I'm sorry, but you seem to deal with that issue in an aggressive manner; I
honestly don't understand why.  I can only repeat that it's a simple request,
that would enhance compatibility with Excel, and that would be useful for some
users.

FYI, the formula above was generated by a script, but I don't see why
explaining the details of why I need it would convince you.  Nothing is
*necessary* in Calc or Excel, because it is always *possible* (given that it is
Turing-complete, even without macros) to do anything you might need in another
way.  This means that what we are discussing here is nothing more than
convenience.

The row limit increase (from 64K to 1M) in OOo 3.3 was also meant to enhance
compatibility with Excel, and is useful to some users; I bet that you would
have voted against it because "there is no justification for that many rows".

See the corresponding bug in LibreOffice, and how professionally it has been
dealt with (and resolved): https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35411 .
