Calc ODDFYIELD function gives #VALUE error

Description:
Unable to find any combination of arguments that give a meaningful result for either function. Constantly return #VALUE!

Code inspection of GetOddfprice and GetOddfyield functions in file source/analysis/analysishelper.cxx seems to indicate that both unconditionally throw a runtime exception.

AOO Bugzilla #92177 also refers.

#87380# return error for ODDF(PRICE|YIELD) due to faulty algorithms

Eike: should we remove these functions or should we still wait for someone try to implement them?
(I found these links from MS:

Removing the functions wouldn't help anything except changing the error from #VALUE! to #NAME? ...

Keeping them has the benefit that when a document is saved as old .xls binary format then the macro class is preserved due to the implementation as Add-In and it would (continue to) work in Excel.

Just decruftify a bit the code

Didn't know about this part.
Ok I understand better now why this thing is still there unimplemented after so many years.
Thank you for the feedback! :-)

Both functions are in ODFF standard.

Dear Steve Fanning,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not
appropriate in this case)

If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword

Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
