Our proposal for the function wizard:-

function description:
calculates the probability of a sample mean greater than the mean of
the given sample.

first parameter
The given sample, drawn from a normally distributed population

second parameter
The known mean of the population

third parameter
The known standard deviation of the population. If omitted, the standard
deviation of the given sample is used.

Hi Regina

I think you mean 'z-score' rather than 'z-core'.

For your short form version, we really should make clear that this is a sample,
not the entire population.

There's a real problem understanding the function, because Excel has described
it incorrectly, and it also doesn't work as you might expect.

So my inclination is to use more words, rather than try to be succinct. I do
find the diagrams helpful for this, to highlight the difference between
one-sided and one/two-tailed. I'd suggest that it's helpful to be very clear
that this is not a one- or two-sided test - although I'd also be happy if we
simutaneously avoided the 'one-sided' label.

I'm not sure that's exactly right. The p-value can refer to the value on the
vertical axis, whereas it's the area (cumulative probability) that is returned.

Because Excel has got their description wrong in the past (and may well still
have it wrong), and because the function returns an unconventional result  it
might be better to be *really* clear about this, with diagrams. The stuff I
wrote in 2008 is here:

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_ZTEST_function

and you'd be very welcome to use it in ODFF of course

I've done a write-up on:

which links to a derivation of the formula. I've not had a chance to examine

A forum poster has imported from Excel:
SMALL(INDEX(J2:AG2;;F2):AG2;1) 

where F2 contains a number

which doesn't work in Calc, even as
SMALL(INDEX(J2:AG2;1;F2):AG2;1)   (in case the missing parameter is a problem)

INDEX does return a reference - eg ROW(INDEX(...)) works OK.

I _think_ that the range operator ':' is probably not understanding the single 
cell reference returned by INDEX(J2:AG2;1;F2)

More information:
A1: =TRUE displays 1 - not good
A2: =TRUE() displays TRUE
ISLOGICAL(A1) displays FALSE - good
ISLOGICAL(A2) displays TRUE - good

Change the format of A1:A2 to number; both show 1; ISLOGICAL does not change...
..until you hit hard recalculate Shift-Ctrl-F9 - then -FALSE

Change the format of A1:A2 to boolean; both show TRUE; ISLOGICAL does not 
change...
..until you hit hard recalculate Shift-Ctrl-F9 - then -TRUE

I see the absence of a separate type for logical values as a serious weakness; 
there are many similar examples. But of course it's a lot of work to remedy.

Confirmed on Ooo2.4.1 Win XP

=CELL(FILENAME;D2) does not update when the filename is changed with a Save

However it does update on Ctrl-Shift-F9 and if the document is closed and re-

I think MODE is actually behaving as intended - as documented (a) in ODFF and 
(b) here:

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_MODE_functi
on

and also as Excel behaves.

Might this be more of an enhancement request?

You can find out if there is only one mode by:
=MAX(A1:A8)-MODE(MAX(A1:A8)-A1:A8)=MODE(A1:A8)

where A1:A8 contain the data, but I accept it's a bit messy

or better:

In MS Excel, DELTA/GESTEP functions don't exist.

They're categorised as 'engineering functions' in Excel - so yes, Excel does 
have them.

A number of functions, including PRICEDISC use GetDiffDate() to calculate the 
result.

GetDiffDate() doesn't implement basis 0 (NASD) correctly - it makes no attempt 
to change month end dates.
Example:
PRICEDISC(2009-07-31;2009-08-5;2%;100;0) returns
99.9778 based on 30+5-31 = 4 days difference in dates (!)
Excel correctly returns
99.9722 (5 days difference in dates)

(note that the inverse function YIELDDISC uses a difference routine (!) - 
YEARFRAC - I have not investigated that yet)

Reference: NASD implementation was also the subject of issue 84934 - for 
DAYS360.

PS: GetDiffDate() also gives the days in the *first year* - this is often not 
what is required, and is different from Excel. I'm not yet sure how this should 
be specified.

