Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc - Rate Function similar to Excel

Well, why not use the RATE function in Calc? It seems to take the same parameters as Excel do, are you saying it doesn't return the same values as Excel? Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg 2018-06-07 19:53 GMT+02:00 charles meyer : > Hi Folks, > > Excel is supposed to calculate the interest rate o

[libreoffice-users] Calc - Rate Function similar to Excel

2018-06-07 Thread charles meyer
Hi Folks, Excel is supposed to calculate the interest rate on an auto loan (not just total interest paid) in its Rate Function. This is used when the car dealer provides the loam amount, the monthly payment amounts, term (e.g. 48 months) but *not* the interest rate. Has anyone found a similar fu

Hi :) Ahh, swriter.exe, of course. It sounds like Write is a stand-alone program but LibreOffice/OpenOffice are not built that way. It is not like MS Office in that way. It is much more modular than that. LibreOffice and OpenOffice have a large core of code with libraries and other packages each

Hi :) I'm not clear exactly what you are trying to do or what you want. Any file that can be opened by LibreOffice should be able to open LO itself when yo8u just double-click on the file. If double-clicking a file opens a file in a program that you didn't want to use this time then try right-cli

Yes, I did try renaming the user-profile, to no effect. However, last night I downloaded the latest version of Firefox (60.0.2) and the problem seems to have gone away. I have not yet tried extensive testing, but in about 8 tries have not yet gotten a failure. This one baffles me. Bob McClur
