### isblank problem

Here is the formula in column L: =IF(ISBLANK(D5)," ",(G5+K5)+(G5+K5)*$M$3)

This formula works in Open Office, Google spreadsheets, etc. But in Libre the answer is #VALUE! I have replaced the commas with semi-colons but the program changes them back to commas. I have replaced the blank (" ") with "0" but the answer is #VALUE! I have added parenthesis to encompass the entire third set, as in ((G5+K5)+(G5+K5)*$M$3)). Any help here? Thanks in advance.
