[Bug 1150956]
I'm the original reporter of the bug on Launchpad. This bug looks critical to me, because it can directly lead to financial losses from incorrect rate-of-return calculations in spreadsheets. Let me explain the severity of the bug with an example. If one invests, say, $250 today in exchange for receiving an annual payment of $35 forever in perpetuity, the annual return will be 35/250 = 0.14, or 14%/year.[1] Now imagine that instead of receiving the annual payments of $35 in perpetuity, one will receive them only for a fixed number of years. In this case, the rate of return will necessarily be lower than 14%/year. The lower the number of years, the lower the rate of return; the greater the number of years, the closer to 14%/year the rate of return will be. Indeed, the rate of return asymptotically approaches 14%/year as the number of years increases to infinity.[2] This is *exactly* what I get in other spreadsheet programs, but NOT in LibreOffice. For example, when I try these formulas in Google Spreadsheets, the results asymptotically approach 14%: =RATE(10, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.06637326 =RATE(20, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.12724192 =RATE(30, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.13702841 =RATE(40, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.13923873 =RATE(50, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.13979829 =RATE(60, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.13994592 =RATE(70, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.13998544 =RATE(80, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.13999607 =RATE(90, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.13999894 =RATE(100, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.1371 When I try those formulas in LibreOffice, many of the answers are nonsensical! It would be better for LibreOffice to return an error than an incorrect number! -- [1] See formula in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_value_of_money#Present_value_of_a_perpetuity [2] See explanation in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_value_of_money -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1150956 Title: LibreOffice Calc's RATE function sometimes produces different results as some versions of MS Office To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1150956/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1150956]
Christopher: To see the results asymptotically approaching 0.14, increase the number of periods, not the annuity payment (in other words, keep the annuity payment at 35) -- i.e., =RATE([change this number],35,-250,0). As I wrote above, returning an error is a *lot* better than returning the wrong number, because the RATE() function is used only for financial calculations. When there's money on the line, a non-working spreadsheet that reports an error is better than a working one that gives the user a bad answer.

[Bug 1150956] Re: LibreOffice Calc's RATE function sometimes produces incorrect results!!!
Christopher -- sure. I just tried this on Google Drive's Spreadsheet and on Microsoft Excel: =RATE(50,35,-250,0) The result in both cases is approximately 0.1398. When I try the same formula in LibreOffice, I get a nonsensical answer. (I sure hope no one out there is using this function to calculate important financial figures!) I'm using LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 Build ID: 350m1(Build:2) on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. Hope this is helpful. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1150956 Title: LibreOffice Calc's RATE function sometimes produces incorrect results!!!

[Bug 1150956] Re: LibreOffice Calc's RATE function sometimes produces incorrect results!!!
Christopher: > What specific version of Excel? Excel 2003 on a Windows XP VM under VirtualBox. To get the answer, you must enable iterative calculations, increase the number of iterations, and lower the maximum change per iteration. Otherwise you will get the #NUM! error. > Unfortunately, this was not a different, exact command Try these, then: =RATE(50,36,-250,0) =RATE(50,37,-250,0) =RATE(50,38,-250,0) =RATE(50,39,-250,0) =RATE(50,40,-250,0) These RATE functions are supposed to return the internal rate of return of investing -250 in exchange for receiving a recurring payiment of respectively 36, 37, 38, 39, and 40 per period for a total of 50 periods, with no payment at the end. LibreOffice returns a nonsensical answer in ALL of these cases!!! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1150956 Title: LibreOffice Calc's RATE function sometimes produces incorrect results!!!

PS. It would be a LOT better if LibreOffice returned a #NUM! error instead of an incorrect number. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1150956 Title: LibreOffice Calc's RATE function sometimes produces incorrect results!!!

[Bug 1150956] Re: LibreOffice Calc's RATE function sometimes produces different results as some versions of MS Office
Björn: thank you for upstreaming it. Let me try and explain why LibreOffice returning -1.9474... as the result of =RATE(50,35,-250,0) is really a *very* bad thing, and should be marked as a CRITICAL bug. I''ll try to provide an intuitive explanation without delving into too much math. Let's start with the simplest example. If you invest $250 today in exchange for receiving an annual payment of $35 *forever in perpetuity*, your annual return will be 35/250 = 0.14, or 14%/year. You can see that the formula for a perpetual annuity is Present Value = Annuity / Rate; hence Rate = Annuity / Present Value) in lots of websites. Here's the Wikipedia page on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_value_of_money#Present_value_of_a_perpetuity Now imagine that instead of receiving the annual payments of $35 in perpetuity, you will receive them only for a fixed number of years. In this case, your annual return will necessarily be lower than 14%/year. The greater the number of years, the closer to 14%/year your annual rate of return will be. Specifically, your internal rate of return will asymptotically approach 14%/year as the number of years during which you will receive the annual payments increases to infinity. This is ***EXACTLY*** what I get in other spreadsheet programs, but NOT in LibreOffice. IT'S MATH. Since you guys are having problems with Excel, try these formulas in Google Spreadsheets, and you will see how the results asymptotically approach 14%: RATE(10, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.06637326 RATE(20, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.12724192 RATE(30, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.13702841 RATE(40, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.13923873 RATE(50, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.13979829 RATE(60, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.13994592 RATE(70, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.13998544 RATE(80, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.13999607 RATE(90, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.13999894 RATE(100, 35, -250, 0) returns 0.1371 Then go and try those formulas in LibreOffice. As I wrote before, returning an error would be a *LOT* better than the wrong number!!! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1150956 Title: LibreOffice Calc's RATE function sometimes produces different results as some versions of MS Office To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1150956/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Bryce -- thank you. I can confirm this is fixed in 11.10, which I'm using exclusively now.
