=20+15*2 - A most common error in spreadsheets is lack of knowledge of simple mathematics. Some would use this simple formula to return an answer of 70, however a spreadsheet will return 50. No amount of auditing/checking will proof something like this.
I had a client who used Excel for accounting - when moving over to an accounts package, they realised they had not invoiced for 2 contracts!! OK it was only 1000 Euros, but that is a lot of money to be missing out of a small business cash flow!
Again, thanks for highlighting. Self taught spreadsheet users can be the most dangerous kind, especially when they mentor others!
