Hi Theo,

The best example workbooks are YieldTermStructures.xls and  
InterestRateDerivatives.xls.  The others are less well maintained.

I just tried that workbook and it works fine for me.  Here are the  
steps I followed:

1) Install QuantLibXL 0.9.7 (binary release)
2) Start Excel
3) Open C:\Program Files\QuantLibXL-0.9.7\xll\QuantLibXL-vc80-mt-s-0_9_7.xll
4) Open C:\Program Files\QuantLibXL-0.9.7\Workbooks\Math\Interpolation.xls
5) Hit Ctrl-Alt-F9

At that point in sheet Cubic all of the formulas return values, no errors.

[With one exception, in range =[Interpolation.xls]Cubic!$C$4, the  
formula should be ohRangeRetrieveError() not ohRetrieveError()]

Can you repeat the steps above?  At what point do your results differ  
from mine?

I tried the same test for QuantLibXL version 1.0.1 and I get #VALUE  
but the workaround mentioned separately by Bojan fixes the problem.  
The comma delimited list of inputs is broken and a fix for this is on  
my to do list.

Thanks,
Eric
