I have read the bug report you mentioned: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=37129 and I tend to agree with the conclusion of comment 11 that it wold be wrong to alter the behavior of the POWER function for this particular case, (since there are multiple roots). I think it would be better to use the proposed workaround: SIGN(X)*ABS(X)^(1/3) or SIGN(X)*POWER(ABS(X), 1/3) this is more "honest" since you with this expression explicitly state that you want the the real cubic root. In the end I'm not an Calc core developer, I'm CC-ing the list, see what the others have to say about this. /Albert > 2012/7/16 marlon orlando barahona alvarez <ingma...@gmail.com> >> >> Oh, I forgot to mention that I tried with index (1/5), (1/7) and Calc work >> perfectly. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
