--- Comment #3 from mattia.b89 <[email protected]> ---
yes, @ady was right, my opening description is poor and case is complicated;
I'll remedy here:

*FOREWORD: with "sum/average" I am talking about the automatic calculation
results shown in the status bar, on the right, just before the zoom slider*

Referring to my screencast, I show you three issues:

1- if I select column H (all numeric values), sum/average is calculated; and
this is done both if I select the first cell and drag cursor until last one OR
I individually select those cells;
with column I (containing a problematic cell "Err:510"), if I selects cells by
dragging the cursor, sum/average is EMPTY, no calculation are done (and this is
right!) but none message is shown (around time 0:10 in my video);

this is FIRST ISSUE: if I select something, I'd like to see values for
sum/average OR the reason why Calc can't do its work; in a few word, a better
sum/average error handling [enhancement].

2- if I individually select cells in column I, first two cells (numeric) return
sum/average values and as soon as (around time 0:29 in my video) I include the
third cell (Err:510), sum/average in the status bar CORRECTLY! changes in
"Error: Variable missing";
unfortunately situation goes back to EMPTY sum/average when I select other
numeric cells;
but here is the SECOND ISSUE: if I deselect the "Err:510" cell (time 0:34) the
sum/average values got updated to a wrong result, that is "Error: Variable
missing", even if current selection contains only good cells [bug];

3- the THIRD and last comes now: how to fix the second issue? the following
workaround works: simply select a good cell (I pick one from column H) and then
immediately deselect it (time 0:37); you can notice sum/average values change
accordingly; in a few word, sum/average calculation didn't get update with a
problematic cell [bug], indeed I need to "force" an update by
selecting/deselecting a foreign cell.

I hope this will clarify my report.