I guess there are ODFF implications here?

Both these functions involve deciding how many days are in a year (and more 
particularly, *which* year); Calc and Excel do it slightly differently in basis 
1.

Calc uses the year containing the settlement date.
Excel is more subtle - I think it is documented in OOXML, but I'm not sure if 
Excel actually follows that exactly. David Wheeler has done some work on this 
for ODFF. It's something like 366 only if Feb29 is included, otherwise 365.

Examples:
INTRATE(2008-09-02; 2009-03-02; 1000; 1080;1) 
RECEIVED(2008-09-01; 2009-03-31; 1; 5%; 1)

This is not of great importance - but worth making a note of I hope.

Adding a MS reference to this issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/916004

When you use the DAYS360 function to calculate the number of days between two 
dates, an unexpected value is returned.

The article continues:
when you use the DAYS360 function with a start date of February 28 and with an 
end date of March 28, a value of 28 days is returned. You expect a value of 30 
days to be returned for every full month.

and I point out that you do actually expect 28 days, not 30. Possibly MS are 
aware of their bug, but their authors have not explained it properly.

ODDFPRICE(1990-06-01; 1995-12-31; 1990-01-01; 1990-12-31; 6%; 5%; 1000; 
1; 1)
gives an error.

ODDFYIELD(1990-06-01; 1995-12-31; 1990-01-01; 1990-12-31; 6%; 790; 100; 
1; 1)
gives an error.

ODDLPRICE(1990-06-01; 1995-12-31; 1990-01-01; 2%; 1.5%; 100; 4; 1)
is inaccurate; gives same result as 
ODDLPRICE(1990-06-01; 1995-12-31; 1990-01-01; 2%; 1.5%; 100; 1; 1).

ODDLYIELD(1990-06-01; 1995-12-31; 1990-01-01; 2%; 103; 100; 4; 1)
is inaccurate; gives same result as
ODDLYIELD(1990-06-01; 1995-12-31; 1990-01-01; 2%; 103; 100; 1; 1).

It turns out that this was discussed in the forums at least as early as 2005, 
but no-one raised an issue.

[sc-issues] [Issue 91870] PMT function with extremel y small rates - #VALUE!

The formula for PMT (payment at end) is

[p(1+r)^n - f]r / ((1+r)^n-1) where

n = number of periods
p = principal (the capital sum borrowed) 
f = the final balance owing after n periods 
r = interest rate (fixed rate) per period

derived here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_Derivation_
of_Financial_Formulas#PMT

With extremely small values for r we get too close to divide by 0

Example:
=PMT(1E-016;10;1000;0;0) gives #VALUE!
Note that
=PMT(4.567E-015;10;1000;0;0) is OK - larger, but with more displayed digits - 
so we have not run out of precision with the rate.

Excel has the same problem, giving #DIV/0!.

The solution may be to trap low values and apply another algorithm, also 
provided on the linked page. rate=0 is trapped anyway.

This error will not arise in real life, so this should be low priority and I've 
marked it enhancement rather than defect. It is bad to have a function that can 
be beaten though, and there should be a record of the fact.

This is an isolated problem - only affects the year when depreciation is 
capped. The function in most normal use is OK.

VDB(10;2;10;7;8) returns 971.52 (correct)
VDB(10;2;10;7.25;7.75) returns 3276.80 (incorrect - can't be more!)
Excel97 returns 0 - that's wrong too. Should be 971.52/2 I think.

I've just finished a writeup of this function that (I hope) clarifies it fairly 
well:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_VDB_functio
n
The graphs should help illustrate the situation.

Further to drensink's workaround:

=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(FIND(S;A1:A200))) in a cell

will count cells containing capital 'S' (no need for another column B1:B200).

(not a full solution of course, but might help someone)

You have a good point.

http://www.coventry.ac.uk/ec/~nhunt/pottel.pdf highlights a case where Excel's 
STDEV falls down. In fact Calc performs correctly with that data, so it might 
be better to simply call STDEV within ZTEST?

