(In reply to Eike Rathke from comment #1)
While generally all floating point numbers that are not exactly
representable in an IEEE 754 double lose precision, this specific case of
filling a series of numbers could be improved by using multiplication
instead of incrementing (adding delta) values.
Actually this shouldn't be too hard to solve, I'm creating an EasyHack of
this.
Code pointer is sc/source/core/data/table4.cxx ScTable::Fill() and
subroutines.
How would multiplication result in incrementing the value? And how would that
result in less error?Any Mathematical clues would be nice. And also , how to
reproduce this bug?
