Double Check Your EXCEL

Comments   1   Date Arrow  September 27, 2007 at 10:30am   User  by Harry Kalogirou

Do you trust Microsoft Excel to do your financial plans? Do you count on it for business matters? Do you even use it as a calculator?

Think again… since Excel can’t even multiply correctly!!

I wonder how they accomplished such a thing! What kind of COM, CORBA and VB should you be calling for a multiplication to make it have a bug!?

p.s. If I recall correctly there was a bug like that in the calculator that came with a previous version of Windows…

    Actually, it does your calculations correctly, it just doesn’t display it properly.
    If you put it in a graph, then it shows the correct value (even though the cell doesn’t).

    Check out Joel on Software for more details on it.
