Text Number Number
"Metrohm" = 1.2 --> 0
The same rules apply here as
for the previous operation.
Number Time Number
2.0 = Time(1999;10;07) --> 0
Before the comparative opera-
tion the
Date/Time is converted
to
Number. When the operation
is carried out the exact value
obtained after this conversion
is always used, even when only
a maximum of 5 decimal
places can be shown (for de-
tails please refer to Type con-
version "TimeToNumber",
Note).
Time Number Number
Time(1999;10;7) = 2.0 --> 0
The same rules apply here as

--> 0

and of type
Date/Time is con-
verted to
Text (i.e.: "1999-10-07
00:00:00 UTC+2"
), then the
texts are compared according
to the ASCII table.
