Apparently the scalar from array extraction lacks vector replication here.
Note that when the arguments are of equal dimensions or both are column vectors or row vectors the expression works, e.g. {=MOD(A2:A4;B1:B3)} is fine.
Eike Rathke committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=9807d4498cd0c759019e36c822bca3b5ea563600 fdo#86219 use vector replication when obtaining scalar for jump matrix It will be available in 4.4.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback. Pending review for 4-3 at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/12394 Pushed to -4-3: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?h=libreoffice-4-3&id=daf0827f8a13381065d124e9bc46fa36f9cc6e0d Example: (Fedora 28, 64 bit): =IF($BG23<5,””,(SUM($E$5:$E19)+SUM($E$19:$E$21))) This results in a failure, in spite of trying to make the calc abort if $BG2 is less than 5. Having tried many combinations and tracked some of them in an independent text (code snippets" file, the only way I had to resolve this was to do the calc from the third argument in a separate cxell then have the original cell access it conditionally. Calc also may crop my formula when I paste it in, if this problem exists. In order to discern what was going on, I had to compose my formulas in an independent file and annotate that so as to keep track of what worked and what didn't. (This is part of a calc to feed a Canadian tax return for a Quebec resident - "taxing"!) Hence the resolution ended up being to place SUM($E$5:$E19)+SUM($E$19:$E$21) in Cell 4G$23, Then use =IF($BG23>-4,$G$23,"") To resolve the next level result. =IF($BG23>-4,$G$23,"") Hello Bruce Martin, This bug has been in RESOLVED FIXED status for more than 4 years. If the issue is still reproducible with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/, please report a new issue in https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/enter_bug.cgi providing, if needed, the steps and documents to reproduce it. Thanks for your understanding and collaboration. Closing as RESOLVED FIXED |
Created attachment 109368 [details] sheet with examples of array formula =MOD(A2:A4;B1:C1) used in array formula returns an array with MOD(A2;B1) in the 1st cell and #VALUE! for all the other cells. Using onky one array and a scalar for args works correctly. (MOD(A2:A4;B1) for example. Other functions expected 2 scalars as argument have the same behavior. Like CEILING, FLOOR... I've just used Excel for some weeks 4 years ago (so I'm not 100% sure) and I think Excel can handle this formula.
