Summary 2010-09-28 of OpenFormula meeting (As always, please reply-all with corrections.) Attendees: [David Wheeler didn't take attendance, so this list is uncertain. However, I believe the following were present]: David A. Wheeler Andreas G. Eric Patterson Patrick D. Rob Weir Eike Rathke Dennis Hamilton We WILL meet next Tuesday. Note: For our current status, see the dashboard: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10056 TOPICS: Unfortunately, the dashboard is less useful (esp. NEEDS-DISCUSSION) due to JIRA changes. * OFFICE-2220 http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2220 NPV - a parameter should be optional. Eike proposes to leave it the same. (Broken out from 916). Eric: In Excel, the payment argument is not listed as an optional argument. Eike: What happens then? Wheeler: It's not optional in current implementations, so let's leave it as required. * OFFICE-2893 http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2893 Rob: Look at XML rewriting rules. "I wonder whether we can settle for the xsd:float definition from W3C Schema Datatypes." Dennis: Lots of tables use space to separate digits. * OFFICE-3432 (IRI) http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3432 Wheeler: Looks good, let's accept it. * OFFICE-2258 (French accounting system) Rob: Andreas did some research, inc. French wikipedia. The parameters seem to change by French law occasionally!! Rob: We could use the 2008 parameters (probably the most current). Andreas: It seems to have to do when assets are purchased. (Excel, OOo, Gnumeric all have this function.) Rob: We could take a prominent implementation and mimic it. We could ask the French to provide us with a definition. Do the Canadians use this? Patrick: Is this like tax credits, where it has a wide range of variations? Andreas: Yes. For short period, smaller numbers were used to encourage investment. Wikipedia says this changes by law, don't know if that's true. Wheeler: If this varies by law, then we shouldn't include it. Eric: We've never gotten any requests to change the function at Microsoft. Rob: Can you ask the Excel team to find out what its definition is? Eric: Yes, I'll see what I can find. I think it's been unchanged for many years. * OFFICE-2630 (YEARFRAC/BASIS) Rob: There are various options. The least bad is document what's done. * OFFICE-3446 (ranges - new) http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3446 Dennis will pick up to define. We will meet next week. --- David A. Wheeler
