--- Comment #8 from k...@cox.net --- 2015-01-21, thinking about doing income taxes soon, installed Open Office 4.1.1, Gnumeric 1.12.6, and Calligra Sheets 2.7.2 and determined that this problem exists in all of them; only Excel does this correctly. A one month error in a date can be the difference between Short-Term and Long-Term. If you believe that the I.R.S. doesn't care about that difference or would accept the excuse "I used OfficeLibre/Open Office/Gnumeric/Calligra Sheets, which has a bug in the DATE() function", dream on... Since LibreOffice/OpenOffice, Gnumeric and Calligra have been around for years, and all still give wrong answers, not only does there appear to be no suitable alternative to Microsoft Excel for serious spreadsheet use, but the resources being applied to creating one are being spread in so many different directions that none is likely to work in the foreseeable future. The result is that users who want to change to get away from the hook-them-and-then-soak-them philosophy of commercial software development and marketing, can't; they have no viable alternative. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
