Hi Rainer,

Yes, it is. OOo1.x didn't support it in its plain form though, you had
to enter it as a matrix/array formula. This changed with OOo1.9.x for
Excel compatibility.

May look weird at the first impression, but is perfectly logical ;-)
Internally, ($A$8:$W$217=$Y12) and ($E$8:$E$217=Z$9) create two arrays
where each element is TRUE, the result of the comparison of an empty
cell with an empty cell. The arrays are multiplied element by element,
resulting in an array where each element has the value 1, and the
elements are summed up then.

As for the issue described by the submitter: without knowing the
original data there's nothing we could say. I guess the 0 is because the
comparisons produce results of FALSE, maybe because numbers are compared
with strings, but this is just a guess.
