hello @list, thank you @Morten,

found and executed it (tests), got some fails and some 'success' as in attached log (shortened reg. list size restrictions), i'm confused as the results say something about e.g. '#NUM!' which looks like that that part was! run and failed in run (not in call), but when i open the tested sheet 'manually' (e.g. 'statfuns.xls') in any version (original or 'messed up') it looks all good, no #NUM!s or other complaints, 78 of 78 success in row 8, all '1' in col. H, 'Ok.' in col. I, 'TRUE' in H99, i see no fail. thus where did i (possibly) fail in running the tests?

best regards, TIA for any help.

P.S. 'messing around with calculations' ... yes, :-(  , need to do that, once the results are better than before (mathematical, decimal POV) (and they definitively do more / better than just starting to be :-)  ), and that would affect the test sheets, then i'd frankly change the test sheets (for my version). but first need to learn how to handle and run tests successfully.

In a git checkout, go to the "test" directory and run "make
check-TESTS". You can run single tests too if you wish.
