Description Óvári 2015-07-15 04:19:58 UTC 
Version: 5.0.0.3 (x64)
Build ID: f79b5ba13f5e6cbad23f8038060e556217e66632

1. Open LibreOffice Calc
2. In cell A2 enter: =SUM($B1:B1048573)
3. Select rows 4 to 14
4. Right click on any row heading from 4 to 14
5. Insert Rows Above
6. Formula in cell A2 shows: =SUM($B1:B#REF!)
   Expected formula in cell A2: =SUM($B:B)

Unfortunately, bug also occurs when entering columns which exceed column limit.

Thank you

Hi Óvári,

I confirm with LO  5.0.0.3

That's normal behaviour and always was the case. Inserting 4 rows will shift the reference end row beyond 1048576 (i.e. 1048577). There's no automatic conversion to $B:B in between and should not be.

Thank you Eike for your comment.

Perhaps LibreOffice (LO) documentation user documentation could state that:
1. LO Calc operates differently to MS Excel as it does not have automatic conversion to absolute/relative entire row/column; and
2. LO Calc produces an #REF! error, while MS Excel converts the range to absolute/relative entire row/column notation.
