Created attachment 93940 [details] the example workbook referred to in the long description of this bug Problem description: if I have an existing function and I hit f2 to edit then ctrl+shift+enter to turn it into an array function, it does not work. However, If I enter in the function for the first time in a new cell (and while I am still in that cell from typing the function) then ctrl+shift+enter turns the function into an array. Steps to reproduce: 1. open the attached spreadsheet 2. hit f2 on C7 then hit ctrl+shift+enter 3. notice the function does not turn into an array 4. now in cell C8 hit f2 and paste in =SUM(A1:A4*B1:B4) then hit ctrl+shift+enter 5. you will now see C8 is an array function Current behavior: ctrl+shift+enter only works on just entered formulas Expected behavior: ctrl+shift_enter should work on a formula that is already entered and you are now turning it into an array. Note: I know the example in the attached workbook could be resolved using sumproduct(), however the real example I have is a bit more complex, so I chose a simpler example that could still illustrate the point/issue. docs: https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Array_Functions Operating System: Linux (Other) Version: 4.2.0.4 release
Hi, I can confirm that an existing formula can not be change into an array if you edit it with F2 and then press ctrl+shift+enter. I've also tried 4.1.5.3 and this is the same. I'll put the issue on New. As a workaround I've found that if you select the formula once you've press F2, you are able the change it in an array once ctrl+shif+enter is pressed. However not being able to do it straightly if the formula is edited seems wrong to me. Change version to 4.1.5 as this is the first version where I've been able to reproduce. Set to New - Sophie
LibreOffice and previously OpenOffice have always works like this. (unlike Excel) Change version to Inherited from OOo.
Created attachment 94154 [details] ods file with 2 arrays : 1 you can modify and 1 other you can't Hi, I confirm this behavior on LibO 4.2.0.4 under Ubuntu 12.04. But not with all the functions : - Impossible to edit an array with IF function - No problem to editing an array with FREQUENCY function. See the attachment and in the sheet "Feuille2" : - array editable in C2:C5 with FREQUENCY function - array not editable in A11:A40 with IF function.

Checked with version 4.4.3.2: Created a new function and pressed ctrl-shift-enter to make it an array function. That worked fine. Hit F2 to modify the function; modified the function and pressed ctrl-shift-enter. That worked fine too. (tested both with the caret in the middle and with the caret at the end of the formula, both worked fine.)
