As it seems I can enter a formula like "min<K2:M2>" in a formula cell and the expression is calculated. Sometimes there are errors with the formulas, and I only get a message displayed inside the table cell that goes like "** Fehlerhafter Ausdruck" (in German, probably "Error in expression"). When I hover with the mouse over the error message I see something like "min(<?:?>)", but I can neither display the formula permanently (like via Control+F9), nor can I edit such existing formulas via F2; when I try to edit a formula, I see an empty formula, meaning I have to re-enter the formula. It seems the problem occurs *sometimes* if the formula has been copied from another row. It also seems the problem does not occur if the formula was copied from another column in the same row. Usability is just terrible. When viewing content.xml of such a document, a bad formula looks like this: <table:table-cell table:style-name="Tabelle9.A1" table:formula="ooow:MAX(<?:?>)" office:value-type="float" office:value="1.7976931348623157E+308">
Another thing I had noticed is that copying formula "mean <B2:K2>" gives wrong results, but copying formula "mean(<B2:K2>)" gives the correct results.

Ulrich, thank you for reporting the bugs, but please don't mix two issues in one report. Please open a new report for the second problem.
Hello Ulrich, a new major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
Dear Ulrich Windl, This bug has been in NEEDINFO status with no change for at least 6 months. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and mark the bug as UNCONFIRMED.

Created attachment 182095 [details] Screenshot showing error popup for bad formula "=min<K2:M2>" When trying to reproduce with 7.2.5.1, I can see the bad formula now, and I can edit it. The automatic correction proposal does not make it much better, however. (The correct syntax would be "=MIN(K2:M2)")
Hello Component is Writer, but your last printscreen is from Calc? You wrote: "When trying to reproduce with 7.2.5.1, I can see the bad formula now, and I can edit it." - so can we close this Writer's bug?
Created attachment 182136 [details] Example Documents, most likeley demonstrating the bug (In reply to raal from comment #6) Seems I was confused: With the lack of an example document, I wondered how I can insert a formula referring to cells in a writer document without having embedded a calc object (Sorry, the report is too long ago). So I just tried calc directly... Trying to reproduce, it behaves much like the calc example did. Still I'm not 100% sure that that is the original problem described. Sorry.

(In reply to Ulrich Windl from comment #9) > Probably changed in the meantime. Ulrich, could you please try to reproduce it with your attachment 182136 [details] and a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html ? You can install it alongside the standard version. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the master build.
