Excel's worksheet functions, category by category, against GridCraft's function library. Part of
[target-app-parity.md](target-app-parity.md); gaps feed [gaps.md](gaps.md).

## How this is measured

- **Excel's list (523):** Microsoft's "Excel functions (alphabetical)" support page, fetched and
  parsed on 2026-10-10 (506 rows with their category and the Excel version that introduced
  them), plus 14 text functions the page lists under combined entries (FIND/FINDB, LEFT/LEFTB,
  LEN/LENB, MID/MIDB, REPLACE/REPLACEB, RIGHT/RIGHTB, SEARCH/SEARCHB), BETA.INV, and COPILOT and
  PY (Microsoft 365 functions not on that page when fetched).
- **Ours (505):** every function spec in `crates/functions/src/*.rs` (`f!("NAME", …)`) plus the
- **Ours (503):** every function spec in `crates/functions/src/*.rs` (`f!("NAME", …)`) plus the
- **Ours (502):** every function spec in `crates/functions/src/*.rs` (`f!("NAME", …)`) plus the
- **Ours (502):** every function spec in `crates/functions/src/*.rs` (`f!("NAME", …)`) plus the
- **Ours (505):** every function spec in `crates/functions/src/*.rs` (`f!("NAME", …)`) plus the
  evaluator's special forms in `crates/calc/src/eval.rs` (`SPECIAL_FUNCTIONS`: IF, IFS, CHOOSE,
  OFFSET, INDIRECT, INDEX, SUBTOTAL, AGGREGATE, TEXT, LET, LAMBDA, MAP, REDUCE, SCAN, BYROW, BYCOL,
  MAKEARRAY…), excluding the test-only `ADD2`. Every one is an Excel name.
- **Not on Microsoft's list:** USDOLLAR and ECMA.CEILING, legacy functions Excel still evaluates (like DOLLAR),
  are in our library as Compatibility functions for files that use them. They are not counted above.
- **Working** excludes stubs that return an error by design: the 7 CUBE functions (`#N/A`, no
  cube connections) and WEBSERVICE and FILTERXML (`#VALUE!`). Excel for Mac also lacks
  WEBSERVICE and FILTERXML; Excel for Windows has them.
- The measurement is **presence**. Depth (edge cases matching Excel) is estimated below.

## Coverage

**Measured: 513 / 523 by name (98.1%); 504 / 523 working (96.4%).**

| Category | Excel | Ours | Working | % working | Missing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Statistical | 111 | 111 | 111 | 100% | — |
| Math and trigonometry | 80 | 79 | 79 | 99% | PERCENTOF |
| Financial | 55 | 55 | 55 | 100% | — |
| Engineering | 54 | 54 | 54 | 100% | — |
| Text | 50 | 48 | 48 | 96% | DETECTLANGUAGE, TRANSLATE |
| Lookup and reference | 40 | 36 | 36 | 90% | GETPIVOTDATA, IMAGE, RTD, TRIMRANGE |

By the Excel version that introduced them (working / total): before 2010 346 / 360, 2010
56 / 56, 2013 49 / 51, 2016 1 / 5, 2019 6 / 6, 2021 11 / 11, 2024 22 / 23, Microsoft 365 5 / 11.
Dynamic-array and LAMBDA-era functions (FILTER, SORT, UNIQUE, XLOOKUP, VSTACK, TAKE, GROUPBY,
PIVOTBY, REGEXTEST…) are all present.

FORECAST.ETS missing-point interpolation walks known points once, so filling a long gap takes
linear work in the completed timeline length (#1042). Interpolation values, nearest-value
endpoint handling, zero-fill mode and the existing 30% missing-point limit are unchanged.
This improves series preparation; it does not change the model-fitting or seasonality algorithms.

