CONVERT_OOO

Unsupported (not recognized)

Category: Mathematical · Last tested 2026-09-01

Real compatibility results for the CONVERT_OOO function: executed in Excel for the web, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc, measured against LibreOffice’s published documentation. Excel does not document CONVERT_OOO, so this page makes no claim about Excel. Syntax and links to that documentation are below.

LibreOffice version history

We executed the same test cases under each LibreOffice release to show exactly when CONVERT_OOO’s support changed — not documentation claims, real results.

Why isn’t CONVERT_OOO working in Google Sheets?

Google Sheets does not implement CONVERT_OOO: we imported the formula into Sheets on 2026-09-01 and every case came back #NAME? (unrecognized function). Sheets is a rolling service with no version to pin, so this is a statement about the service on that date, and Google’s own function list does not document it either. Rewrite the formula with a documented Sheets equivalent — see the Excel ↔ Sheets equivalents table.

Executed test cases

Excel for the web (executed 2026-09-01 via OneDrive recalculation)

These values come from Excel for the web, not from desktop Excel. They are two different implementations of the calculation engine, and this run measured only the web one: the corpus was uploaded to OneDrive as .xlsx, recalculated by Excel for the web on open, and downloaded again for readback. Excel for the web is a rolling service with no pinnable version, so the run is identified by its date. Where a value here disagrees with the Expected column — which is Microsoft’s documentation of the desktop product — we cannot tell you whether the web engine diverges from the desktop one or the documentation is wrong about both, because we do not run desktop Excel.

=ROUND(CONVERT_OOO(1,"EUR","DEM"),10) The euro-to-mark conversion at the fixed entry rate #NAME? 1.95583
Provenance

THE PAGE PUBLISHES THE RULE BUT NOT THE RATES, SO THIS CASE CITES A SECOND AUTHORITY FOR THE NUMBER. LibreOffice's page states the semantics -- "Converts to euros a currency value expressed in one of the legacy currencies of 19 member states of the Eurozone, and vice versa. The conversion uses the fixed exchange rates at which the legacy currencies entered the euro" -- and prints two examples, =CONVERT_OOO(100;"ATS";"EUR") and =CONVERT_OOO(100;"EUR";"DEM"), BOTH OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED IN WORDS RATHER THAN GIVEN A RESULT ("returns the euro value of 100 Austrian schillings"). The rates themselves are not on the page. The rate used here is the irrevocably fixed conversion rate adopted by the Council of the European Union, Council Regulation (EC) No 2866/98 of 31 December 1998 on the conversion rates between the euro and the currencies of the Member States adopting the euro: 1 EUR = 1.95583 DEM. That is a legal constant, not a market quotation, which is exactly why the page can call it fixed. The case is written EUR -> DEM so that the asserted number IS the published rate rather than its reciprocal. STORAGE FORM, ESTABLISHED EMPIRICALLY IN BOTH DIRECTIONS BEFORE THIS FILE WAS RUN. A LibreOffice-only function has no OOXML name of its own -- the .xlsx format was frozen on Excel's function set -- so LibreOffice invents one, and this harness must write exactly the token LibreOffice's own .xlsx filter reads. Both directions were measured rather than assumed. IMPORT: every candidate spelling was written into a workbook by openpyxl (which caches no value, so the engine must evaluate from scratch) and round-tripped through `soffice --headless --convert-to xlsx` on all four pinned builds. EXPORT: the same formulas were fed to each build through its own formula parser and written back out to .xlsx, and the stored token was read out of the raw sheet XML. The token recorded for this function in harness/xlfn_map.py is the one both directions agree on across all four builds; the per-function note above says which it is. BATCH PROVENANCE (batch I, group C -- LibreOffice-only functions). This function has x == false AND g == false in docs/data/compat.json: NEITHER Microsoft NOR Google documents it, so this corpus makes no claim about either of those engines, nothing here is measured against their documentation, and the Excel column on the published page reads 'n/a (not an Excel function)' rather than a verdict. The authority is LibreOffice's own help, cited by full URL, by the date it was read (2026-08-31), and by the help version the page serves -- the URLs in this file are pinned to /25.8/ rather than /latest/ so the citation still means this text after the help site rolls forward, and /25.8/ is the help for the newest of the four engine builds the corpus executes. GOOGLE SHEETS: this batch builds the Sheets chunk whose ingest will record presence or absence in that engine. Until that ingest lands, the Sheets column on the published page reads 'Not yet' and nothing in this file claims anything about it. (Stated positively on purpose. scripts/check_honesty.py bans the blanket negative shape of this sentence outright -- it was once a true site-wide claim and is now false for more than 500 functions -- and that guard is worth keeping blunt, so this note carries the same per-function fact in a form the guard does not have to make an exception for.)

A structural assertion with no constant from any source: whatever fixed rate the implementation holds for the Austrian schilling, converting to euros and back must return the original amount. This is the strongest claim that can be made from LibreOffice's page alone, since it prints the example but not its value.

NO ERROR CODE IS ASSERTED, because the page names none -- it states the requirement and stops -- so this case asserts only that the requirement is enforced. Both currencies here are on the page's own list of accepted values, so the only thing wrong with the call is the missing euro.