Thanks, Leonard
It's difficult to see exactly what R is calculating. I've tried to go back to 
basics to show that there is some logic/validity to Excel's method, and indeed 
that there is a clear bug with Calc, with the 3 parameter version.

I've tried to get z.test to work in R but failed after a brief struggle. What 
happens if you set 
alternative (Direction of the alternative hypothesis) to 'greater', or 'less' 
or even 'two.sided'? I think Excel produces a 'one-sided' (not 'one-tailed') 
test which might correspond to 'greater'.

Ah, I figured how to use z.test in R (over lunch ;). Yes, it does give the same 
results as Excel:
z.test(x,100,5,'greater')

Even with the mean on the other side 
y-c(110,105,105,100)
z.test(y,100,5,'greater')

I'm now convinced that 'one-sided' is the correct description for what Excel 
does - not one- or two- tailed.

z.test does the two-tailed test by default:-
=
 y-c(110,105,105,100)
 z.test(y,100,5)
One Sample z-test
data:  y 
z = 2, n = 4.0, Std. Dev. = 5.0, Std. Dev. of the sample mean = 2.5,
p-value = 0.0455
alternative hypothesis: true mean is not equal to 100 
95 percent confidence interval:
 100.1001 109.8999 
sample estimates:
mean of y 
  105 
==
p-value of 0.0455 is exactly twice what Excel gives - which is right, because 
when the sample mean is above the population mean Excel does the one-tailed 
test.

In summary this all hangs together.

ODFF defines the Searched and Results parameters as 'Forced Array'.

Calc doesn't seem to handle for example
=LOOKUP(4; A1:C1*2; A3:C3)

where A1:C1*2 should be evaluated as an array formula. Gives error 504: 
function parameter is not valid.

Excel does handle this OK.

[It's possible that this could be added to issue 81214 ? ]

But:  or $0 in the Replace box do not insert an empty paragraph mark 

I think that's how the thing works - you found an empty *paragraph* but tried 
to insert a *paragraph mark*. The Application Help is rather sparse on this

Shift+Ctrl+F9 recalc all cells.
Try the second mode.

From my first post:
Even if I recalculate manually using F9 or Ctrl-Shift-
F9 the result does not change.

I've now adjusted the subject, because this seems not to affect other functions 
that respond to regex, such as HLOOKUP and COUNTIF. These functions do 
recalculate following a change in regex setting.
The problem also applies to changes in 'whole cell matching' (set on same 
dialog as regex):
A1, A2 have Fred, red
A3 has=MATCH(red;A1:A2;0)

When I found Calc 'helping me' with AutoInput, I had no idea how to turn the 
feature off. Unless you already know the feature is called AutoInput, it's very 
difficult to find in the Help.

So I vote to have it off by default.

I agree that being unable to enable/disable regex in a cell is a bad thing. 
Same thing applies to 'whole cell matching'.

Possibly worse is that the regex setting is rather hidden away, so the user may 
be unaware that his results are wrong.

One way around this would be to introduce a new function, say SETTINGS, similar 
to STYLE. Whereas STYLE sets the cell colours etc, SETTINGS could control 
regex, whole_cell_matching and maybe other things.

Unfortunately STYLE was designed to return 0, which means it has to be wrapped 
in another function (eg T() or IF()) when used with text. STYLE appears to be 
unique to Calc.

A typical construction with SETTINGS if it also returned 0 might be:

=IF(SETTINGS(1; 0); ; HLOOKUP())

An alternative if inline arrays were changed to be able to accept formulae:
={HLOOKUP(); SETTINGS(1; 0)} entered in scalar mode.

I'm not entirely sure this is all good - there might be implications with ODFF, 
which has global regex/wildcard flags I think. I'm merely sharing an idea - a 
possible solution.

A1, A2 have blue, red 
A3 has =MATCH(r.d;A1:A2;0) 

This should return 2 if regular expressions are enabled and #N/A if not. 

