Priority: medium
Bug ID: 65082
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: RATE() function produces different results as some
numbers of MS Office
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 3.5.7.2 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
>From downstream bug:
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Type "=RATE(50,35,-250,0)" on any cell, and press Enter.
The result should be 0.1398, but LibreOffice shows -1.9474!
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I'm using LibreOffice 3.5.7.2, Build ID: 350m1(Build:2), on Ubuntu 12.04,
64-bit version, with up-to-date packages.
Master shows the same -1.9474 result when last tested.
Note that the RATE() function is iterative and even docs of MS Office say they
might have zero or more solutions:

As differences in calculation are sensitive this still warrants investigation.
