------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu May 26 00:57:38 -0700 2005 ------- Not sure if this should be a defect of enhancement, but here we go: when using the Mid() functiion in Excel, the resulting value takes the characteristics of the new string. E.g. Mid("123";2;1) results in 2. Excel recognises this as a number, therefore Mid("123";2;1)*3 results in 6. In Calc the result of a Mid function is always a text string. therefore Mid("123";2;1)*3 results in 0. I use this function to make a checkdigit function on our product codes. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
