Table Formula "Bug"

[Tex Shalter]

I thought I should share this with the group:

If you create a cell with the formula "sum-above" but all the cells above it
are blank, then the formula field updates not as "0", but as the cell
adjacent (left) to it. At least that's how it works in one of my tables.
Much frustration to figure this one out.

Does anyone know of a published list of similar table formula quirks like
this ?
