Re: [office-formula] constraint of ACOT
Is the objection over the reference to PI() rather than directly using the 
Greek letter Pi?

Or is the choice of convention the problem?

According to http://mathworld.wolfram.com/InverseCotangent.html there are 
two conventions: (0,Pi) or (-Pi/2, Pi/2).  The former is continuous, while 
that later has a discontinuity at 0.
