Excel 2007 BUG

The attached spreadsheet demonstrates an Excel 2007 multiplication bug that was recently announced on Slashdot. It has been reported to Microsoft and will hopefully be fixed real soon.

Cell A3 contains a formula that multiplies cell A1 times A2. The answer should be 65,535 but it shows the answer as being 100,000.

Cell B3 contains a formula that multiplies cell A3 times two. It gives 131,070 which is 65,535 times two. It seemingly ignores the 100,000 being shown in A3 and uses the correct number of 65,535.

Cell C3 contains a formula that adds one to cell A3. It gives 100,001.

From the Slashdot posting: “It seems that any formula that should evaluate to 65,535 will act strangely.”

ENJOY!!!