### Scope of what's missing

| Function(s) | In scope? | Estimate | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| FORECAST.ETS family (4) | yes | 4–6 h | AAA exponential smoothing with seasonality detection; needed for Forecast Sheet too |
| ODDFPRICE, ODDFYIELD, ODDLPRICE, ODDLYIELD | yes | 2–4 h | Odd first/last period bond maths |
| GETPIVOTDATA | yes | 2–3 h | Needs the pivot engine's result cache; also the "Generate GetPivotData" option |
| IMAGE | yes | 3–5 h | Pictures in cells (see PR #105); fetching URLs needs a privacy decision |
| CUBE* (7), WEBSERVICE, FILTERXML | partly | 4–8 h | FILTERXML can work offline; CUBE needs an OLAP/data-model source |
| TRANSLATE, DETECTLANGUAGE, STOCKHISTORY, COPILOT, PY | no (cloud) | — | Microsoft cloud services; open equivalents only by owner decision |
| CALL, REGISTER.ID, RTD | no | — | Native DLL/COM calls; not portable or safe |

## Formula language

| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| A1 and R1C1 references, absolute/relative/mixed, F4 cycling | done |
| 3-D references (`Sheet1:Sheet3!A1`) | done; deleting a span's end sheet keeps the rest (#140) |
| Structured references (`Table1[Col]`, `[#Totals]`, `@`; the unbracketed `[[#This Row],Col]` some writers emit) | done |
| Defined names (workbook and sheet scope), Create from Selection | done |
| Dynamic arrays, spill, `#SPILL!`, spill operator `A1#` | done; stale spills after a structural edit or a cleared blocker fixed (#133, #139; PRs #148, #157) |
| Recalculation after clearing large sparse ranges | every stored cell changed by Clear is reported to recalculation, without a million-coordinate cutoff; removed formula spills are cleared, and removing empty merges still unblocks spills (#1032) |
| SUBTOTAL / AGGREGATE input size | references trim to the used range; all areas, arrays and values of one call are charged against the 16-million-cell limit before any cell is read (skipped hidden, nested and error cells count), and `#NUM!` past it (#2175) |
| Implicit intersection `@`, legacy CSE array formulas | done; legacy array range fill (PR #156) |
| Implicit intersection `@`, legacy CSE array formulas | done, the entered range filled (PR #156) |
| Array lifting: an array in a scalar argument evaluates the function per element | done. The Analysis ToolPak functions (EOMONTH, EDATE, WORKDAY(.INTL), NETWORKDAYS(.INTL), YEARFRAC, WEEKNUM, the COUP*, PRICE*, YIELD*, ODD*, TBILL*, ACCRINT*, AMOR*, DISC, DURATION, CUMIPMT/CUMPRINC, EFFECT, NOMINAL, DOLLARDE/FR, XNPV/XIRR rate and guess, FVSCHEDULE principal, ISEVEN/ISODD, QUOTIENT, MROUND, FACTDOUBLE, SQRTPI, RANDBETWEEN, SERIESSUM, the base conversions, CONVERT, DELTA, GESTEP, ERF/ERFC, BESSEL*, COMPLEX and IM* except IMSUM/IMPRODUCT) give `#VALUE!` for a reference to more than one cell in a value argument, as Excel 365 does in both dynamic-array and legacy formulas; array constants and computed arrays (`A1:A3+0`) still lift, and range arguments (holidays, schedule, cash flows) and the .INTL weekend accept ranges. Difference: BYROW/BYCOL pass their row or column to the LAMBDA as values, so `BYROW(A1:B3,LAMBDA(r,EOMONTH(r,0)))` lifts where Excel gives `#VALUE!` |
| YEARFRAC basis 0, February-end start to day 31 | done: Excel 16.0 returns 31/360 for `YEARFRAC(2021-02-28,2021-03-31,0)` (0.08611111111111111); regression also covers leap day and reversed dates |
| Trim references `A1:.E10` (trailing), `A1.:E10` (leading), `A1.:.E10` (both), also on whole rows/columns (`A:.A`) | done; evaluated as `TRIMRANGE(range, code, code)`, adjusted on insert/delete; files store `_xlfn.TRIMRANGE(range,code,code)` (Excel's own file spelling unconfirmed in public docs), `_xlfn._TRO_ALL/_TRO_LEADING/_TRO_TRAILING(...)` read too |
| LET, LAMBDA, named LAMBDAs, ISOMITTED, MAP/REDUCE/SCAN/BYROW/BYCOL/MAKEARRAY | done. A LAMBDA that calls itself more than 140 times, or a formula nested past the depth limit, gives `#NUM!` (the target app allows deeper recursion, #1581). Calling a defined name that holds an error value gives that error, not `#NAME?` |
