Re: [libreoffice-documentation] GSOD 2020 - Possible Error in Help pages
Hi Ronnie,
Please link both pages to the ODF's WORKDAY function but explain that:
(1) Calc's WORKDAY function does not support the optional Workdays
argument that is specified in the ODF. Also, with regards to the issues
you raise concerning the example definitions of the work week, please
would you note them on the Discussion page for now and I'll look into
them when I review the page.
(2) Calc's WORKDAY.INTL function swaps the order of the optional
Holidays and Workdays arguments that are specified in the ODF; it also
extends the definition of the Workdays argument compared to the ODF.
Calc's WORKDAY.INTL function is consistent with Excel's function of the
same name for improved inter-operability.
Regards,
Steve

to link?
The function WORKDAY in help pages and also its implementation has only
the first 3 parameters whereas ODF section has 4 parameters. Also ODF
mentions passing {0;0;0;0;0;1;1} or {1;0;0;0;0;0;1} or even this
{0;0;0;1;1;1;1} as the Holiday parameter which when I tried does not
change the result.
I have stated that "Calc's implementation of WORKDAY function is not
strictly in accordance with ODF 1.2." in wiki.
Calc's function works just like MS Excel's function does.

Compare it with MS excel equivalent
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/beta-inv-function-e84cb8aa-8df0-4cf6-9892-83a341d252eb
.
Actually out function works the same way but the description of this
Number is wrong.
One eg to prove the point is : =BETA.INV(0.5,3,4,3,4) gives
3.42140719069071
But =BETA.INV(3.5,3,4,3,4) gives Err:502 which infact qualifies the
definition.
