Subject: RE: [office-formula] serial number? Don't we mean serial date?
Rob, that's a nice breakdown of the cases. My vote is on the lines of #4 to support the spreadsheet ecumenicalism that seems to be part of the OpenFormula thrust and also to give the OpenFormula-hosting specifications and their implementations the discretion that might be required for them to embrace OpenFormula. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: robert_weir@us.ibm.com [mailto:robert_weir@us.ibm.com] http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-formula/201001/msg00104.html Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2010 07:25 To: dennis.hamilton@acm.org Cc: office-formula@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: RE: [office-formula] serial number? Don't we mean serial date? I think we have four choices here: [ ... ] 4) Set a default canonical conversion between Numbers and Dates, i.e., base 1900, with correct Gregorian leap year calculations, but allow this to be overridden by sheet-level attributes in Part 1 that allow an implementation to set a different date original, and a leap year compatibility flag. That way, implementation can continue doing what they do today, but declare their behavior via these attributes, and those implementations that wish to adapt can do so. -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mail list, you must leave the OASIS TC that generates this mail.