| Set precision as displayed | done: with the option on (`formulas.calculationOptions` `{precisionAsDisplayed}`, read and saved as `<calcPr fullPrecision="0">` and the `.xls` CalcPrecision record), a formula result, each element of a spill, and a number typed or reformatted are stored as the cell's number format shows them, and other formulas read the rounded value. Fixed decimals, percent, thousands scaling (`0.0,,`), fractions and scientific formats round; General, date and time, text and digitless formats keep the full value, as observed in Excel. Conditions don't pick the section that rounds: the sign does, the first section for positives and the second for negatives, so `[<1]0.00;0` stores 2+1/3 as 2.33 though it shows `2`, and -10/3 as -3; with a condition and a single number section, negatives keep the full value; a completely empty section (`0.0;;0.000`) passes to the next. Turning it on rounds every number constant (permanently); turning it off restores formulas only. Differences: Excel also rounds General constants it shows in scientific notation when the option is turned on (GridCraft leaves General alone); a `%` inside a scientific format is left unrounded; no Options dialog checkbox yet (command only) |
| Iterative calculation for circular references | done: with Enable Iterative Calculation on (`formulas.calculationOptions` `{iterative, maxIterations, maxChange}`, saved as `<calcPr iterate iterateCount iterateDelta>`), loops are evaluated again from their previous values (blank = 0) until no cell on a loop changes by Maximum Change or Maximum Iterations is reached; off, cycles give `#CIRC!`. Set in File › Options › Formulas (Enable iterative calculation, Maximum Iterations 1 to 32767, Maximum Change 0 or more; the two fields are disabled while iteration is off). Differences: GridCraft recalculates on open, so a loop that never settles (`=A1+1`) advances again each time the file is opened |
| 15-significant-digit comparison semantics | done (#57): `=0.1+0.2=0.3` is TRUE, and MATCH and COUNTIF compare the same way. Arithmetic keeps full precision, as Excel does — `=(0.1+0.2)-0.3` is 5.55E-17 |
| IMSQRT and the other IM* functions against Excel's text | IMSQRT follows Excel's polar route, so a negative real gives Excel's stray real part: `IMSQRT("-4")` is `1.22514845490862E-16+2i` (checked in Excel 16.0 on 79 inputs). Differences kept: IMSQRT of a number with a part above about 1E154 or below about 1E-155 gives the exact root (Excel gives `#NUM!` or 0); IMPOWER, IMEXP, IMSIN, IMCOS, IMSINH and IMCOSH keep exact results where Excel shows the same kind of noise (`IMPOWER("-4",2)` is `16-3.92047505570758E-15i`) or different trailing digits near multiples of pi/2; IMCSC and IMCSCH differ by one unit in the 15th digit; IMARGUMENT returns 16–17 digits where Excel returns 15; the text of IM* and COMPLEX results differs for some magnitudes (Excel writes `COMPLEX(1E-10,1)` as `0.0000000001+i` but `COMPLEX(0.000000123456789012345,1)` as `1.23456789012345E-07+i`, and an integer past 15 digits rounded and zero-padded) |
| MOD quotient limit | done: Excel 16.0 returns `#NUM!` when `ABS(number/divisor) >= 1.1259E12`; lower quotients retain the remainder |
| PERCENTRANK significance and precision | done: Excel 16.0 returns `#DIV/0!` from significance 309, and rounds to 15 significant digits for significance 15–308 |
| External workbook references (`[Book.xlsx]Sheet1!A1`) | parsed; links dropped on open, no update |
| Localized function names and `;` separators | **missing** (#45); en-US only |
| Long flat operator chains (`=A1+A2+…`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `^`, `&`, comparisons) | done: no operand limit below Excel's 8,192-character formula limit (Excel, observed: `=1+1+…` with 4,096 operands is exactly 8,192 characters with the `=` and calculates; one more character is refused). Evaluated (#484), printed (#628), stored, copied, adjusted, saved and reopened without recursing once per operand, on a 1 MiB stack (#916); written to XLSX as plain formulas, not dynamic arrays; Spanish entry accepts them |
| Error values | the seven classic errors plus `#SPILL!`, `#CALC!`, `#GETTING_DATA`, and the Python errors `#PYTHON!`, `#BUSY!`, `#TIMEOUT!`, `#BLOCKED!` done; `#FIELD!`, `#CONNECT!`, `#UNKNOWN!` missing (minor: they come from data types and cloud features). `ERROR.TYPE` gives 11 for `#BLOCKED!` as Excel does; Microsoft documents no number for `#PYTHON!`, `#BUSY!` or `#TIMEOUT!`, and GridCraft gives them 19, 20 and 21 |
| Python in cells | partial: Python cells are stored, edited (`python.set`, and Python mode in the formula bar: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P or `=PY` then Tab), copied, moved and saved, and Excel's `_xlfn._xlws.PY` cells open with their cached results; the code doesn't run, so new or changed code shows `#BLOCKED!`. Typing `=PY(` and Enter is refused with a pointer to `python.set`, so `PY` stays counted as missing above |

