--- Comment #1 from Eike Rathke <[email protected]> ---
This seems to be an Excel speciality nonsense.
Apparently the cell range F1:F4 is forced into an array evaluation for
--(F1:F4) without even entering the =SUM(--(F1:F4)) formula as array mode
formula. Hence when in Calc for the formula on any row other than in 1:4 there
is no implicit intersection with F1:F4 and the result is #VALUE! (in a row of
1:4 it would be the value of the one intersected cell of F1:F4).

Effectively --(F1:F4) should be the same as -(-(F1:F4)) or --F1:F4 but likely
Excel treats them different and =SUM(-(-(F1:F4))) and =SUM(--(F1:F4)) and
SUM(--F1:F4) would not all produce the same results.

I'm against implementing this unless it would be clearly specified by the ODF
OpenFormula (ODFF) standard.
