Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc - Invalid name error - help request

Hi :

    I don't have a Mac, I use GNU / Linux Ubuntu...but usually that 
kind of issues are define with the Operative System. Try to find how is 
it define it in you Mac. Probably is as " , " and you have to change to 
" . " as you use it in Canada.
