Where's the appropriate place to ask for that functionality to be added?

I guess it's really a request to change the behaviour of a whole class of functions which accept ranges as a parameter.

The simple answer is no. Calc's LARGE function works with a single range of cells rather than a non-continuous group of cells.

Sorry, bad example from me.

I meant something like (A1; T2; X4)

Non-contiguous.  Excel allows this in a notation like above.  So not
a range of cells.

Hi all -

I'd like to know how (or if it's indeed possible) to use a set of
non-contiguous cells in a function like LARGE().

For example, in Excel I can use

LARGE((A1,A2,A3), 1)

but the equivalent in OpenOffice (1.9.125)

LARGE((A1; A2; A3); 1)

gives a 508 (mis-matched pair) error.

I think you have the syntax wrong. Help says,
"=LARGE(A1:C50; 2) gives the second largest value in A1:C50."
so I would expect your statement to be
=LARGE(a1:a3; 1)
