--- Comment #1 from Javen O'Neal <one...@apache.org> --- Hmm.. -2^0.5 could be interpreted as either -1*(2^0.5)≈0.707 or (-2)^0.5≈0+0.707i, with the latter being the commonly accepted interpretation in mathematics. Looks like if Excel interprets this as the former, that's a quirk in their implementation that we unfortunately have to mimick if we want to be compatible. For what it's worth, Google Sheets gives an imaginary number error. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@poi.apache.org
