Microsoft has announced that one of the 12 patches they issued Tuesday is causing Excel 2003 to make calculation mistakes.
According to Bill Sisk, security response communications manager, fixes in MS08-014 bulletin “causes Microsoft Excel 2003 calculations to return an incorrect result when a Real Time Data source is used…our teams are testing a fix and will release it once it meets our quality bar for broad distribution.”
Oops.
For the time being, Microsoft is recommending that users running any function that contains a macro that refers to a Real Time Data source run the function on each cell individually rather than on an array of cells.
