/Enhanced_Formula_Input.odt for issue http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=20496 states: ++ Number Formula: =++Number Why should a leading ++ trigger conversion to formula? -- Number Formula: =--Number Again, why should a leading -- trigger conversion to formula? Btw, why should a leading - minus trigger conversion at all? What if * multiplication and / division operators are used, as in +number/number, I guess these should be treated identical? Since this feature is primarily useful when entering numbers on the number keypad, I guess that when the input is +any_non_number+... conversion to formula should never apply? There are ambiguous situations where conversion to formula may be wanted or not, for example +number-number-number which may as well be an international telephone number including the common notation of +region code, e.g. +49-40-..., these would be converted if the input wasn't preceded with a ' single quote (apostrophe). The behavior if and when to enter reference input mode if cursor keys are pressed needs to be defined. Please follow-up on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list, Reply-To header is set.

As soon as I wanted to enter more than one date I'd just wish to kick it away. or be more strict about what format is considered a date in that scenario. This is what we need. That would also allow us to localize the date format too without causing too much headache. The date input format actually is halfly localized, the YMD order and separator are taken from the locale, but the parser accepts other separators [-./] as well. An additional problem is that, for example, US folks like to write 12/10 for Dez-10 current year, Germans wouldn't expect 10.12 to get parsed as a date, which it currently is, but 10.12. instead (note the trailing dot). And of course you want ISO 8601 -mm-dd always to be parsed in any locale, and probably also 12-10. Heck, and you want Monday, December 10, 2007 be parsed as well. And you want input to be parsed in the same format that the cell is displayed with, if possible. What's still missing is input in other calendar systems than Gregorian for several reasons, even if output works fine.

Re: [sc-dev] A question of i38759
Hi Lvyue, On Tuesday, 2007-12-11 10:35:18 +0800, Lvyue wrote: I want to ask if there is no numeric value, but string value in a cell, range or matrix, should MIN/MAX return 0? Yes. Only if there are no other numeric values that would result in a different min/max, of course. Short definition: If there is no numeric value return 0, else return min/max of numeric values. If that, then what is the difference between MIN/MAX and MINA/MAXA? MIN/MAX would return 0 only if no other numeric values are encountered. For MINA/MAXA, a string value does always count as zero, so if we have A1: empty A2: string A3: 3 =MIN(A1:A3) = 3 =MINA(A1:A3) = 0 =MIN(A1:A2) = 0 // new behavior, currently results in Err:502 =MINA(A1:A2) = 0 =MIN(A1) = 0 // new behavior, currently results in Err:502 =MINA(A1)= 0 // new behavior, currently results in Err:502 Note that MIN(A1:A3) is identical to MIN(A1;A2;A3) I think one parm can be considered empty only if there is not any value, neither numeric nor string. As MIN/MAX act only on numeric values and ignore strings, emptiness is already fulfilled if in all arguments no numeric value was encountered. For MINA/MAXA of course it is the condition of neither numeric nor string. As I think it that way, I count every matrix element to determine wether it is empty. Besides, nEmpty... are used for counting the number of parms, not the number of cells. If I misunderstand your meaning, please explain it again. Matching conditions of emptiness against the number of parameters passed is not needed. The minimum/maximum is determined over all parameters, not separately, so emptiness is also a over all condition. Hope that helps. Eike -- OOo/SO Calc core developer.

With the patch the function currently treats bEmptyCells=true if already only one of the parameters does not evaluate as a value (or text with bTextAsZero==true). Instead, only if all parameters do not contain any value the condition of returning 0 unconditionally should be met. So, =MAX(A1:A2;B1:B2) should result in the maximum value of A1:A2 if the range B1:B2 does not contain numeric value cells. Btw, in the case of svString the SetError(errIllegalParameter) should not be replaced. Passing a literal string to MIN/MAX (as opposed to MINA/MAXA) should still result in an error.

