=STDEVA("red";1;2) gives Err:504 (parameter)
=STDEVA(0;1;2) gives 1 (OK)
=MAXA("red";1;2) is OK
=COUNTA("red";1;2) is OK
=AVERAGEA("red";1;2) is OK
=VARA("red";1;2) gives Err:504 (parameter)
ODFF (Dec07) is unclear what should happen, but it is fairly consistently
unclear:-
"STDEVA( { Any sample }+ )
cells with text are converted to 0; other types are ignored.
AVERAGEA( { Any N }+ )
Cells containing text values are treated as if they contained number 0.
MAXA( { Any N }+ )
cells with text are converted to 0"
The implication is that a text parameter should be treated as 0, the same as a
cell containing text. Really ODFF should be more specific - but whatever, Calc
should treat text in these xxxA functions in the same way.
This is not a burning issue - but I think is worthwhile sorting out. People
experimenting with these functions to find out how they work could easily try
the examples I give.
Many thanks
