Description Dude76 2015-10-09 21:53:06 UTC
Created attachment 119471 [details]
partial screen shot of the same situation; original without 0 and incorrectly positive, test with added 0 on next line and correct negative result result

strange bug found found since last version update, in a calc file, used for many years (bank account, the doc itself and its formulas can be considered as improved).
Column D is for incomes;Column E is for outcomes;(hidden) column F is delta result of =D-E

when discovered this bug, I had 4 lines with only outcomes, but the results was ... positive.
Evaluation by small formula helper was correct (negative)
In a further line, if i put a 0 instead of empty cell in INcome, the 4 results turned to negative; if delete the 0, the four lines turned back to positive.

Finally, i have set a space instead of the 0, making errors on all the followings lines, the delete back to an empty cell and ... everything back to normal (delta negative when outcome set, positive when income set).


Strange, isn't it ?

It seems that it's only happens when there is no more "incomes" in further lines, so the bug remains on lasts "outcomes" lines.
I had to go back on every sheet ending with outcome lines and doing this space-enter-then-delete-content-of-cell woorkaround to get back correct values over the whole workbook.
Comment 1 m_a_riosv 2015-10-09 22:09:31 UTC
Hi @Dude76, thanks for reporting.

Please could you attach a sample file, as minimal as possible (remember this is a public site) to reproduce the issue.

light file sample reproducing the problem

i have strongly enlight the original file
values in F to line 39 (and to 60 if they were not empty) are OK and negative (outcomes)
values from line 61 to 63 are OK and positives (incomes)
following values, with no more incomes later, avec positive whereas they are outcomes, so it is KO !

i have also noticed that there are impact (due to "false" positive values) on other dependants formulas results (ex : J64)

i have put comments in the file too.
Comment 3 Dude76 2015-10-09 23:16:54 UTC
yes, finaly i can;
I believed that my previous "workaround" had definitively solved the problem but not, new values produced the same problem, and, worst, it had impacts the previous ones too :(
Comment 4 raal 2015-10-10 06:50:21 UTC
F64 =D64-E64 = 0 - 665 = -665

It's correct in Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+

TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@70-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2015-10-07_05:54:26

It's incorrect in  5.0.2.2 (x64), win7, but correct after hard recalc (ctrl+shift+f9). Try to do hard recalc (ctrl+shift+f9).
Comment 5 Dude76 2015-10-10 10:54:33 UTC
I did it. Bad results.
The previous results that were "corrected" by the "workaround" are now bad.

If with the same version you don't have the same bahavior, maybe it could indicate a corrupted installation ?
I will uninstall / reboot / install.
I didn't notice the problem in the previous version.
Comment 6 Dude76 2015-10-10 11:43:15 UTC
Well, missed.
re-download the installer, uninstall, reboot, install, the problem remains.

other point noticed : when i put/delete a 0 below, it changes the value in F (as previously noticed) but it doesn't changes in cascades the other values.
ex in the provided sample:
D74: 0 -> F72=>-500 but G72 doesn't refresh the calculated value (could be done by forcing but, well, automatic re-computing is expected)
Comment 7 m_a_riosv 2015-10-10 14:44:11 UTC
For my trials the issue is in relation with the OpenCL:

a) If it is active (Menu/Tools/LibreOffice/OpenCL - OpenCL options), entering zero in D72 produces -500 in F72, deleting the zero on D72 produces 500 in F72, wrong result.

b) If it is deactivated, entering zero in D72 produces -500 in F72, deleting the zero on D72 produces -500 in F72, right result.

Reproducible:
Win10x64
Version: 5.0.3.1 (x64) Build ID: fd8cfc22f7f58033351fcb8a83b92acbadb0749e

TinderBox: Win-x86_64@62-TDF, Branch:MASTER, Time: 2015-09-27_22:33:48

Last working for me:
Version: 4.4.7.0.0+ Build ID: 2ca166ebbe2adbd8f129403c7f8e5646c70ab67d
TinderBox: Win-x86@51-TDF, Branch:libreoffice-4-4, Time: 2015-10-07_06:28:19

Really a very bad issue for a spreadsheet.
Comment 8 Dude76 2015-10-10 17:29:39 UTC
Really thanks (and congrats) for qualifying the origin of the bug.
I feel less silly :)

I confirm the behavior following the OPENCL setting on my file.
Good luck/courage for solving it.

Bests regards.

Comment 12 How can I remove my account? 2015-10-14 09:38:23 UTC
Sorry, but would it be possible to get an even simpler sample document that has just one simple description that says explicitly "the cell XX should be X, but with OpenCL turned on, it is Y"

I find it hard to parse the comments in the existing Sample.ods...
Comment 13 How can I remove my account? 2015-10-14 11:31:57 UTC
Or actually, comment #7 is clear enough. (Empty or numeric zero in D72 has different impact on F72 depending on whether OpenCL is on or not.) Will use that to verify any fix I come up with.
Comment 14 m_a_riosv 2015-10-14 11:57:04 UTC

Reduced sample file

Added a reduced sample file

Remarkable, for verify the issue, on the reduced sample file with only a few data, reduce the value in:
Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice calc/Formula - Detailed calculation settings - Custom - Minimum data size for OpenCL use
to 2.

Introducing a zero and deleting it on D3 changes the result in E3 from -500 to 500.
With OpenCL disable result in E3 is always -500.

Hello

What about Bug 94540 - EDITING: VLOOKUP wrong result #VALUE in CALC 5.0.2.2.
it was marked as duplicate of this bug.

Disabiling OpenCL performs well, but if activated it displays #VALUE

VLOOKUP wrong result test file
Comment 29 How can I remove my account? 2015-10-18 07:42:19 UTC
Sorry, but the instructions on Sheet3 of that document don't work. They say at the first step that "correct result displays" but don't say what that correct result should be. (For me, if I follow the instructions exactly, L2 on the Sheet3 displays #N/A. I assume that is not what is expected?)

Please, if you want to provide a test document, just provide a sheet where doing a Ctrl-Shift-F9 after toggling "Tools:Options:OpenCL:Allow use of OpenCL" changes calculation results. That is all that is needed. No need to describe multiple steps of saving, loading, copying and pasting. (Having over 100 copies of a formula in sequential rows in a column  will make OpenCL be used, as long as the formula uses only operators and functions from the OpenCL-enable-subset.)
Comment 30 How can I remove my account? 2015-10-18 07:45:11 UTC
I assume the problem in the instructions is that the formula should use Movtos.A2, not just A2? Then I see the issue.
Comment 31 How can I remove my account? 2015-10-18 07:46:19 UTC
Anyway, I am not sure if we want to mark all problems in OpenCL as duplicate of this bug or not? Clearly this VLOOKUP issue is not the same as that which affected subtraction, for instance.
