Excel also has an incorrect formula for Net Present Value. Lotus 1-2-3 had an incorrect formula for standard deviation (they used the population formula rather than the sample formula). I don't use any M$ software, but when I need to import large numbers into a spreadsheet (I use XessSE), it's always as text.
