--- Comment #4 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu)
---
The issue was brought up before on Ask.LO, where Eike already commented on
it[1].
He explained there that MS Excel allows negative values even though both the MS
documentation[2] and the OOXML specification[1] say it is not allowed.
Closing as "not our bug" (see even MS Office users reporting it[4]), but it
would be good to have it mentioned in our documentation.[5]
