Interesting but I do not see any specific T-bill functions in Calc. What
I do see is a number of functions that work on dividend yielding
securities of which T-bills are not likely to qualify being more in the
bond area. So I suggest that you do two things,
1. enter an issue into Issue Tracker as this is the best way to
have problems such as this evaluated
2. check http://sc.openoffice.org/ and its mailing lists on this
subject or anything similar.
If you haven't already registered, do the following:
1. To file an issue you must register with OOo by clicking the
My Pages tab and selecting the Register link
http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/Join
2. Fill in your information
3. Reply to the confirmation email that will be sent to the address
you provided.
4. Once you have confirmed, go to www.openoffice.org again
5. And click on the "My Pages" tab from which you can file and find
issues.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
any examples with the issue to ensure your need is understood.
