GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 62762
log doesn't accept a base smaller than one
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The function logarithm is well defined if the base is >0 but !=1 Gnumeric thinks that it makes sense only if the base is >1 For example: =log(4,0.5) ----> #NUM! rather than returning -2 I guess someone slept through some calculus lecture (I hope he wasn't a student of mine :-)
Fixed in CVS. Thanks for noticing. I've added that to our test suite.
