Subject: SUMIF, COUNTIF, COUNTBLANK, DCOUNT, DSUM, ... with empty cells and "" and ="" empty string criteria
Hi, There is some inconsistency in how applications handle empty cells in various conditional functions, and also Excel in itself isn't consistent. This is somewhat a big mess, but I also have no concrete idea whether we should do better or for interoperability's sake mimic the Excel behavior, which might be preferred, and also Gnumeric does. Please see also http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=65221 where a testcase document with some explanations is attached. Eike -- Automatic string conversions considered dangerous. They are the GOTO statements of spreadsheets. --Robert Weir on the OpenDocument formula subcommittee's list.
