------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Mar 19 18:51:15 +0000 2007 ------- I had a problem with the rate() function in a spreadsheet that I originally designed in Excel but am now using in OpenOffice Calc (version 2.1). The Excel syntax is "rate(nper,pmt,pv,[fv],[type],[guess])". If you omit the pmt value in Excel (e.g. "rate(12,,-254,328)"), Excel will assume the pmt is zero and calculate the rate. When opened in Calc, the resulting formula is "rate(12;;-254;328)" which results in "Err:511". A global search & replace that searches for ";;" and replaces it with ";0;" will fix the formula, but it would be nice if Calc automatically converted the formula, replacing the missing pmt variable with a zero. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