In OOo2.4 WinXP I've found that if I enable/disable regular expressions the 
result does not change. Even if I recalculate manually using F9 or Ctrl-Shift-
F9 the result does not change. (Other formulae, eg =RAND(), do recalculate).

The only way to get the change seems to be to edit A1 or A2.

I'm almost sure this did not happen in OOo2.3 - that recalculation always 
occurred.

Another (experienced) user has confirmed the behaviour on a separate machine. 
Quite a serious problem I think - possibly P2.

AB
1   30.7
2   40.3

=ABS(A1:A2) entered in cell C3 in scalar (non-array) mode correctly returns 
#VALUE! because there is no intersection between C3 and A1:A2 

=PROB(A1:A2;B1:B2;A1:A2) entered in cell C3 in scalar (non-array) mode should 
surely also return #VALUE! for the same reason, but returns 0.7. It's as if 
A1:A2 is treated as an inline array not a range.

A similar thing happens with FORECAST.

These two functions have ForceArray parameters as well as a single parameter, 
which may be relevant. The only other function with this combination is TTEST.

Not the most important issue, so I've suggested P4. However it doesn't seem to 
comply with ODFF so ought to be on the list.

Couldn't reproduce the problem as described in the last description by drking
(OOo3.0 dev build, dev300m7 on WinXP.

On OOo2.4 WinXP, I also cannot reproduce the problem I described. 
Nor can I reproduce the problem with the invalid rtf file.

Presumably something has changed.

One for the Help team (not sure that 'ui' is the right subcomponent?):

I'm pretty sure that the existing Help text describes the function incorrectly 
and provides the wrong formula. It doesn't tie in with ODFF apart from anything 
else.

The version at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_COMBINA_fun
ction
is I hope more accurate.

--- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Apr  4 06:13:14 +

It's great that this is now working in OOo2.4

However, rather than ignoring spaces within inline arrays, spaces are now 
removed.

So =SUM( { 1; -3; 2 } )
becomes =SUM( {1;-3;2} ) in the formula bar

This is a new behaviour for the user; for example
=SUM( ABS( -2 ); 9  )
preserves that formatting exactly in the formula bar.

I'd suggest that we should either allow the user's spaces or not - but that it 
should be consistent.

I personally like to see some spaces sometimes - it makes the thing more 
readable.

=STDEVA(red;1;2) gives Err:504 (parameter)
=STDEVA(0;1;2) gives 1 (OK)
=MAXA(red;1;2) is OK
=COUNTA(red;1;2) is OK
=AVERAGEA(red;1;2) is OK
=VARA(red;1;2) gives Err:504 (parameter)

ODFF (Dec07) is unclear what should happen, but it is fairly consistently 
unclear:-

STDEVA( { Any sample }+ )
cells with text are converted to 0; other types are ignored.

AVERAGEA( { Any N }+ )
Cells containing text values are treated as if they contained number 0.

MAXA( { Any N }+ )
cells with text are converted to 0

The implication is that a text parameter should be treated as 0, the same as a 
cell containing text. Really ODFF should be more specific - but whatever, Calc 
should treat text in these xxxA functions in the same way.

This is not a burning issue - but I think is worthwhile sorting out. People 
experimenting with these functions to find out how they work could easily try 
the examples I give.

Many thanks

note the difference between cells with textual content and literal text 
arguments

yep, thought I had ;)

Excel97 also fails with eg STDEVA(red,1,2). 

Also, the online Help ref for Excel 2007 says it only allows text 
representations of numbers (and converts them), but Excel97 converts any text 
*in a cell* (including numbers) into 0 - so I think there has been a change in 
behaviour there.

In A1:A3 we have 0, 1, dog

RANK(A3;A1:A3) returns 2

change A1 to 1 and
RANK(A3;A1:A3) returns #VALUE!

Excel returns #VALUE! in both cases.

Happily Calc does *not* change the ranking of other numbers in either case. The 
text is still ignored, so this is a minor issue.

