Sorry, It was a long time since I went to the university, but I if I'm correct you want to calculate: (-27)^(1/3) (note it is the same as 3x(-1)^(1/3) which to my mind results in an complex number (not -3) thus the #VALUE!. just to double check: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28-27%29^%281%2F3%29&lk=4 /Albert _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
