I checked and saw that for some reason (I do not remember changing the setting) the "Search in" box was set to Formulas. So, I corrected that. Nothing else had been selected among the options. Still I had trouble finding things. Even in a newly created sheet with just two numbers, Calc refused to find the "111" I put somewhere. Fiddling with other things, I tried changing the font in the column where I was looking for a name. This had no effect. I have no idea what brought this on, put trying other things I also did: > I was looking for the name "Yamauchi" > Search for Yama -> found a number of entries > Adding one character at the time -> Yama+u+c+h+i resulting in the end in "Yamauchi" > Finally Calc found the name I was looking for I do NOT know what happened, but at least for now, things are back to normal. BUT .. similar things did happen these few days. If it happens again, I will report back here. Otherwise .. THANK YOU everybody and sorry for the commotion.

Thank you Thomas I tried too and the only time Search found nothing was when I had 'Search in Notes' ticked. Also won't find '$30' even if it's in the sheet but that's because of automatic currency formatting.

Sorry, I just tried Ctrl+F in an existing spreadsheet, and (as always) had no problem finding either numbers or text. 7.1.4.2 What is your environment? Have you tried a reboot?

Re: [libreoffice-users] ROUND function consistency
I agree this is not a bug and also find the different functions are not consistent in their approach. Some investigation and analysis shows that using bankers rounding results in less accumulated rounding error or bias when processing monetary values than the ROUND() function in Calc. I have also found that different jurisdictions may define their own rounding approach. For instance the Australian Tax Office states that when calculating sales tax, portions of a cent 0.5 and below should be rounded down, above 0.5 rounded up. This is opposite to that performed by the ROUND() function but possibly has the logic of accumulating the rounding error in favour of the tax payer rather than the tax department and this is the approach I have adopted in my macro. On 06/06/2022 07:01, Andrew Pitonyak wrote: Sorry, this is NOT a bug. This is exactly the result I expect if I was using VBA in MSO. Read on to find out why. I say this without looking at the code, but, you specifically told LO to use the VBA version of rounding, which is NOT normal rounding. VBA rounding uses bankers rounding. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/language/reference/user-interface-help/round-function With "Bankers Rounding", when numbers are equidistant from the two nearest integers, they are rounded to the nearest even integer; therefore, 0.5 rounds down to 0; 1.5 rounds up to 2. So, it looks like you are getting the correct answer because you turned on VBA support so the round function should act like the VBA round function. If you really were writing a macro using Microsoft Office (MSO), you would probably have used Math.Round() (I think that is what it is called) to use the rounding that you were expecting.

I needed to round the tax to the nearest cent so taking the easy route I added Option VBASupport 1 to use the available VB round function. I then noticed that the VB round function with say round(12.125,2) rounds down to 12.12 and the LO inbuilt spread sheet function ROUND with ROUND(12.125,2) rounds up to 12.13. Is rounding in this situation arbitrary or is there some some convention for consistency.
