Wrong Calculation Flaw In Microsoft Excel 2007 Found

Posted by: ADMIN on: September 28, 2007

A flaw in Microsoft Excel 2007 was recently found which causes certain numbers to be displayed incorrectly.

The problem occurs when Excel attempts to display 65,535 or 65,536. Rather than displaying the actual number, the cell instead shows the value at 100,000.  The issue occurs when any of six floating point numbers are displayed, and attributes it to changes to the Excel calculation logic.
