RE: Don't trust MS Excel when it comes to accuracy
Hrmpff!
What's the point in having 2 slightly different functions that do the same, only to differ between 14 and 16 digits precision? Must be an MS thing. Yes, Libreoffice also have the GammaLN.Precise, but I just assume it is for compatibility as the GammaLN function in LO Calc gets it precise in the first place.

I would assume that people using GammaLN functions are a tad more demanding than the common "let's use a calculator to split the bill" type of people and thus expects highest precision by default. (I know I do).
