Thankfully Microsoft have now fixed the Excel 2007 Multiplication Error recently found.

I wrote about this issue here: Permanent Link to Excel 2007 Basic Multiplication Error

Things like this don’t often happen, does anyone remember when early Pentium chips could also cause calculation problems. Ah the good old days.

I love how Microsoft words this:

The result of the calculation is a number from 65534.99999999995 to 65535. The calculation is performed correctly. However, the result is incorrectly shown as 100000.

So for Excel 2007 users I recommend the hot fix in the link below.
