Bad Numbers = INSANITY

I was using Apple’s Numbers and needed something in Excel (Apple was too arrogant to convert for their customer’s convenience) so I bought NeoOffice and imported the original Excel that I had. It looked good, but for some odd reason, it didn’t come up with the same math as Numbers, although the formula matched.

For example; the formula from different fields had the amounts 176471 * 13% = 232,941. I don’t know how a percentage wind up being larger than the original number. Even when I divided by 10 to be 23,294.1 that was still wrong, compared to when I calculated the original formula. 176471 * .13 = 22,914. Where the extra 1000 mysteriously came from??? You tell me.

This was from my 1st spreadsheet with this software. If I’m going to continue using it (not very likely) it’ll be for number storage only, and no formulae.

I will be demanding a refund.
