Due to a bug found in Microsoft Excel 2007, certain sets of multiplication is being displayed incorrectly to the user.
I heard this is some old floating point bug.
850 * 77.1 supposed to result in 65535. Unfortunately, Excel 2007 displays it as 100,000.
Only specific sets of multiplication is affected. Hope a patch would arrive soon though.

You can always use gnumeric in the mean time – it lacks this feature…