However (probably not relevant but interesting) Excel (97) has very similar odd 
behaviour with logical values (it includes TRUE only if there is another 1 in 
the numberlist). Calc always includes logical values.

With a column headed Result containing {9|4|16}:
{=SQRT('Result')}
will return an array {3|2|4}

The trouble is that if you then add a number onto the end of the column, Result 
is a different size, but the output array size of course remains unchanged.

It's horribly messy from a user's viewpoint - are you really *really* sure you 
want to attack this? ;)

You might consider simply not allowing labels in array formulae - is that what 
Excel does? The whole concept of arrays seems to me to be inelegant and messy 
(yes, we can blame 'the other spreadsheet'), so there has to be a realistic 
limit on what the user can expect from them.

{=ISLOGICAL({TRUE;cat;dog})} (ie as an array formula) returns 
{FALSE;TRUE;TRUE}

In fact ISLOGICAL seems to return FALSE then a sequence of TRUEs when in an 
array formula with any size array_parameter.

I raise this for the User Experience team to review, as discussed with Eike and 
Uwe.

Functions are allocated to categories in the Help and in the Function Wizard. I 
am re-writing the Help in the Wiki:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_Functions_l
isted_by_category

and it is clear that the current categories need revision. For 
example: 'Spreadsheet' does not describe the contents of that category; some 
functions appear in different categories in the existing Help and the Function 
Wizard.

There are two candidate models for categories:
Excel:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/CH100645021033.aspx
ODFF (not yet stable):
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/documents.php?wg_abbrev=office-formula

I prefer ODFF - with the functions listed on one page in the Wiki it's easy to 
find what you want, whether or not you know the function name.

But this should be a formal decision. Would the User Experience team put this 
on their list of things to look at please ?

Thank you

A1 = 6
A2 = 5
A3 = 9

{=OFFSET($A$1;ROW(A1:A3)-1;0)} as an array expression correctly returns
{6|5|9}
But
{=OFFSET($A$1;ROW(A1:A3)-1;0;1;1)} as an array expression returns
{6|#VALUE!|#VALUE!}

The only difference is the inclusion of the row/col size - which default to 1 
if omitted.

=

{=ROWS(OFFSET($A$1;0;0;ROW(A1:A3);1))} as an array expression should (I'm 
fairly sure) return
{1|2|3} but returns {3}

Excel97 gets it wrong (differently) too.

[yes, this isn't a sensible thing to do ;) - but is a simpler demonstration of 
something that stopped me doing what I wanted to.]

Later thought on the last case:
{=ROWS(OFFSET($A$1;0;0;ROW(A1:A3);1))} may fail at least partly because ROWS is 
not array-aware.

eg
{=INDIRECT(AROW(A1:A3))} produces an array result, but

{ROWS( INDIRECT(AROW(A1:A3)) )} does not. Should give {1|1|1} I think.

I don't know if ROWS *should* be able to handle arrays... ODFF does not seem to 
list functions that do and don't.  By rumour Microsoft have a list of which 
functions are array-aware in Excel - but it's well hidden.

In the ODFF draft 28Dec07 page 42 is:
2.2.3.2) If the argument data is 1 column wide the value in the corresponding 
row is used to evaluate all columns in the result matrix.
= {1|2} + {10;20|30;40} = {11;21|32;42}

whereas Calc returns {11|32}

Is this the same issue? Meaning it needs flagging for ODFF compliance?

ocIf you are the opinion that the TCS is incomplete please feel free to
enhance it. 

This arises because in the course of rewriting the Calc Function help I have 
come across issues that should have been caught by qa. I don't like raising new 
issues :(  - there are too many already.

My suggestions include the core examples already mentioned in this issue, plus 
some more complex ones. Hope that's useful.

Another case where Calc and Excel do not behave the same:
cell A1  0  
cell A2 =TRUE()

AVERAGE(A1:A2) returns 0.5 in Calc and 0 in Excel
Excel ignores logical values in AVERAGE by design. Calc cannot, because it has 
no distinct type.

