Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-3492) Undefined units forConvert Function - NEEDS-DISCUSSION
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3492?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=22823#action_22823 ] David Wheeler commented on OFFICE-3492: ---------------------------------------- I'm going to start fixing the proposal by changing: "ly": The exact value of one light year is (299792458 m/s) (3600 s/hr) (24 hr/day) (365.25 day/year) 1 ly = 9.4607304725808E+15 m 1 m = 1.05700083402462E-16 ly to simply: "ly": The exact value of one light year is (299792458 m/s) (3600 s/hr) (24 hr/day) (365.25 day/year) If people can't multiply, they have other problems :-). And we should NOT include the "1 m = ... ly" value, because that is NOT exact. I'll also replace the bushel definition as follows: 1 bushel = 2150.42 cubic inches exactly. > Undefined units for Convert Function - NEEDS-DISCUSSION > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFFICE-3492 > URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3492 > Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC > Issue Type: Bug > Components: OpenFormula > Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 CD 05 > Reporter: Eric Patterson > Assignee: Eike Rathke > Priority: Critical > Fix For: ODF 1.2 CD 06 > > > There are still a number of units that are undefined and cannot be implemented as described.
