(3) wouldn't be an option as long as we don't decide to reorganize the categorization, which David also mentioned. The current categorization lists functions for Excel compatibility, so people find the functions where they are used to. I think (1) would be best as all 4 GAMMA* functions would be grouped together, pointing the user to the existence of the new GAMMA function. Even if that would add to the "improper" categorization. Putting only GAMMA into Mathematical and leaving GAMMALN in Statistical could be somewhat confusing, I guess. > Does the GAMMA function need a name in Resource > RID_SC_FUNCTION_NAMES_ENGLISH? Yes, as those names are used to store in ODF <1.2 format. Also the XFunctionAccess API still uses them for compatibility. > If yes, which name should be used? In > general, where can I find which names are the correct ones for ODF v1? For new functions simply use the name as defined in ODFF. Older OOo versions not knowing a function wouldn't be able to compile and interpret the formula anyway. Eike -- OOo/SO Calc core developer. Number formatter stricken i18n transpositionizer.