(1) The error result for Nper=0 is not implemented yet. I have seen SetError(errIllegalArgument), SetIllegalArgument(), SetIllegalParameter(), and SetError(errIllegalParameter). What is the right one in this case? Depends on.. as this is about generating an error in the case that an argument had a bad value, it is one of the IllegalArgument values (yes, this is inconsistently handled throughout all functions, I'm about changing that). SetError( errIllegalArgument) and SetIllegalArgument() differ in that SetError(...) only sets the error, while SetIllegalArgument() also pushes a value to the stack. Yes, bad naming, I already changed that in CWS odff to PushIllegalArgument(). So, if the code will reach a place where some value is pushed using one of the other Push...() methods, SetError( errIllegalArgument) is appropriate, else SetIllegalArgument() if bailing out of the function early is required. Btw, in CWS odff I changed (and will change) a lot of things and diffs created against earlier code respectively current milestones probably won't apply anymore without adapting them.

(2) The parameter Nper has the type 'number'. May it be non integer? For non integer Nper there must be RATE=-1 because of (1+Rate)^Nper. Should RATE-1 be excluded in all cases or only if Nper isn't integer? The ODFF draft working document has a comment about this: | TBD: In Gnumeric, Nper seems to be truncated if it is not an integer. In | OOo2, Nper seems not to be truncated if it is not an integer and the | fractional part is included in the calculation. What does excel do?

It wasn't decided yet whether it should be required to truncate Nper to integer. Usually, if there is no mathematical requirement to do so, so far we did not put constraints on argument values. From your view as a mathematician, does it make sense to allow non-integer Nper values? If the implementation works correctly for both, integer and non-integer, I'd say support also non-integers. In case we'll define integers only should be supported it should be fairly easy to restrict implementation accordingly. (3) „RATE solves the equitation...“ In many cases there is not only one solution but there are two, sometimes three. Currently OOo returns solutions, which are far away from 0, Excel doesn't, what the issue is about. But what to do, if the user starts with a GUESS that will lead to such a solution and the user sets GUESS to that value with the intention to get such solution? Would the result be correct then? Even if far away from 0? If not, we should generate an error, I think. Leaves the question to define a limit for far away ... (4) What role should GUESS have? start the iterative computation makes not sure, that different implementations will return the same value. Unfortunately algorithm and implementation are not defined, also ECMA/MOOXML doesn't tell anything, as usual. Do you know algorithms that would yield better results than others? Maybe we can define them in ODFF. (5) What should RATE return, if solutions exist, but values are far away from 0? Example: Nper=4; Pv=-1; Payment=0.82; Fv=2. It has one solution round RATE=100% and another one round RATE=-215%. Excel gives an error in this special case. If you can detect that, I think generating an error is appropriate. (6) Technical questions: Should I use tabs or spaces for indent? Spaces please for new code. Shift width / indenting is 4 spaces, if you also set your editor's tabs to stop at multiples of 4, code will be legible. The current text has German identifiers and parameters and German comments, for example fBw (which means 'Barwert') instead of fPv, which would fit to the specification. Change it? Yes, please. Doing so will clarify the code for other developers. 'fSchaetzwert' and the like look ugly anyway, I guess some other German mathematician introduced them ;-) The internal function 'GetZinsIterationEps' returns fEps, the last difference between neighbored values. That is used to determine whether the result is valid or not. This will fail, if you decide, that resolutions far away from 0 should not be valid although they solve the equation. May I change it to boolean in that case? Sure, if it serves your purpose. Which boolean type has it to be, if I change it? Use C++ bool type instead of the old BOOL typedef.

a remark on the ODFF-spec:
The parameter 'PaymentType' has got type 'number'. In the description only
the values 0 and 1 are mentioned. But there is no constraint to {0;1}. The
description doesn't say what to do with other values. The parameter
'PaymentType' in the equation can be interpreted as constant offset to the
regular date of payment. So other values are meaningful too. Therefore the
description should explicitly allow or forbid values others than {0;1}.
The current implementation in OOo uses silently the value 1 for all values
but 0, but makes no use from it in the Newton-algorithm. I'll not change
that.
Thanks for the comment. Yes, this indeed is an open question and should
be clarified in ODFF, just wrote a mail to the committee's list. Looks
like implementations constrain the parameter to {0;0} because that's
what the other spreadsheet application documented to do. However, what
it docuemented is not what it does. It seems to interpret the value as
an offset (in periods) to the end date of the payment period instead.
Would it be feasible to add that to our implementation?
However, the PayType corresponds with FV, NPER, PMT and PV so should be
treated consistent.
Btw, in CWS odff I changed (and will change) a lot of things and diffs

