The logical value in parentheses is 0 or 1, corresponding to 0 or 24 hours. The result returned by the formula is automatically issued in time format due to the sequence of the operands.</paragraph> 42<section id="relatedtopics"> 43<embed href="text/scalc/guide/calc_date.xhp#calc_date"/> 44</section> 45</body> 46</helpdocument> 47