I wonder if it would be useful if the qa test was a little more rigorous? For 
instance:
*the OP's attachment shows an undefined name nested within a function
*my own comment about ISERROR(CHOOSE(0;Apple;Orange))

It might be useful to try to break the thing rather than prove it works

In addition:

=GESTEP(A1;-2) where A1 contains xxx (text) returns 1.

Presumably the same thing.

If cell A1 contains dog (text) and cell B1 contains 0:

DELTA(A1;B1) returns 1
DELTA(B1;A1) returns Err:502

OK, this is not the most important issue in the world, but for my money this 
function ought to trap *any* non-numeric parameter and give an error. The 
function is mathematical (Kronecker delta), defined just for numbers I believe.

In ODFF it seems to be defined just for numbers, but I can't figure out if that 
means it *must* give an error for non-numbers.

DELTA(dog;0) does return an error.

There may be some confusion here? In Calc CHOOSE *will* return a reference:
=SUM(CHOOSE(1;B4:B5;B5))
works fine

I think the difficulty may be that Calc does not expect a function after the 
colon in a range:
=SUM(b4:indirect(b5))
gives a #NAME? error, even though INDIRECT always returns a reference. Calc 
seems to be trying to recognise indirect as a named cell.

I am unable to name a range that includes non-consecutive cells.

From issue 25769:
 Calc doesn't allow a multi-selection to be defined as a name

I also lose any ranges that are named when importing from excel.

I am able to import ranges from Excel97 to OOo2.3.1 (WinXP). They do not show 
in the Data-Select Range... dialogue - but they do work in formulae. This even 
applies to non-contiguous ranges, so having imported an Excel generated file 
with a non-contiguous range called 'myxlrange' I can do =AREAS(myxlrange) to 
count the number of non-contiguous ranges.

Unfortunately, I can then enter the same name 'myxlrange' in the Data-Define 
range dialogue, which enables me to select that new range via Data-Select 
Range... - however any formulae still use the Excel defined range.

webweaver64, are you able to confirm that you get this behaviour too? I'm 
anxious to be sure that this is not just my system.

You can turn it off.

I tried everything, including View-Toolbars in context, but since my post I've 
upgraded a notch and reinstalled, and it now does turn off. So withdraw my 
comment.

I do still hate the default behaviour - which assumes that the context of a 
click in a bullet is that of editing (rather than the surely more common 
navigation or review), but it's apparently not going to change.

 Calc doesn't allow a multi-selection to be defined as a name

Yes, I know, but the OP said:

 Presently, the only way of defining a non-contiguous named range is to enter 
the range's specification into the 'Assigned to' box manually.

which is wrong, isn't it? There isn't a way within Calc.


Actually a non-contiguous named range imported from Excel does seem to work, 
more or less. eg AREAS(mynamedrangefromexcel)1
---
 The implementation of the union operator per issue 32341 doesn't change that 
a multi-selection isn't accepted by the Names Define dialog.

That's a shame. I was hoping to reduce the number of outstanding issues.

 + means match one or more of preceding character - not one or more of () 
group

Sorry, that is nonsense - + can apply to a group. Too early in the morning.

But I think the problem is still with that bit of it

\(.)+\ \1

\(.)+\ will match everything it can, creating a large number of groups, each 
one being a single character - which is not what is wanted.

I believe that up to now Calc has been unable to specify unions between ranges, 
even by entering the range's specification into the 'Assigned to' box manually. 
There hasn't been a union operator.

However ODFF requires this and it seems to be targetted for OOo3.0 under issue 
32341, with the work having already been done. The new union operator would 
appear to be ~, as ODFF.

This issue and issues 25770, 25771 could therefore disappear.

Just trying to tie things together; hope that's helpful.

I'm not convinced that this is a valid issue.
We should leave expressions with ([:space:]) out of it, as this is not a valid 
regex syntax - it works, but shouldn't, and is a known bug in OOo (see Regex 
Howto)

With \(.)+\ \1
+ means match one or more of preceding character - not one or more of () group.

