It must be a new feature :) I advise you to test 3.3 RC1 and update to 3.3 when it is released. Version 3.4 is not ready for real work as stated in the release announcement http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/The-Document-Foundation-announces-LibreOffice-3-4-0-tt3019206.html -- View this messag

Actually I had never noticed that spreadsheets (all including Excel) ignore text values mixed with numbers. This worries me a lot! I work with 300.000+ line spreadsheets and if one line has a text value (because of a typo) I wouldn't notice that. Is there any setting that triggers a warning (inst

I have a solution to the specific problem, based on Michael D. Setzer II's suggestion (see below): =IF(AND(ISNUMBER(C227), ISNUMBER(B227)),IF(C227-B227>0,C227-B227,0), 0) =IF(ISNUMBER(F227),IF(ISNUMBER(E227),IF(ISNUMBER(G227),IF(F227-E227-G227>0,F227-E227-G227,0),IF(F227-E227>0,F227-E227,0

Hi Jack I couldn't make it work. In fact I just found out that array functions don't work in Lib (3.3 or 3.4) nor in OOo (3.4 beta) I don't know if it ever worked (I use it every now and then, so I couldn't say if I used it before in OOo/LO) but if it did, someone broke it :) Another bug to fix

Hi Stephan I will test this one later. With don't you simply name the range "Jack"? It's much easier to use and modify ;) I think that there is no need to know the second, third, etc text celss. You only need to know the first error to go there and fix it. One error at a time :) Thanks! -- View
