------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed Oct 14 19:37:48 +0000 2009 ------- In Excel, it is possible to use the equation "=COUNTIF(<Range>,"")" to count the number of empty cells in the defined <Range> of cells. In OOo, however, this always results in a count of 0. As a result, Excel documents which use this equation to count empty cells will not calculate properly in OOo. It is possible to work around this issue by instead using the equation "=COUNTBLANK(<Range>)" So if I have the following table: #|A| 1|| 2|z| 3|z| 4|| 5|z| 6|=COUNTIF(A1:A5,"")| 7|=COUNTBLANK(A1:A5)| Then cell A6 will have a count of 0, while cell A7 will have a count of 2. If I open the same document as an .XLS in MS Word, both equations will count 2. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