If we use

\(.+)\ \1

the thing works correctly (yes it does find all 4 the's together, which it 
should being greedy)

Hope to help

Excel2003 probably produces #VALUE because it doesn't understand 0 as a

When someone looks at this, it would be useful to know exactly what field=0 is 
*supposed* to do.. does it count any row which has a number in any column, or 
any cell containing a number, or ...

OK - I've evidently misunderstand the aim of ODFF, which is seemingly not that 
documents can be interchanged between apps, but merely that formulas are the 
same. No prob now I know, although the Help has to be more wordy: returns a 
date-time serial number which may be formatted as a date, as opposed to the 
expected returns a date.

@er  (sorry to burden you further...)

ODFF 15Nov07 says:
Syntax: DATEVALUE( Text D )
Returns: Date

Calc seems to return the serial number as a number, not a date.
This is different from say TODAY and DATE which should and do return the serial 
number as a date - and which Calc displays automatically as a date.

cf EDATE which should and does return a serial number as a number (don't know 
why, but that's what ODFF says. NB the Calc Help is wrong here, but I'm dealing 
with that).

Just to be clear - the calculation of the serial number is correct - this is 
purely about the expected display format and ODFF compliance.

@ er

OOo Calc Help:
DAYS(Date_2;Date_1)   Date_1 is the start date, Date_2 is the end date. 

ODFF (15Nov07):
Syntax: DAYS( DateParam StartDate ; DateParam EndDate )

So Calc has the parameters round the wrong way - but this does not appear on 
the Calc/ODFF Implementation/Schedule at
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Calc/ODFF_Implementation/Schedule

I've classed this a defect as it will become one when Calc claims to be ODFF 
compliant in OOo3.0. Don't know what can be done, as many existing spreadsheets 
will use DAYS already.

Reading the ODFF spec (as at 15Nov07) it seems that this arises because Calc 
does not have distinct number and logical types. The spec allows a 'level 1' 
application to return TRUE from ISNUMBER(TRUE) - but  the implication is that a 
level 3 app like Calc should  handle this as Excel (if my assumption that level 
1 = 'small group' and level 3 = 'large group' is correct - the spec is not 
clear, at least to me...).

It's worse than I thought:

=ISNUMBER(TRUE) displays in the input bar as =ISNUMBER(1), and returns the 
result TRUE. Similarly =ISLOGICAL(TRUE) returns FALSE.

Also =ISNUMBER(A1), where A1 contains TRUE, returns the result TRUE. Excel 
correctly returns FALSE, because A1 contains a logical value not a number. 
However =ISLOGICAL(A1) works correctly. 

As this is now a compatibility issue, I have changed the Summary (was: logical 
function =NOT(TRUE) displays as =NOT(1) ) and raised priority to P3

Enter =NOT(TRUE) in a cell. The result is FALSE (correct) but the display in 
the formula bar is =NOT(1).

This is a small matter, but anyone trying this would most likely be trying to 
learn, and would be confused. Excel correctly displays =NOT(TRUE).

Same bug in other logical functions: AND, OR, IF

With B1:B10, starting at B1, and filling in numbers consecutively:

=OFFSET(B1;SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(B1:B10))-1;0)

returns the last number filled in. Does that help? 

There are 2 hidden costs when adding new functions:
1. confuses the user (there are hundreds of functions already for a user to 
wade through)
2. introduces incompatibilty - so the spreadsheet cannot be exported to say 
Excel

I'd be very cautious about any new function...

DCOUNT should only count cells with numbers, same as COUNT

  A   B
1 pet name
2 dog fido
3 cat meow
4 dog rover
5
6 pet name
7 dog

DCOUNT(A1:B4;0;A6:B7) returns 1, with not a number in sight

although
DCOUNT(A1:B4;2;A6:B7) returns 0, correctly

The use of 0 here is poorly explained in the Help (I'm re-writing it 
currently), and it is not compatible with Excel, at least with older versions. 
But in any event it should only count numbers.

