1189790 2011-03-27 09:59:00 Is there a way to turn off the error checking when creating formulas? I get the result I want, but it returns errors that you can't get rid of.
Example =IF(OR(Q20=R20);"";"");IF((E20)<(F20);1;0.5) It returns error 509, operator missing.

1189792 2011-03-27 20:07:00 That's what I get when I tried your formula. What result are you getting that you wanted - I always see "Err:509"?

You seem to have 2 separate & complete IF() statements separated by a semicolon; I'm not surprised you're getting an error. Are you sure your formula does what you want it to do in all cases?

What are you trying to do?

1189793 2011-03-27 21:43:00 You also appear to have a redundant OR
Actually, that entire first IF is redundant.

1189794 2011-03-27 21:46:00 I put this question on the openoffice forum & got the answer I was looking for. I explained myself better there too, sorry.
