[Issue 127788] New: average function gives incorrect result

https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=127788

          Issue ID: 127788
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: average function gives incorrect result
           Product: Calc
           Version: 4.1.3
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 10
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: P5 (lowest)
         Component: ui
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: occurs-60189@mypacks.net
  Target Milestone: ---

When using the AVERAGE function to find the average of a row of numbers it
gives an incorrect result. For example when averaging the numbers -875.63,
-402.21, -2300.03,        -943.86, +1832.96,  the correct result is: -537.7544,
but the AVERAGE function says it is  +478.66.  Both the sign and the number are
wrong! This is just 1 example from many rows I have on the sheet. When using
the SUM function, I get the correct result. (SUM(-875.63,   
-402.21,-2300.03,-943.86,+1832.96)/5)

Do you have =AVERAGE(A1;A5) when you should have =AVERAGE(A1:A5)?

If I put your numbers in a column I can replicate your result with the ";" and
the correct result with the ":"
