In our project we use POI to "calculate" an Excel workbook that is managed by a
business analyst.
In the last revision we had very strange results and I tracked it down to POI
not really supporting array formulas.
I made a test excel and project where it fails for this simple formula
{ =MIN(IF(A1:A6>=C1;A1:A6)) }
The strange thing is that it works sometimes, but fails for other values.
If this is not supported I would be OK with a hard failure as soon as the
formula is evaluated.
But here there are no exceptions at all, but the formula just gives wrong
results for some values.
