Eike,
The spreadsheet implementation sign(r)==sign(d) brings funny result for rest as
it happens in excel2003; if you implement his rule for the rest without taking
into account the quotient you really do something wrong.
Excel really put the rest of the same sign of the divisor, but doing so the
condition a=qd+r is not satisfied in the example written in previous reporting.
Whatever is the way you want to solve this issue, please save the math and do
not follow excel2003 as -5!=5 and 5!=-5.
In any case it will bring incompatibilities with excel's bugs; but the question
then is: should be openoffice compatible with excel at bugs level ?
Please note that gnumeric, to cut the gordian knot, doesn't seem to have a
rest/remainder function.

Thanks,
Romolo
