Hello everyone,
I just noticed the following formula in one of the issues:
"=IF(AND((ISERROR(SEARCH("Pass",$F8))),
(ISERROR(SEARCH("Warn",$F8))),
(ISERROR(SEARCH("Closed",$F8)))),0,1)"
And this only because SEARCH() returns an ERROR if the string is not found.
[http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=91146]
How many examples should I provide to get the developers implement an
alternative Search function that returns 0 IF the string is not found.
The explanation that this is different than Excel is strange considering
issue 5658, which is definitely a more severe inconsistency than this
one [http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5658].
I can live even with a different name for the function, but forcing
users (which are often unsuspecting of better alternatives) to use such
complex and error prone formulas is rather strange.
Sincerely,
Leonard

I started migrating CWS odff05 from CVS (currently resynced to m31
there) to SVN, and then will rebase it to m36 when available. I'll give
you a heads up when the CWS will be ready for further development.
m36 took longer than I thought it would, but now it's ready and CWS
odff05 is rebased to m36. Compiled fine on Linux/x86 and Solaris/SPARC,
Daniel is currently building Windows.
I thought (ignorance ;-) ) that odff implementation was finished in 3.0
Now I see this mail and in eis:
http://tools.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/cws.ShowCWS?logon=true&Id=7310&Path=DEV300%2Fodff05
As you know, I've done some work to inform Dutch users about the
changes coming with odff. It is however not mentioned on
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/features/3.0/ ...
And now I understand there will be more.
Can you pls tell what you expect about features / time line / impact
for users?
Then I it is time for the marketing & documentation project, to
prepare better info for the users.
Thanks,
Cor
