Description Jürgen Kirsten 2025-08-03 12:20:06 UTC
In the example for the COUPPCD() function, the result is labelled "2001-15-11". It should correctly read: "2001-11-15".

The error also occurs in the German translation. I have already provided suggestions for correcting this in TDF Weblate.

Fixed on master only.

If I didn't misunderstand, it's too late for 25.2 and 25.8

Hi Julien,

thank you for the correction. Regarding the older versions: You could at least correct it for the online versions of the help. Couldn't you?

I don't know if it's possible to change online version and if it's possible, I don't know how.

"After the first version of a major release is out, correcting mistakes in the UI and Help strings is fine. Any completely new content should target the next major release."
