Floor & Ceil (RPN-67 vs Excel)

[Matt Agajanian]

Why did I think Excel had the official word?

Well, when you have an app that has cornered the market such as MS Excel has done, it seems as though Excel can do no wrong. Plus, I haven’t seen an audience that has cried foul and mandated that Microsoft change its ways and rewrite Excel so it’s financially, technically, mathematically accurate in every way.

Besides, from here, MoHPC, Cuvee, Wolfram Alpha, the consensus points to Excel at fault. With both sides presenting their cases, it would seem that Microsoft dropped the ball. It took this dual sided investigation so that the record can be set straight and to find out that MS is in error.