I have not done it yet. Now I have installed WinCvs and have been able to
check out the sc modul with the tag cws_src680_odff. Therefore I think,
that it will be feasible for me in principle. If I get problems, I will
surely get help on the German mailing list.
Or here or on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
EIS says the current milestone of that cws is m243, but I find no download
for it. Do I need to get the whole source via check out? Is it right, that
I had to use that milestone for the cws odff?
Yes, that's correct, and to get the source you'd need the commands
cvs co -P -rSRC680_m243 OpenOffice2
cd sc
cvs update -dP -rcws_src680_odff
But I'll resync the CWS to m244 soon (this week) because some things
don't work in m243 and Lvyue would also benefit from being able to use
m244 after Chinese New Year break, so you should wait before checking
out and building m243 if you didn't do it yet. I'll give a heads up when
the CWS will be resynced.
(2)
The parameter Nper has the type 'number'. May it be non integer?
[...]
I would say, that non-integer Nper values are questionable. You can use
such non-integer Nper values in the given equation and the Newton-algorithm
will work and the results will be valid roots. But the term
'((1+x)^Nper-1)/x' is a shortened result of the underlaying sum 'sum from
i=0 to (Nper-1) (1+x)^i' and therein a non-integer Nper value makes no
sense.
That sounds like it would be a good strategy to have an integer
constraint on the Nper parameter.
If
the implementation works correctly for both, integer and non-integer,
I'd say support also non-integers. In case we'll define integers only
should be supported it should be fairly easy to restrict implementation
accordingly.
The right side of the equation has a domain of [-1;infinity[ for
non-integer Nper values. If Nper is an integer value, one can use a domain
including values -1, for a pure mathematical view. For real live use
cases, I think, that mathematical solutions -1 are senseless. That claims
the reporter of the issue too. Therefore I like to set such solutions to
invalid, if you agree. Doing that, it would make no difference in the
central algorithm whether you use only integer values or not.
Sounds good to me.
(3)
„RATE solves the equitation...“
[...]
Yes, the results are correct in a pure mathematical view.
Leaves the question to define a limit
for far away ...
That's the problem. I like to set results -1 to invalid, whether they are
mathematically correct or not, see above.
I think that's ok in this context.
(4)
What role should GUESS have? start the iterative computation makes not
sure, that different implementations will return the same value.
Unfortunately algorithm and implementation are not defined, also
ECMA/MOOXML doesn't tell anything, as usual. Do you know algorithms that

ODFF.
The now used Newton-algorithm works fine in most cases and is very fast
(quadratic). Another one is Regula falsi. The latter requires a second
initial value, so that the function has a change of sign in between.
Depending on the way how this value is determined, the solution from Regula
falsi might differ from that of the Newton-algorithm.

See also the comment I added to the issue. but I found it ignores all errors. for example, if the cell A1 has a formula =COUNT(A1), the result will be 0. and before I change, the result was Err:522. Is that right? Good that you mentioned. Comparing with Excel this is indeed a strange case. Also there A1:=COUNT(A1) results in 0 (after having popped up a warning about circular reference), but A1:=COUNT(A1:A2) and the value 1 in A2 still results in 0, which looks broken to me. I find many formulas will return Err:522 in this case, All circular references should result in that error, except for formulas where ISERROR() or ISNUMBER() or similar check for the type or evaluate the error. And now COUNT() and COUNTA() as well. but for COUNT, I think it is ok. however I don't know if this is the result you want. Error values are to be ignored, this is also what the ECMA/MOOXML spec says, so not counting the formula cell producing the circular reference error and not propagating the error is the logical consequence. Also =COUNT(1/0) as an error case example should ignore the error and not increment the count. To make that work a check for the stack type svError is needed in ScInterpreter::IterateParameters() and ignore that for the case of ifCOUNT, setting nGlobalError to 0. In ScInterpreter::Interpret() the OpCode ocCount needs to be added to the CASE_OCERRFUNC macro. I also found formula =COUNTA(A1) returns 1, not Err:522. Which fits well. Also =COUNTA(1/0) should return 1, and ocCount2 be added to the CASE_OCERRFUNC macro to make that work, and the check for svError in IterateParameters() counting the error for ifCOUNT2, again setting nGlobalError=0. It gets more complicated now though: for incorrect references, after having called PopSingleRef() or PopDoubleRef(), nGlobalError is set. To be consistent this must be checked as well, and the error ignored for ifCOUNT respectively counted for ifCOUNT2. A test case for that would be: - B1: 1 - A1: =COUNT(B1)= 1 - A2: =COUNTA(B1) = 1 - Delete column B = result A1==0, A2==1 Eike -- OOo/SO Calc core developer.

