That's because mathematically, 0^-2 = 1/(0^2) = 1/0. "indeterminate" is fine. The tricky case is (-3)^1.5 and any situation where the POWER(a,b) algorithm determines that exp(log(a)*b) is the calculation to use and it happens that a <= 0. OpenFormula leaves the case where a <=0 and b is not an integer to be implementation-defined. I notice Excel 2013 (Preview) produces #NUM! for POWER(-3,1.5). There should certainly be an error for Calc, whatever its particular code is. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
