Description Mark Keller 2022-07-05 03:15:03 UTC
Description:
I sum calc a column of numbers.  I had used a trial version of Excel on the spreadsheet and found different sum.  after the trial end on excel, I went back to libreofficecalc this time I created a parallel column, and used a col a times col b to generate the same totals in the suspect column.  I then sum calculated the same in the new column and get a different total.  I cannot understand the format looks the same, there are some minor differences between the error column as I entered manually, the new column just uses hours x a fixed number. I don't know how to recreate the issue, but it has happened twice.  The file can be sent for you to look at.  I suspect a format issue.  The format is really bad, keeps changing from left to centered.  Also when selecting date format, it routine changes to default.  Can't find default settings.  So I hope this is a start.  But serious as I use to send invoice statements to my clients.  Can only say it seems not to sum one or more cells.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. used spreadsheet document so long time, have may times edited date to change format, move cells around, move columns, like edit column by moving them to create more order in my spreadsheet
2. calulated a sum function on a column of numbers, but doesn't sum all numbers
3.

Actual Results:
some cells are calculated

Expected Results:
correct addition of all numbers


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Should send the file for errors. This is a serious issue.
