Public bug reported: calculating trigonometric functions for *degrees* requires the addition of the operator RAD.
The libreoffice help system displays respective examples for SIN, COS etc. as Examples =COS(RADIANS(60)) returns 0.5, the cosine of 60 degrees. which will result in an error. The correct version would be: =COS(RAD(60)) Since these kind of examples are given for several functions they are strongly misleading! ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/983884 Title: wrong help text Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: calculating trigonometric functions for *degrees* requires the addition of the operator RAD.
