Excel Calculation Issue Update (Fix Available)

Two weeks ago, we posted about an issue involving the calculation of numbers around 65,535 and 65,536. As of today, fixes for this issue in Excel 2007 and Excel Services 2007 are available for download from the following locations:



- Excel 2007

- 64-bit Excel Services 2007

- 32-bit Excel Services 2007



KB Articles have been posted as well:



- Excel 2007

- Excel Services 2007



We are in the process of adding this fix to Microsoft Update so that it will get automatically pushed to users running Excel 2007 or Excel Services 2007. Additionally, the fix will also be contained in the first service pack of Office 2007 when it is released (the release date for SP1 of Office 2007 has not been finalized).



Thank you for your patience,


The Excel Team




winbeta.org - 10.10.2007

Microsoft Fixes Excel Calculation Bug

Microsoft says it has fixed a much publicized Excel 2007 bug which caused the spreadsheet program to display erroneous calculation results. The Excel team explained the issue this way: of the countless different floating point numbers Excel 2007 can store, there are six floating numbers using binary representation that cause the problem. Apparently for calculations that amount to around 65,535, Excel 2007 would return a value of 100,000 instead of 65,535. Thus, for instance, if you multiplied 850 by 77.1, the program would display 100,000 instead of 65,535, but if you consequently multiplied the result by 2, you would get 131,070, the correct answer. The issue, according to the Excel staff, was introduced when Microsofts development team made changes to the Excel calculation logic in Office 2007.

However, all of that is now in the past: in an Oct. 9 posting on the Excel section of MSDN the Excel Team served notice that, " as of today, fixes for this issue in Excel 2007 and Excel Services 2007 are available for download. " The team has also added the fix to Microsoft Update, " so that it will get automatically pushed to users running Excel 2007 or Excel Services 2008. " The fix will be included in the first service pack of Office 2007 when its released, though that date has not yet been finalized.

Office 2003 Service Pack 3 imminent?

Microsoft just published a download for Office 2003 Service Pack 3 Administrative Templates (ADM). I guess this means Office 2003 SP3 is around the corner.

The download includes updated Group Policy Administrative Template files, OPA files, and an updated Microsoft Excel workbook that lists the Administrative Template policy settings and OPA settings.

This download includes the following updates:

• Policy settings that provide the ability to block file format settings to prevent users from opening or saving specific file types and file formats in Microsoft Office Excel 2003, Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003, and Microsoft Office Word 2003.
  
• An updated Excel 2003 workbook (Office 2003 Group Policies.xls) that describes policy settings listed in the various Administrative Template and OPA files. It supports changes to the Office 2003 SP3 policy settings.

Note: This update replaces the previously available Office 2003 Service Pack 2 Administrative Template (ADM), OPAs, and Explain Text Update download.

Microsoft has, at last, released their second service pack for their latest Office suite, Office 2007. This update comes almost a year after the first service pack, but includes many important features and updates that make it worth the wait.
