commit f5f2b4982350ee6e0616d49742b29b0a57edbbbb
Author: Eike Rathke <erack at redhat.com>

    tdf#70806 get rid of the "number 0 for the entire database" nonsense
    
    1. there is no "entire database" in this context
    2. 0 was an old workaround for an omitted argument that Excel knows for
       DCOUNT and DCOUNTA functions to count records that match the
       criteria without applying a further count on a selected column, but
       not for other functions
    3. Excel does not know a 0 argument
    4. ODFF does not specify a 0 argument
    => so give examples that don't use it.