[sw-issues] [Issue 47740] annoying toolbars behavior

Even more annoying than not being able to pin this toolbar, is not being able 
to turn it off. Infuriating, it appears and covers up the text so you can't 
read what you've written as you try to edit a bullet.

@kla
I believe that regina's point is that she has also found the bug:
If you do not use F9 at least one time, it is not updated.

So two of us can reproduce it. If you can't reproduce it, it may be specific to 
some systems? I'm using XP, and have again verified the bug exists.

If you decide that this is acceptable behaviour (ie that the chart does not 
update until F9 or an edit) I shan't fight you ;) but for now I've re-opened 
the issue for re-consideration. Many thanks.

@er
Thank you - that will be useful when explaining the rationale. 

@gudmund
There are close to 40 issues about regex, and they're all treated separately, 
so no - I'm afraid the other issues you mention are not fixed. The good news is 
that if OOo migrates to the ICU regex engine, many of the existing issues may 
be resolved at a stroke. Although (looking at the ICU regex spec) probably not 
all of them.

 Any volunteers for doing the specification?

It looks as if this needs someone who has done one before, and knows what is 
required.

btw note that the 3rd example on page 4 (Detail Spec) should be ([1-9]+) not 
([1-9]).

I'll volunteer to update the wiki regex HowTo, unless someone beats me to it.

But I am very puzzled why $1 - $9 has been chosen, rather than /1 - /9 as in 
the Search For box. In the HowTo this is going to look silly - along the lines 
of, well when you want a backref in the Search For you use /1 but in the 
Replace with box 

Could someone enlighten me if there's a good reason? Or will $1 - $9 now work 
in the Search For box as well?

Not knocking the effort - it's a good step forward. Thank you.

What I actually wrote in the regex HowTo 
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Regular_Expressio
ns_in_Writer was:

Please be careful when using the Replace All button. There are a few rare 
occasions when this will give unexpected results. For example to remove the 
first character of every paragraph you might 'Search for' ^. and 'Replace with' 
nothing; clicking 'Replace All' now will wipe out *all* your text, instead of 
just the first character of each paragraph. Issue 82473 discusses this. The 
workaround is to 'Find All', then 'Replace'; perhaps the safest way is not to 
use the 'Replace All' button at all with regular expressions.

I'm afraid it does make OOo regex look rather silly...  but the point of the 
HowTo is to describe what regex actually do - because people keep re-
discovering all the woes for themselves.

At some point someone will have to bite the bullet and tackle the Great Regex 
Rethink - if that is likely to be soon then work on the existing code might be 
wasted - so that must influence any decision to work on this issue now.

I'm sorry to disagree, but the 2.3 Help says:
[:space:] represents a whitespace character such as space
and the implementation does not do that.

So it *is* a bug, either with Help or the implementation. Someone needs to do 
something!

How about in Help:
[:space:] represents a space character (but not other whitespace characters)

as a temporary measure, to inform people who use other regex like in Perl that 
do it differently.

From the regex wiki HowTo:
^$ will match an empty paragraph, which can be replaced by say nothing, in 
order to remove the empty paragraph. Note that ^red$ matches a paragraph with 
only 'red' in it - replacing this with nothing leaves an empty paragraph - the 
paragraph marks at either end are not replaced. It may help to regard ^$ on its 
own as a special syntax, unique to OOo. Unfortunately, because OOo has taken 
over this syntax, it seems you cannot use ^$ to find empty cells in a table 
(nor empty Calc cells).

We ought to be able to find empty table cells, hence this enhancement request. 
I guess this might be destined for the Great Regex Rethink when and if that 
happens.

(Note that issue 44688 is about this behaviour in Calc. I raise this as a new 
issue, because the response to issue 44688 is that the behaviour is by design 
and otherwise might cause performance troubles - there is no such worry here 
with Writer table cells.)
