As well, Microsoft clears up what it means via: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/dcount-HP005209049.aspx The field parameter is not supposed to have a 0 in it as field is the column to use. A 0 column does not make sense. Hence, LO should throw an error for Excel compatibility reasons (Gnumeric also throws the error appropriately).

As mentionen in the link I posted O is allowed and refers to all columns. This is not a bug but a feature! We are not a excel copy so we don't need to behave in the same way.

I never said LibreOffice was Excel. > As mentionen in the link I posted O is allowed and refers to all columns. While 0 is currently allowed, it does not hold compatibility with Excel or Gnumeric as noted in Comment #2. > This is not a bug but a feature! Ok, this bug has been remarked as ENHANCEMENT.
