Just an addition to my reports so far: Christopher indicated a potential error with respect to the German translation. I assume he pointed to the help text translations, which would not be the crucial point though: From his comment I would expect the "RADIANS" to be a correct invocation of an existing function, which at least in the German version of LO it is not. Instead the "RAD" is, which I found out only by experimental computer science. :-)
So, for my part, I doubt, whether: # The correct function should indeed be RAD, and the help documentation adapted accordingly, or # the correct function should be RADIANS. in that case the LO code would have to be adapted in the German version. Not being a M$ Office Suite literate I would prefer, in any case, the best possible functional compatibility with Excel - whatever direction of change that means. -- 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: Incomplete Bug description: 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! --- ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta i386 (20120405) Package: libreoffice 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic-pae 3.2.14 Tags: precise Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic-pae i686 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm audio cdrom dip fuse lpadmin netdev plugdev sambashare sudo video To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/983884/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
