And I know hundreds of gnumeric user who do not care one iota about XL compatibility but expect functions to behave sensible. So if Gnumeric uses a function name that has a mathematical tradition preceding the founding of Microsoft it is reasonable that those users expect those functions to behave that way. This has nothing to do with me `understanding' XL functions, or having access to XL documentations and the XL software. (In fact I do.) As a gnumeric user I do not want to check XL docs. A typical user will not have access to XL docs, other than potentially being able to search the MS site. As you pointed out that the info one receives there is related to VBA (although only the URL indictates that.) And if I recall correctly, you suggested that I take this to the mailing list.
