When we switched from Lotus 123 to Excel, there were a lot of 123 users who
couldn't break that habit.

(I find it irritating, too <vbg.)

Another one that lots of lotus users did (ok a few, ok just one!) was:

=sum(a1+b1)
or even worse:
=+sum(a1+b1)

Hi everybody,

I have noticed that some people start the formula with + or - after
equal sign e.g. =+if(...

My question is: what is the main purpose of doing that I need a
detaild answer with some examples if available.

Thank you,,
