------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 26 19:22:36 +0000 2008 ------- As a advocate of OO.org and someone who has been hurt by this issue, I would like to add my $0.02. This issue has delayed the implementation of OO.org in our company by at least a year. It took me the longest time to figure out that the Excel spreadsheet we are getting from one of our critical vendors has this issue/bug/feature embedded in it. I have been using OO.org for several years myself and had never come across this issue. I guess I am a pretty sophisticated user so I wouldn't expect a text field to work in a calculation of any sort. Now that I know it is an issue, I can address it with my users and work with it. (Thank you cornouws for the extension) Here is my point, the OO developer community needs to address this one way or the other and get this into the roadmap for a future release. (3.0?) This is obviously an issue that needs to be prioritized. (this group has been discussing it for almost 6 years!, with dozens of duplicate issues entered) Personally, I would like it if Calc had a "Excel bugs Compatible" mode but, I would also support a notification of some sort to the issue (ideally, with a "hide all" option). In my case, if I got an error message or flag that was documented as this issue, I would have 250 users on OO.org today. Thank you all for your time and dedication to the OO.org project! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
