Hi :) If you are not happy with Calc and looking for a reason to use something else then maybe try Gnumeric.
It is a specialist tool that focusses more on spreadsheeting functionality without having to worry about any other apps as it's a stand-alone tool. It co-operates well with LibreOffice/OpenOffice and others in the same eco-system. Brian's answer probably works in that too or (unlikely but theoretically possible) might need a little tweak for Gnumeric. I still think Mr Drago's post was to help explain Brian's answer rather than being intended as an answer in it's own right. It alerts us to the potential for a "fence post" error and that clarifies why Brian set his figures as he did. Now that the question has been extended to a greater sample it might be better to upload the problem file (or just the sheet) to Nabble or somewhere so that people can help identify the problem created by up-scaling the formula.
