Hi,
I have always wondered about the Euroconvert function. It seems redundant. Both
function calls convert 100 ATS into EUROs.
EUROCONVERT(100;"ATS";"EUR")
CONVERT(100;"ATS";"EUR")
What is gained by having this specific function EUROCONVERT? It has the same
number of arguments (inputs), as CONVERT so it is not simpler to call
EUROCONVERT than CONVERT. To me it only add confusion to have the EUROCONVERT
function, because it is only a conversion between two currencies, and I can
not see the need of having a special function only because one currency is in
Euros.
Oh, maybe this conversion enables use of outdated currencies. Currencies that
were used in before they were replaced by the Euro. The rates are maybe fixed
then from the time they were replaced by the Euro. But obviously the CONVERT
function can convert Austrian Shillings ATS and German Marks DEM, so still
EUROCONVERT seems redundant.

I agree. And I don't think this is the only case.
And there is another issue, I think there are several functions already
implemented and working but still not showing in the wiki, like LENB or
LEFTB.
Either that or I'm looking in the wrong place.
I'm using this table
<https://www.dropbox.com/s/1d8kuqpbwdye02n/Compared_Functions.ods> I
made to facilitate the further update of the help files, and it would be
nice having it with the correct functions and only those. If someone
knows how, please help.
Regards,
Pedro.

I do not understand the choice of _ADD. It does not seem to have
anything to do with addition.
Don't know either. This is probably one of those conventions from
ancient times that only a few people can explain...
The idea of the suffix _ADD is to use it for an EXCEL compliant
version of an ODF function, when the EXCEL variant calculates
different or has a different syntax.
Hi,
So CONVERT_ADD
<http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_CONVERT_ADD_function>
would be Excel-CONVERT?
And what about AOO CONVERT
<http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_CONVERT_function>
and EUROCONVERT
<http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FR/Calc:_fonction_EUROCONVERT>?
Using the Wiki they seem identical but, if I'm not mistaken, we should
use EUROCONVERT
<http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FR/Calc:_fonction_EUROCONVERT>.
