Hi Mike. Now I understood where the problem is. I initially thought VBA rounded
the remainder to the nearest integer. But from your explanation (and after
reading more carefully [2]) both VBA and LO Basic (if variables are used) first
round each variable to the nearest integer and then apply the MOD operator.

Here's the example to demonstrate this:

Sub ExampleMod2
   a = 16.4
   b = 5.9
   Print a Mod b 'Prints 4
End Sub

It should be noted that BASIC's MOD operator has a different behavior than
Calc's MOD function. In Calc =MOD(16.4;5.9) returns 4.6.

I'll update the help file to clarify these issues.
