2011-05-31 05:44:10 penalvch description Binary package hint: openoffice.org When using the VLOOKUP function, the second parameter is interpreted as an array in OpenOffice, but Excel treats it as a range. This means that Excel spreadsheets that use a single cell reference will work in Excel, but not in OpenOffice. It should be possible to fix this by treating a single cell reference as a single element array. Test case attached.
