To answer your question, you can send the files privately to one of the
monitors (me for example) to be looked at. Or you can post them and send
a link to the list, if there is nothing sensitive in a typical file, the
second is better. If neither is a good option, then could you construct
a test file for review? Attachments are stripped off any email. 

Is there any specific error that happens, such as formula not properly
calculating? 

After the problem has been identified, we can decide if a bug report is
necessary
