And actually it depends on the locale you work in whether SEPT is a valid month abbreviation or not.

SEPT-2 is changed to date (that is how all major spreadsheet software works if an input is accepted as date), SEPT2 is kept as text as entered.

LibreOffice Calc: "SEPT-2" is a date, "SEPT2" is not.

So we need 4400 persons falling off a roof to be par with nuclear power plants. I still consider this ratio a much better outcome than a power plant going off anywhere near (radius to be defined in Mm depending on wind direction).

With the difference that one person dropping dead from a roof hurts one family, a nuclear plant going off spoils a huge area for generations.

Whether solar and wind power are major energy sources depends on where in what region you live.

They did not include any numbers on wind, solar, hydro, tide, ... renewable energy; limiting the comparison to "the dominant" energy sources what they call "all major energy sources" shows how narrow the researchers&#x27

Try to "simply follow" when it's nested twelve levels deep. Anyhow, with both approaches, nested or early return, the reader has to read the function from the beginning (or read back until the relevant part) to grasp when exa

Regarding your fraction example there: =RAWSUBTRACT(0.1,-0.2,1/3) => -0.033333333333333 =RAWSUBTRACT(0.1,-0.2,2/7) => 0.014285714285714 So which one is closer to 0.3?

by erAck 8y ago
As you referenced that bug and there also gave an example involving fractions and =0.1+0.2 you would certainly also agree that the binary floating point representation of =0.1+0.2-0.3 is not 0.0, still Excel displays 0 as result (and so doe

Exactly. You don't want documentation editors having to learn git and all cumbersome processes first. They may not even want to learn that. They want to edit and get their changes in.

This is fun, but (at least for me) there's awful scratch noise when each note's sound starts playing, which unfortunately doesn't make it enjoyable at all.

Understanding how to use any word processor is a job skill. LibreOffice supports Akan, an official language spoken in Ghana. Projects could translate the UI to Akan so even more people would be able to use it.
