Description Willy 2025-10-13 05:17:30 UTC
Description:
The array formula don't get extended when adding unique values.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In named range "values0" $unique.$A$2:$A$11 I added 4 strings in cells A2 to A5.
2. Then I created the array formula {=UNIQUE(values0)} in cell B2.
The resulting array formula covers the cells B2:B6.
3. Adding unique string values to the empty cells of the named range only updates cell B6, but don't extend the range of the array formula.

Actual Results:
array formula stays in range B2:B6.

Expected Results:
array formula should be extended as needed for new unique values.


Reproducible: Always

You are looking for a feature that is called "dynamic array" in Excel. Such does not exist yet in LibreOffice. Implementing such feature requires an extension to the file format.

It is a known problem and already tracked in bug 127808.
