Was reading 5.0 comments and a user brought up the issue that =match(b:b,"ghacks",0) gives an error and wanted to check if this is something known. Enabling Excel A1 syntax wasnt able to fix this issue. http://www.ghacks.net/2015/08/05/libreoffice-5-0-is-available/#comment-3512905
Sorry but I don't understand this report from you. Perhaps written the formula properly it could work. =MATCH("ghacks";B:B;0) at least it works for me.
