In a new Calc document: 1. Put number '1' to A1, A2, A3 and A4 2. Put formula '=SUM(A1:A4)' to A5 3. Put number '2' to B1 4. Select B1:C1, and call Data->Multiple Operations 5. Put 'A5' to dialog's "Formulas", and 'A2' to "Column input cell", and click OK. => C1 shows Err:504. It depends on the range used in the A5 formula. Having the formula changed to '=SUM(A2:A2)' (note that it also uses reference to a range including the input cell, but only that cell!), or to '=SUM(A3:A4)' makes it function OK. Seems like the range gets "broken" when we use another cell for updated value for some cell inside the range. Also repro using OOo 3.3.0.
This one likely is a duplicate of bug 130722.
"A cell, which contains the current value must not depend on cells which are used in the sample calculation, neither directly nor indirectly." https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Calc_Functions/MULTIPLE.OPERATIONS/en
(In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #2) I'm sorry, how is that related? "A cell, which contains the current value" is the "RowReplacement" or "ColumnReplacement", and it is a *fixed value* cell in the example here.

Sorry Mike, you are right. Generated formula is =MULTIPLE.OPERATIONS(A$5;$A$1;$B1). It seems, that it is not possible, that the variable cell $A$1 is part of a range used in the sample calculation, here A1:A4. Changing A5 to =A1+sum(A2:A4) works.
Dear Mike Kaganski, 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!
