DOLLARDE
Quirk foundCategory: Financial · Last tested 2026-09-01
Real compatibility results for the DOLLARDE function: executed in Excel for the web, Google Sheets and LibreOffice Calc, with desktop Excel behavior from Microsoft’s official documentation (we do not run desktop Excel — Excel for the web is a different application and is executed separately). Syntax and links to that documentation are below.

Why isn't DOLLARDE working in LibreOffice?
DOLLARDE exists in LibreOffice 25.8.7.3, but it is not a drop-in match for
Excel — our executed tests found real behavioral differences (detailed in the test results on this
page). If a formula that works in Excel or Google Sheets misbehaves in LibreOffice, compare your usage
against the failing cases above before assuming your data is wrong.
Discovered quirks
-
=DOLLARDE(1.02,0) on
LibreOffice Calc returned
#VALUE!, but the documented/expected
result is #DIV/0!.
Provenance
Verbatim from Microsoft: 'If fraction is greater than or equal to 0 and less than 1, DOLLARDE returns the #DIV/0! error value.' Note the band is 0 <= fraction < 1, which is worded more widely than DOLLARFR's page (which names only fraction = 0) even though truncation makes the two equivalent in practice; MISMATCH vs expected: expected '#DIV/0!', got '#VALUE!'
-
=DOLLARDE(1.02,-4) on
LibreOffice Calc returned
#VALUE!, but the documented/expected
result is #NUM!.
Provenance
Excel documents #NUM! if fraction is less than 0; MISMATCH vs expected: expected '#NUM!', got '#VALUE!'
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.

Where DOLLARDE behaves differently
- DOLLARDE and DOLLARFR: fractional bond prices across engines
Executed: all eight valid DOLLARDE/DOLLARFR conversions match Microsoft's documented values in LibreOffice 25.8.7.3 and Google Sheets, including the documented truncation of a non-integer fraction. All four error cases return #VALUE! in LibreOffice where #DIV/0! or #NUM! is documented; Google Sheets returns the documented code. - Every error code LibreOffice reports as #VALUE!
Across our 2,334-case executed corpus, 272 cases in 135 functions return #VALUE! in LibreOffice Calc 25.8.7.3 where Microsoft documents #NUM! (244), #N/A (15), #DIV/0! (10) or #REF! (3). Google Sheets returns the documented code on 239 of the 249 it has a function for. Identical in all four LibreOffice builds tested.
