Description: Using Edit>find & replace in formulae does not perform the replacement in array formulae. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create 2 named ranges, each a single cell. I.E _mu (=0.3) and _mu2 (=0.5). See attachment D44/D45 2.Create an array formula using _mu. See attachment D48:M49 3.Use find _mu, replace _mu2 formulae Actual Results: Search results show _mu is found in the array formulae _mu is not replaced by _mu2 in the array formula Expected Results: _mu is replaced by _mu2 in the array formulae Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 6.3.4.2.0+ Build ID: 30(Build:2) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.12; UI render: default; VCL: kde5; Locale: en-NZ (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
Created attachment 157826 [details] Calc sheet with array formulae for testing
It is so, but I don't if it is a limitation or it is by purpose, because changes in arrays could imply e.g. change the range on where the array extends, and I don't know if it is possible or affordable on the fly while replacing. Let's see if same dev can bring light on this.
This arose when importing an XLSX sheet and finding import of standard MS named ranges is not supported. (bug 130577) Finding now that Edit>Find & Replace does not work for array formulae means simply renaming the violating named ranges is not a viable workaround for the bug 130577.
I happens also with a simple array without name. A1: =B1:B5 [Ctrl+Enter] You are no able to change the range with search&replace.

In A1 I have =B1:B5 Ctrl+H - Find & Replace I search for -------------- =B1:B5 -------------- Replace with -------------- =B1:B6 -------------- Be sure to have "Search in Formula" in the bottom right window. Result in A1: -------------- =B1:B6 -------------- The formula is changed.

It's working for me in all versions. Also in Version: 7.0.4.2 Build ID: dcf040e67528d9187c66b2379df5ea4407429775 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: ro-RO (ro_RO.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Please retest
Dear Steve Edmonds, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug
I can confirm that this bug still exists in v6.4.7.2 and v7.3.7.2 Some further insight: Single cell replace fails silently, but "replace all" works correctly. See further discussion on ask.libreoffice.org: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/find-replace-with-matrix-formula/99071 User erAck also reported experiencing this bug.
