Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 92769
label of single row is not detected
Last modified: 2013-02-24 16:31:32 UTC
Open AngRaDeg.ods Cell B17 evaluates properly; Cell B12 has a similar formula but gives a wrong result.

I see no error. The values are accurate with at least 14 digits. Change the format to scientific and increase the number of shown digits to see the whole numbers.
That's weird. The problem disappeared with the file I uploaded, AngRaDeg.ods: contents of cell B12 is now correct --I am not questioning the accuracy. ...And reappeared with the very similar AngRaDegB.ods, attached: contents of cell B12 should not be 0.
Created attachment 55871 [details] file where B12=0
There is no error in the DEGREES function, but the issue is about the way Calc determines automatic labels. You have an empty cell under Psi. Calc takes Psi as column label and so Psi references the cell A12 with an automatically conversion from empty to 0 for calculation. I change to summary to reflect the real problem. There is already issue 82330 about problems with automatic label detection. Close duplicate, or set dependency, or split 82330 in different issues? You can avoid such problems, if you define the labels in Insert > Names > Labels. If you change your sheet in a way that you avoid the false detected structure, you have to enter the formula newly to force a new label detection, Ctrl+Shift+F9 is not enough.
Thank you. I hope the problems involved will be solved, because automatic labels are really handy! So much so, I stumbled onto them by chance.
