Re: [libreoffice-users] I want to add formulas and functions to calc
Hi :) So, a good oppotunity to get ahead of the game then. I guess there are add-on packages or something for MS Office that might not be so easy to find as our extensions website?

The long name is Present Value Interest Factor and Future Value Interest Factor. but apparently it was a add-in or something cause I remember it was =pvif(i,n) being i the interest and n the periods compounding.

Re: [libreoffice-users] I want to add formulas and functions to calc
well then, being that there's a lot of financial formulas we can make a extension of them. I'm not a programmer, but I can say which are the most used and how they are used, so that we as a community can beat excel at formulas. If theres someone willing to help the cause I am available.

Re: [libreoffice-users] I want to add formulas and functions to calc
that's the right formula. those were easy one, but I accepted that I may have been wrong, I saw those formulas on excel but maybe it was an extension, cause it did work as a function. My interest now is just adding formulas like these ones to the suite.

RE: [libreoffice-users] I want to add formulas and functions to calc
There should be care in naming extensions and avoiding collisions with OpenFormula and other extensions (implementation- or user-defined). It might be good to review the specification of OpenFormula in ODF 1.2 for all of the functions defined there. There may be OpenFormula functions of interest that are not yet implemented in LibreOffice Calc and it would, in those cases, be useful to implement them as part of the full set. Also, there needs to be agreement on how extensions not provided for in ODF are identified. I recommend against using org.openoffice simply because there would need to be some sort of joint arrangement to manage that as a shared namespace. Not a bad idea, but absent that it might be useful that one use a unique name prefix for LO-defined extensions (as opposed to user-defined functions). This is all to avoid collision of names among implementations when LibreOffice Calc documents are interchanged with other ODF-supporting spreadsheet implementations. For user-defined extensions, one might want to have a naming policy so those extensions don't collide as well. - Dennis E.
