Hi Johnny,
Just a few thoughts in an attempt to narrow down the problem :

- which version of OpenOffice.org did you originally use to create the file
?

I am not sure, but I have four of these files, one for each year (one
year is about 3000 rows in average and the whole thing were just too
slow for using the same file for many years), so the first one was
made in 2010, and I think it was LibreOffice, but I'm not sure. If
LibreOffice, it must have been one of the first versions, which one
was that? 3.2?


- the cells that show Err 522, do they have a particular formula that
requires recalculation ?

I'll open it and have a look…
Okay, it's open and now I can see that all my formatting of column A
is… gone?? Thank you, LibreOffice, or maybe Apache OpenOffice? I
fiddled with the file with both suites yesterday, but I think I used
LibreOffice last time I opened it…
I'll open it with Apache OpenOffice… Done. Column A formatted OK. Strange…

I know I have had that problem before with LibreOffice, that some
formatting (conditional formatting) are suddenly gone, so I guess I
should stay with Apache OpenOffice for at least that file…

Anyway, back to your question…
The first cell with Err:522 when I open the file now, is G320. The
formula is (translated to English):
=IF($E320="";"";IF($B320=G$1;$C320+G319+STYLE("Time");IF(INTEGER($A320)>INTEGER($A319);0+STYLE("Hide");G319+STYLE("Hide"
 ”Hide” is a style that hides the text with white characters and
white background. It just make it look a lot better and easier to
follow.
 ”Time” is for displaying time correctly, in this case H:MM:SS. All
other settings are the same as the default style, I think.

All rows looks the same (except maybe the first one), here are the
rest of its columns, in this case one row 320:
A320: 2013-02-07 11:40:33
 Just date and time following ISO-8601, which is very close to the
Swedish date- and time format.
B320: =WORK(A320;B319)
 WORK looks like this:

REM * Basic *
Option Explicit

Function Work(CurrentTime As Date,PrevWork As String) As String
 If CurrentTime=0 Then
 Work=""
 ElseIf TimeValue(CurrentTime)"Arrival" Then
 Work="Arrival"
 ElseIf TimeValue(CurrentTime)>TimeValue("10:40:00") And _
 TimeValue(CurrentTime)"Lunch" Then
 Work="Lunch"
 ElseIf TimeValue(CurrentTime)>TimeValue("15:40:00") Then
 Work="Going home"
 ElseIf PrevWork<>"Transport" Then
 Work="Transport"
 Else
 Work="Enter customer, supplier or place"
 EndIf
End Function
REM * End of code *

C320: =IF(OR(A321=0;A321INTEGER(A320);"";A321-A320))
D320: 
 The D column is for comments only, so most of the rows are empty,
the rest are pure text, no formulas.
E320: 
=IF(E319="";C320;IF(OR(DAY(A321)>DAY(A320);C320="");"";IF(OR(B320="Lunch";B320="Doctor's
appointment");E319;C320+E319)))
F320: 
=IF($E320="";"";IF($B320=F$1;$C320+F319+STYLE("Time");IF(INTEGER($A320)>INTEGER($A319);0+STYLE("Hide");F319+STYLE("Hide"
 And finally, the already mentioned formula, in which the first
Err:522 occurs this time (not the same cell every time I open the
document):
G320: 
=IF($E320="";"";IF($B320=G$1;$C320+G319+STYLE("Time");IF(INTEGER($A320)>INTEGER($A319);0+STYLE("Hide");G319+STYLE("Hide"

Now, I select G320, Ctrl+ Ctrl+v. Poff – all error messages are gone…
(and replaced with the expected values).

Well, that's probably just about it.



- if there is a formula in these cells, does it involve calculating strings
with en empty, NULL or Zero value ?

I try to prevent that with the IF(SomeCell="";"";DoSomething), see the
formulas above. I think I covered all possible situations, but I'm not
100 % sure, of course.

I am sure you have tried, but did F9  or Shift+Ctrl+F9 do the trick. A 
quick search shows some discussion on failure to recalculate.

It means circular references, but in my case it probably means
something else, because I have more than double checked: There are no
circular references! Well, I said that before, didn't I? I think so.

I always used to file bug reports, but since I switched to LibreOffice
they are just too many. I wouldn't have time for anything else if I
wrote a bug report every time I found a new bug. Maybe I file every
tenth bug or so, so it's not that I'm doing absolutely nothing, but
no, I don't think I filed this particular one. I was going to, but I
would need to attach that particular document, with a lot of data that
I need to rename first and so on, just too much work, especially at
that speed…

Anyway, now that I saved the document with Apache OpenOffice,
LibreOffice opened it much faster and that several minutes wait after
every cell entry was suddenly gone, it now takes approximately one
second. Maybe Apache OpenOffice fixed it somehow?

And even funnier, Apache OpenOffice now takes a few seconds coffee
break for every cell entry in that file (at least it's not minutes)!
If I am going to file a bug report, I am not really sure what to
write, I'm just too confused right now, I don't know what happens;
maybe I'm just dreaming all this…

Hi :)
That has all sounded like a tfn tbh.  I've never heard of the Err 522 before.  
I was hoping it was something trivial such as memory or something.  I guess you 
have already posted a bug-report and just got nothing back yet?  It's going to 
be a tad weird here if you do go over to AOO completely.  
Apols and regards from
