Big Bug in Excel 2007

What is 20.4 x 3212.5 ?

If you are using Excel 2007, it would probably tell you it's 100'000 . However, if you have the time to plug in those numbers in a calculator, you would amuse yourself by finding the display shows 65535.

Yes. They admitted it. Microsoft has just admitted that this is a bug in Excel 2007. It's a problem displaying the figure incorrectly. Actually, if you want more fun, you have try the above maths, they all (should) give 65535, but excel gives us more ^_^


By the way, this bug was discovered by people in Google group.
