Re: [libreoffice-users] Error in Calc logical functions

Hi :)
In ascii code the alphabetic characters are 'higher' than the numbers.  So A is 
calculated as being higher than any number.  Remember that the machine doesn't 
really understand letter or numbers as we read them.  They are all just binary 
digits.  the binary digit that represents the character A is 'higher' than one 
representing a number.

Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Error in Calc logical functions

Hi all, this is a little example to show what is going on.
In A column I have a numeric list from 1 to 21, in the middle I have a

If a run this function in the next column =IF(A1>10), this function
evaluate the letter A like TRUE, why?


1    FALSE
2    FALSE
3    FALSE
4    FALSE
5    FALSE
6    FALSE
7    FALSE
8    FALSE
9    FALSE
10  FALSE
11  TRUE
A   TRUE
13  TRUE
14  TRUE
15  TRUE
16  TRUE
17  TRUE
18  TRUE
19  TRUE
20  TRUE
21 TRUE
