Yes, but what is the difference?
Macro basic or Calc formula.
Either way, you still need to use the correct syntax.

You seem to be talking about LO Calc formula, while this thread is about 
ooBasic (macro language). Or I have missed something important here.

No Tom =3^2 gives the result, 9.

Hi :)
Doesn't "=3^2" just give the equation rather than the answer?  Weird!  It

I have a Mac.  System 10.7.4
Libre O, 3.5.4.2
The ^ is Shift 6 and it works perfectly.
Enter 3^2 does not work.
The correct syntax is "=3^2".

On a Macbook, the circumflex character appears on a key to the right of
the letter 'P'.

Hi :)
Could it be a problem with the user profile?
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile
It's often good to start by renaming the User Profile just to see if whatever 
weirdness vanishes after doing that.  You might end-up copying the user profile 
back, or chunks of it back but renaming the profile is a good way of "getting 
back to factory defaults".  

or is it something weird about fonts and choosing the 'wrong' symbol somehow?  
Is the ^ on the top of the 6 key or is it selected as a  special character?
Regards from
Tom :)

Yes, that's what I thought, but it works fine on my Mac OSX 10.6.8 :

LibreOffice 3.5.3.2
Version ID : 235ab8a-3802056-4a8fed3-2d66ea8-e241b80

Hi Alex



A friend downloaded and installed Mac version of LibreOffice (he has a
Mac). He told me that he can't use "^" simbol to calculate exponentiation
in ooBasic b ecause always get syntax error or something like that. At
work, using Windows version of LibreOffice everything works fine.
Any ideia about what is happening?


Some sample code would be nice, so that it could be checked out on other
machines than the original one where the problem occurred.


Alex






The problem description is clear. If I understand it correctly, the 
following code will pop up a message with calculation result "9" whereas 
the same code will raise a syntax error on a Mac.


Sub Main
print 3^2
End Sub