So, I couldn't have used ScGrammar at the time I implemented. Understood. Of course now that we have ScGrammar I'll be happy to use it instead. [... the separators ...] They should be merged into the SymbolsNative map instead. Sure. I'll look into that. Thanks. I have one question, though. Do we still need to differentiate between the address convention and the formula convention in general? Different address conventions may be used with the same formula language / function names. For example, once we implemented configurable address conventions at the UI, the native formula language could be used with different conventions. For this, additionally to GRAM_NATIVE, I prepared GRAM_NATIVE_UI (used as GRAM_DEFAULT throughout most calls), GRAM_NATIVE_XL_A1 and GRAM_NATIVE_XL_R1C1. They all share FormulaLanguage::NATIVE. See sc/inc/grammar.hxx. Also GRAM_PODF and GRAM_PODF_A1 are identical except the address convention used, with (file format) or without (API compatibility) bracketed references. GRAM_ODFF of course has only one convention, but if needed later GRAM_ODFF_A1 could be used as well, again with the only difference that references wouldn't be enclosed in brackets then. The idea I envisioned was just to use one global formula convention to control both the address convention and the rest of the formula convention (such as the argument and array separators), and expose that to the UI as well. If I didn't get you wrong that is what ScGrammar effectively does or is prepared for, take a look at the details. It tells the compiler how to parse/stringize. Note that the enum value has room for bits to be used for such things if we had to, the language part is certainly not needed in its full length (kConventionShift). However, I think that because localizable separators would only affect FormulaLanguage::NATIVE (and maybe FormulaLanguage::ENGLISH as well if we wanted to) we simply can store the configured separators in the symbol map and either dynamically adapt the bits in the ScCompiler::pConventions tables according to the current symbol map or setup a localized and UI configured address convention table, and probably have to massage ScCompiler::NextSymbol() somewhat to support that. That's just my quick brainstorm, does it sound feasible? Eike -- OOo/SO Calc core developer. Number formatter stricken i18n transpositionizer.

My original intention was to support switching between the two separator styles, but using mxSymbolsNative that will not be possible unless I'm missing something. But you wouldn't switch arbitrarily between styles, would you? If the user selects a style, that style would be valid for all formulas. It would not be a per cell setting, not even per document.

Re: [sc-dev] About i78781(Excel INDEX() compatibility)
Hi Yue, On Tuesday, 2008-03-18 15:07:56 +0800, Lvyue wrote: I began to work on issue78781 yesterday. Fine, thanks. Compared with Excel, I found there are two things I should modify. 1. while input: =INDEX($D$27:$P$27;2) the result should be value of E27. Correct. For a row vector the row number acts as a column number. 2. while input: =INDEX(($D$27:$P$27;$D$29:$P$29);2) the result also should be value of E27. Also correct, because if the area number is omitted area 1 is taken. so I made some change, and attach the patch on issue78781. please check it, and if I miss anything, please tell me. I think that's all what i78781 is about and your approach looks like it would work. Similar behavior should of course still be observed for a column vector, see ODFF spec. Note that the current version available for download has an error and mixed up terminology of row vector with column vector and vice versa, I already corrected that in my editorial copy, sorry if that caused any confusion. Corrected version should read: | If DataSource is a one-dimensional column vector, Column is optional or | can be omitted as an empty parameter (two consecutive ;; semicolons). If | DataSource is a one-dimensional row vector, Row is optional, which looks | as if Row is taken as the column offset into the vector, or can be | omitted as an empty parameter (two consecutive ;; semicolons). I didn't check implementation yet, the patch looks good, I'll create a new CWS odff03 to apply and test all pending patches. Unfortunately there's more to the INDEX() function, as there are combinations of omitted parameters possible, as described in the ODFF spec. Could you please check what the function's implementation is missing? I implemented much of it in CWS odff but noted down that we're not fully compatible yet for the array cases. For example, related is http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=66930 Don't get confused by the original submitter's description, the issue is not about LOGEST() not working correctly but INDEX() not returning a vector for the array case. BTW, did you see the 4th patch of i86643? I'm not sure if the handle of errNoName is right, but it is indeed a disturb of counting correctly. I don't quite understand the reasoning there. Why do you restrict the precondition to errNoName and only then set nGlobalError=0? Also, why ignore an error only if nGlobalError!=NOTAVAILABLE? IMHO all errors are to be ignored for COUNT() respectively counted for COUNTA(). Btw, the expression nCount += ( eFunc == ifCOUNT2 )? 1:0; should better be written as if (eFunc == ifCOUNT2) ++nCount; Ok, that's all about the issue, I have a personal question. :) Sometimes I feel confused about the ODFF, I have seen the document about ODFF, it introduced many formulas. But I'm still not sure what I should do on ODFF. Make the formula act as the document says and keep it compatible with Excel? Is that all I should do? In general yes. If there is a discrepancy between ODFF specification and Excel behavior that is not explained in ODFF please drop me a note so I can investigate. Please also give me a heads up if the ODFF spec isn't clear enough or lacks details one must know to implement the desired behavior, also if observing Excel behavior clarifies something that wasn't clear in the ODFF spec.

