Bug ID: 111992
Summary: EDITING Can't enter formula in 'argument missing, use
default value instead' notation
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
TBH I don't know if this is a bug or a feature. Additionally I've been unable
to find any (Excel) documentation on this kind of formula notation so I
shamelessly hope someone on QA team can help me out here
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new spreadsheet doc
2. Enter =TODAY() into A1
3. Enter =TEXT(,A1) into B1
Actual Results:
'42970' appears in B1 (or whatever the current date is). It works that way in
MS Excel
Expected Results:
Err511 appears instead
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset:
Additional Info:
According to erAck this odd formula: =TEXT(,$address) means something like "if
an argument is missing/unspecified, use its default value" i.e. it should be an
equivalent of =TEXT($address, "@") where "@" is a general number format.
Alas it won't work like that in Calc, only in Excel
