Description Mambo 2014-06-11 17:56:35 UTC
Entering N("string") as the only functio or as first function in a cell, it returns the CORRECT value in that cell.
Examples:
=N("string")                    // returns zero
=N("string") + 20               // returns 20

BUT,
Entering N("string") in any position different from the firs position in a cell, it returns the INCORRECT value error #VALUE!
Example:
=20 + N("string")              // returns #VALUE! error IMPROPER/INCORRECT

On pc Debian x86-64 with 4.2.4 LO Debian package, I don't reproduce this.

3.5.7 is quite an old version. Could you give a try to a newer one? (last one is 4.2.4)
Comment 2 Mambo 2014-06-11 21:21:01 UTC
You are very right. I updated to the release 4.2.4 and that problem is gone.

Thank You.
