--- Comment #7 from Robert Lacroix <[email protected]> --- -1 (for now). I would refrain from adding a compatible feature into LO-Calc until this really hits the Windows desktop version of Excel. I agree in general about interoperability with Excel. However, these functions are generally available only in the cloud and Mac versions, with appearance in Windows as Beta. It would surprise me for MS to implement a copy of LO-Calc's REGEX, as MS in the past has copied features of the competition in domains where the competition had a substantial market lead which MS could effectively expropriate. That doesn't apply here. Furthermore, Excel product management is more focussed on market leadership than innovation leadership. The risk to reward ratio is too high in the enterprise desktop market, which Windows dominates, for MS to destabilize by gambling with new functionality. REGEXTEST Function Applies To: Excel for Microsoft 365 Excel for Microsoft 365 for Mac https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/functions/regextest-function I prefer the LO-Calc REGEX function anyway, and will shortly be submitting a simple proposal to make it even better. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
