------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Oct 11 02:40:37 -0700 2005 ------- test made with OOo 2.0 rc2 Function of function do not work in a case I use in all my Excel sheet (this avoids trouble when inserting a line just above a SOMME): When I open with OOo an Excel sheet containing =SOMME(B1:DECALER(B7;-1;0)) [my native language is french.I suppose that english tranlation is =SUM (B1:OFFSET(B7;-1;0))] I get Err :508 If I try to enter such formula directly in OOo, letters are changed to =SOMME(b6:decaler(B11;-1;0)) and I get #NOM ? Comment 1: I allready pushed out this error 1,5 year ago for OOo1.1.4.(issue #42678). I was not completely convinced by the answer, it did explain in my mind why the result was not the same when coming from Excel or typing directly in OOo. But I hoped correction would come. Comment 2: THIS IS A BLOCKING POINT TO DEFINITEVELY MOVE TO OOo, AND TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE and COMPANIES TO DO IT. Because: - this doesn't allow a current compatibily with MS Office, which is [unfortunately] the standard today - It's difficult to trust a software where such bugs are not rapidly corrected, and specificaly in a major release. An other consequence is to stop the possibility to move to Linux for personal computing, as they would be no more backup with Microsoft Office. I regret that so much and so good efforts from all your team and contributors could remain unused. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
