Okay, my contributions have to be esoteric these days. We are approaching Christmas, but I cannot say if this has an influence: Which advantage do you see in being compatible to dumb Excel “features”? I considered this phenomenon for a while, but cannot come to a different conclusion. Or try to explain to me what I do not get: Two table rows are formated to show calendar dates. The cells in one row contain references to the first, like “=A1“. If the source is empty, in the referencing cell appears the 30/12/1899, which is the value '0' formatted as date. I can suppress the display of 0s. But I am unable to comprehend, why I am obliged to do that in the above scenario. For the time, the only answer that is proposed is: „It's for Excel-compatibility“ (German quotation marks on purpose). What? And Gnumeric does the same. I am depressed, now. Must be Christmas, already. “Our problem is civil obedience” (H.Z.) -- S'il faut être quelque chose, je suis Rémie Fraisse.
