Comment 1 Andreas J Guelzow 2011-06-06 07:37:42 UTC 
In the attached file we have:
<table:table-cell table:formula="of:=1/0" office:value-type="float" office:value="0"><text:p>#DIV/0!</text:p></table:table-cell>

This conflicts with the ODF1.2 specification that specifies in Part 2 4.6 Error:
"In an OpenDocument document, if an error value is the result of a cell computation it shall be stored as if it was a string. That is, the office:value-type of an error value is string; if the computed value is stored, it is stored in the attribute office:string-value."

So the office:value-type in this case must be "string", not "float". This file currently incorrectly claims that the result of "of:=1/0" is 0!

Thorsten, can you please look into this?
Comment 3 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2012-01-30 09:06:18 UTC 
Eike: OpenFormula looks like your playground...
Comment 4 Eike Rathke 2012-01-30 10:59:10 UTC 
Sounds familiar..
Comment 5 ign_christian 2013-06-24 09:10:22 UTC 
With LO 4.0.4.2 (Win7 32bit), that file shows result #DIV/0!
Perhaps it's been fixed?
Comment 6 Eike Rathke 2013-06-24 11:37:41 UTC 
It's not about what is displayed but how it is stored in the .ods file.

@moggi:
You wanted to tackle that after the cached values / inherited number formats, if I'm not mistaken?
Comment 7 Markus Mohrhard 2013-06-24 13:45:18 UTC 
This should be fixed in 4.1 and master with my error value export. At least I thought so.

I'll check it but I closed my bug report for it.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 51810 ***
Comment 9 Eike Rathke 2013-06-24 15:27:08 UTC 
Ah yes, my bad, I only checked 4.0.4; it's already in 4.1
