--- Comment #8 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> ---
(In reply to Werner Tietz from comment #5)

The "doesnt (and wasnt!) work this way" is *never* a reason to close an
enhancement request. Enhancements are exactly to make something to happen, that
wasn't here before. OP didn't set the Enhancement properly; but they made an
effort to express this ("Could support for passing arrays to SUMIF and SUBTOTAL
be added?" in comment 0, also in comment 2). Triaging should not behave in a
robotic way.

I support the request - based on comment 7, which definitely shows that the
functions do support inline arrays *in some form*, so not supporting them
without the optional third argument is inconsistent; and the specific detail of
the *current* behavior is a real bug: *if* the functions follow ODF spec
literally (as in "Constraints: Does not accept constant values as the reference
parameter" on ODF 1.3 6.13.9 COUNTIF, 6.16.62 SUMIF, etc.), then it must emit
an *error* when user passes inline array with constant values in that argument,
not a 0 with absent third argument, nor a correct result with the third
argument present. So the current 0 is a bug from any point of view.

I revert it back to UNCONFIRMED. Please update the status based on some better
arguments.
