GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 671850
About logic operation "If ... Then ... Else ..."
Last modified: 2012-03-11 21:36:27 UTC
I am writing a text for young people and adults about spreadsheets. From an exercise proposed in the text, students are making contact with the "logical operation": If [condition] Then [Decision1] Else [Decision2] This "action" is not working in some cells [not all]. For example, entered in cell B5 was the "formula" "=-19,6+23,9" (without the quotes) in cell D5 type the numeric value was 4.3, was entered in cell E5 the formula: "=if($D5=B5;1;-0.5) "(without the quotes), but the value that Gnumeric put in that cell is "-0,5" when it should be "1". This occurs in other cells and other cells is the result expected. This panilha was tested in Excel and BrOffice and ran to the satisfaction. Attached is a worksheet named "Avaliacao_final.gnumeric" Thanks for your attention
Did you read the explanation of this in your previous bug report #671632? Refiling the exactly same report at best causes annoyance among the developers. The value =-19,6+23,9 is simply not the same as 4.3 when the finite binary representation is taken into account. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 671632 ***
