Description: there was an old bug recently solved: tdf#44076, imho the fix is incomplete as it doesn't work for e.g. '=-8^(2/3)', '=-8^(2/3)' and '=-27^(2/3)' are! 'calculateable terms', even in calc, if you rearrange them to '=-8^2^(1/3)' or '=-8^(1/3)^2', as @Christopher likes to keep that report closed and requested a new bug ... here we go, @xisco, pls. do not! close duplicate, acc. @Christoper it's a different issue ... and it's not resolved! ok? follow up to: tdf#44076, related: tdf#69293, tdf#121398, P.S. an expanded task would be to solve the handling of (-8)^(2/6), calculate straightforward and get 2, or reduce the fraction to '1/3' first and get -2? there might be a math rule for that, but i missed it in school and couldn't find it on the web ... a help might be that 4^1/2 is not! 2, but [-2/2], Steps to Reproduce: 1. enter '=(-8)^(2/3)' in a cell, without the quotes, 2. hit enter 3. observe #NUM! as result Actual Results: #NUM! Expected Results: 4 Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: tested with: Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 586f6abee92af3cdabdce034b607b9a046ed3946 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 6.1 Service Pack 1 Build 7601; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-US Calc:
