Subject: Re: [office-formula] MIN/MAX/MINA/MAXA and no value, zero?
robert_weir: > > I don't know if I'd favor having some implementations give an error while others give zero. If someone has a document that silently fails (gives zero) and then gives an error when they give the spreadsheet to someone else, then this will certainly cause some user confusion. > Also, this is not an arcane function that will be used by few people. This is not a Bessel function. MIN and MAX are very basic functions that all will use. So the impact of confusion would be multiplied. So I'd recommend having a single, complete, unambiguous definition for it. Okay. Giving MAX/MIN/etc 0 parameters _is_ a little arcane, but I agree that the functions themselves certainly are NOT arcane. I see your point. In that case, I think we ought to return "0" when handed 0 parameters. Note: This means it should be "*" not "+" in the arg list. Any objections? --- David A. Wheeler
