I agree it is not a good idea to leave a duplicate active time stamp in a table. IIRC, date computations in the spreadsheet return inactive timestamps. So, if we don't want to conform to the documentation, we could insert an inactive time-stamp instead, to be on the safe side. WDYT? Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