Today it doesn't.
Indeed, that's an error. In array context using a label should not
generate a position dependent reference. Probably correct would be to
generate an array instead, similar to {=A1:A3} as opposed to =A1:A3.
However, the other spreadsheet application generates a #N/A error in
that case. Not sure if there is a reason other than implementation
details, will have to investigate.
Should i file a issue? I haven't find any related to this.
Yes, please file an issue.

In a short time frame, removing the relaxed date recognition and allowing only full dates would be possible. Note that doing so would affect all applications that use the number formatter/parser. In a medium time frame I would see input masks for abbreviated date input being defined in locale data, plus API to access them, plus have that handled in the number parser. Implementing some date recognition mask would need a configuration item, a dialog, sensible defaults in locale data, dialog input checking whether the input masks match the locale's date order definition, make the number parser handle that masks list, react somehow when the locale was changed, and maybe more. 2.) TEXT-vs-NUMERIC 1.) convert text-to-numbers automatically I don't know why you come up with this again, I thought I lined out in issue 5658 why that is not a good idea because results would be locale dependent. 2.) raise error / flag results where such text occurs Raising an error for single cell references containing text and literal string arguments where a number is expected IMHO is the only real solution. 3.) offer easy recognition and conversion of text to numbers This may be implemented as well then, after we treat text-if-number as error. Unfortunately, separating numbers from strings is a very *artificial* separation. It is NOT the way spreadsheets and humans function. 3 is always 3, independent of it being addressed in a numerical or textual context. Number recognition is only safe during user input. If not done in the input locale's context, guessing numbers from text is error prone. Numbers have to be a distinct type to make the spreadsheet work if loaded in another locale or a different application that might even not know the locale the document originally was created in. Btw, cross-copying to more than one mailing list quite assures that the discussion will be scattered over the lists. Either because people replying are not subscribed to all of them and the replies have to be moderated through, or because of the unfortunate Reply-To mangling on OOo lists that directs a reply to one list only if not circumvented by the person replying or a capable mail user agent knowing how to handle mailing lists.

3.2 Non-Scalar Evaluation (aka 'Array expressions')
snip
1)Normal evaluation in non-'array' mode does an implicit
intersection of the argument with the expression's evaluation
position.
snip
1.1)References
If the target reference is a row-vector (Nx1) use the value at
the intersection of the evaluation position's column and the
reference's row.
in cell B2 : =ABS(A1:C1) = ABS(B1)
if there is no intersection the result is #VALUE!
in cell B4 : =ABS(A1:C1) = #VALUE!
OK, clearly there's an error in this ODFF draft, because B4
intersects A1:C1 at cell B1. Let's say it should read
in cell D4 : =ABS(A1:C1) = #VALUE!
Thanks for the hint, I set that on the list of things to be corrected.

