Olivier, can this be considered fixed by the above commit or are you planning
to add more commits / cherrypick to 7.4?

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

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 on a currently supported version of
LibreOffice 
   (5.0.5 or 5.1.0)  https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of
LibreOffice and 
   your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

   If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave 
   a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating
System

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)

http://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:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa

Thank you for your help!

Extract from messages on the dev-mailinglist:
[ erack:
Something is hidden in the help for Array Functions:

| Using Array Formulas in LibreOfficeDev Calc You can also create a 
| normal formula in which the reference range, such as parameters, 
| indicate an array formula. The result is obtained from the 
| intersection of the reference range and the rows or columns in which 
| the formula is found. If there is no intersection or if the range at 
| the intersection covers several rows or columns, a #VALUE! error 
| message appears. The following example illustrates this concept:

And then follows a description of how to create array formulas, which is
exactly _not_ about intersections..

While the hint about the non-array normal formula mode is helpful there to
outline the difference, the actual what happens in an intersection and when
and why ... should (also?) be covered at a more prominent place
]

[ kohei:
FYI, this is also known as implicit intersection in Excel terminology.
If you google the phrase excel implicit intersection you'll get quite a few
hits along with some interesting narratives.

Sorry Winfried, sure my bad, because I'm not explaining in an understandable
way.

It is not explained in the current help,
but explaining it in the help would be great.

Thanks. :)

(In reply to m.a.riosv from comment #4)
 Seems fine being explained in the help.

Hi mariosv,

I don't understand your meaning:
do you mean that you think it _is_ explained in the current help,
do you mean that it isn't explained in the help roght noew, but explaining it
in the help would be great,
or even something quite different?

Of course, it's because of my lack of skills that I don't understand you, bit I
would like to understand you ;-)

Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) Version 1.2,
Part 2: Recalculated Formula (OpenFormula) Format, par 6.3.3
(http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/cos01/OpenDocument-v1.2-cos01-part2.html#__RefHeading__1017984_715980110)
explains the behaviour.
So far, nothing is wrong.

However, I think this behaviour looks weird for a common user. More so, because
I can't find any explanation in the LibreOffice help.
I 'modify' this bug report to a request to add this behaviour to LibreOffice
help.

Thanks for the link.

Seems fine being explained in the help.

I think is a not very used option, I don't remember any question about this
matter in no one of Ask, LibreOfficeForum, Aoo forum.

It is in the Aoo wiki:
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Using_Arrays#Array_formulas
but I can't find in our wiki/help.

In https://help.libreoffice.org/4.3/Calc/Array_Functions#What_is_an_Array.3F
nothing about this is mentioned.
