I have a sheet with many sumproducts (100+) and 13 tabs. 3.0.1 handles them
correctly but 3.1.1 mishandles them. 

I am collating data in many rows from external .xls sheets that my accountant
sends me. e.g. one row contains x data for each department, next row y data etc.
In 3.0.1 it collects the right data but 3.1.1 will in many cases return the
wrong data. It never consist of arbitrary data but mostly copies the data from
the same tab as the row above it even though I define it correctly e.g. I use
sumproduct in the following way (Path deleted):
=SUMPRODUCT('file:///07-aug_journal.xls'#$BT.$C$2:$C$50=P$2,'file://07-aug_journal.xls'#$BT.$D$2:$D$50)
Might return the figures from the Store or Bakery tab depending on what is
above. In thinking of it, it appears that Sumproduct only works once per column
and then it just copies the rest (But I might be wrong  

Further more, if I start using lookup or vlookup more bizare things come up. If
I only use lookup or vlookup the same problem happens but if I alternate the
fomulas it works ok.

The sumproduct problem only seems to happen if I am collecting data from tabs
that have only one possible reference and outcome. Not if it has to compare 2 or
more references and sum up.

The steps I have taken so far are:
- purged config files (Home and system wide) and reinstalled
- gone back and forth from 3.0.1 to 3.1.1 cleaning the home config's first
- latest was to upgrade from 3.0.1. Opening up the file first to make sure the
data was correct and not save the file. Then upgrade and deleting ~/.openoffice
and opening it up with 3.1.1 (results same, just by opening up the file it
displayed the wrong data. And then saving the file, opening it up again and
still the same problem.

In all cases the results were the same.

I would send the file with this but I am afraid that it is strictly
confidential. If there is interest for it I could send samples but I would have
to be asked.