Re: [sc-dev] wrong display for special function result near 1
Hi Regina, On Wednesday, 2008-06-25 23:42:16 +0200, Regina Henschel wrote: I'm working on BETADIST. For certain inputs my version of that function returns a value, which is near to 1.

I couldn't reproduce that, using a number format code 0.00E+000 Did you do something different? It is really a display problem and not a problem of my function, because the result of the formula =BETADIST(B$3;$B$1;$A8)+1 is correctly shown as 2,00E+000. To see the problem, you need my interpr3.cxx and the interpr6.cxx from cws DEV300/odff04. You cannot use the normal version, because there the function is not accurate enough to get that problem. I tried in odff04, no problem with Linux .pro and non-pro and Windows .pro builds. I have simulate the algorithm with MuPad, a high precision CAS. There I get the value 0.9993332933300668465 (first digits) for my result. But I don't know which value OOo has internally. For the raw unformatted result you could set a breakpoint where BETADIST pushes its value and display it in the debugger or analyze the IEEE 754 double bits. Does anyone know the reason or like to have a look at it or show me a way to get the root of the problem? If it turns out to be really a display problem, it's probably the number formatter to look at, svtools/source/numbers/zformat.cxx method SvNumberformat::GetOutputString(double fNumber,...) the case NUMBERFORMAT_SCIENTIFIC However, as I can't reproduce the problem here I'd consider that the very last resort. Maybe rebuilding the zformat.obj object file, linking and replacing svtmi.dll in the installation already helps? Eike -- OOo/SO Calc core developer. Number formatter stricken i18n transpositionizer.

Re: [sc-dev] About i46681 and IF()
Hi Yue,

Really long time no see. :)
Our network ultimately works today :-/,
and I was sorry that we can not talk on IRC.
No problem. We'll meet again next week. If you feel the need to discuss
things in between, we could arrange some day where I could be available
on the channel before I leave home.
I have fixed the problem we mentioned on last IRC,
and the work on i66930 is getting progress too.
Fine, good to hear.
but, seeing the code, I found 2 problems:
1. in sc\source\core\tool\interpr5.cxx, void ScInterpreter::ScMatRef(),
the branch of if (ScMatrix::IsStringType( nMatValType)).
I think we should do if (ScMatrix::IsEmptyPathType( nMatValType)) first,
because of SC_MATVAL_EMPTYPATH = SC_MATVAL_EMPTY | 0x08,
which means if value type is emptypath,
ScMatrix::IsEmptyType( nMatValType) will also return true.
Actually not, see scmatrix.hxx:
/// Empty, but not empty path or any other type.
inline static bool IsEmptyType( ScMatValType nType )
{
return (nType SC_MATVAL_EMPTY) == SC_MATVAL_EMPTY;
}
/// Empty path, but not empty or any other type.
inline static bool IsEmptyPathType( ScMatValType nType )
{
return (nType SC_MATVAL_EMPTYPATH) == SC_MATVAL_EMPTYPATH;
}
2. a question.
also in ScMatRef().
pDok-GetNumberFormatInfo( nCurFmtType, nCurFmtIndex, aAdr, pCell );
nFuncFmtType = nCurFmtType;
nFuncFmtIndex = nCurFmtIndex;
my question is why we use that cell's type?
if we need a value, but the cell's type is logical, the result would be wrong.
Note that, unlike Excel, you can format any nmeric value as boolean, it
displays FALSE for the value 0 and TRUE for any other value. Anyway, the
inheritance indeed looks questionable. It is in there since times when
we didn't have different value types in a matrix, probably for user
convenience so a format set at the upper left cell is inherited. Which
also isn't correct in all cases and would had to be overridden with
a different format if needed.
I'd suggest to remove that, but only for the matrix case, not the cell
value in the if(!pMat) case. I guess it could even be replaced by
setting a boolean number format type if ScMatrix::IsBooleanType(
nMatValType) says so. However, for now please keep it and file
a separate issue so we can properly track the change, as it would result
in different behavior for already existing documents.
For i46681 and i66930, later I will submit patches,
before that I will test them.
I know you are very busy now,
you can take your time to reply, I'm not in a hury. :)
Well, I'm taking my time today to do some administrative tasks waiting,
including writing some mails ;)