## Depth (estimated)

| Function | Excel parity note |
|---|---|
| BINOM.DIST / BINOM.DIST.RANGE | Trial count is truncated, then must be at most 2,147,483,646; larger trials return `#NUM!`. |
| BETA.DIST | Density mode returns `#NUM!` at the lower or upper interval endpoint when the corresponding shape parameter is less than or equal to 1; cumulative endpoint results remain 0 and 1. |
| HARMEAN | Returns `#N/A` when arrays and references contain no numeric observations; zero and negative numeric observations still return `#NUM!`. |

**~82% ready.** The library is broad and has 96 test functions in `crates/functions` with many
assertions each, but there is no conformance suite against Excel-computed results, and user
reports keep finding edge cases: MIN() with no arguments (#138), COUNTBLANK past the used range
(#137, and past 16,384 cells #1010, fixed 10-14 for bounded references), ROUND at 15 digits and DATE(1900,2,29) (fixed 10-09), SUMIF sum-range sizing (fixed
10-09). Statistical distributions and financial functions with iterative solvers (RATE, IRR,
XIRR, YIELD) are the highest-risk for last-digit differences.

TEXT() and cell display share `crates/numfmt`; checked against Excel-cached results in
number- and text-format test workbooks (352 TEXT cells), all match:
fraction sections with literal text (`#\:#=/=#`, `#_#/#`), zero fractions, zero-padded
denominators, `?` placeholders padding the thousands separator, and booleans through the text
section (`TEXT(TRUE,";;;\@@\@")` = `@TRUE@`).

`MEDIAN` and `AGGREGATE` function number 12 use an overflow-safe midpoint for even-sized
inputs, so large finite middle values do not become `#NUM!` merely because their sum overflows (#1579).
Sorting, argument coercion and error propagation are unchanged; this is a numerical correction
under the documented median rule, not an extreme-value comparison against desktop Excel.

Work to close (16–26 h in total): the in-scope missing functions (10–16 h with the table above),
an oracle corpus of Excel-computed results per function (owner runs Excel on generated
workbooks; results checked in as data, not Excel files) and fixing what it finds (6–10 h).

## Revision history

| Date | Change | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-11-03 | minor | GROUPBY: a total depth of 2 or more adds a subtotal line for each group of the leading key columns (after the group, or before it for a negative depth) and labels the last line Grand Total; a depth past the key columns, or above 1 with `field_relationship` 1, is `#VALUE!`, as in Excel (#1456 item 1) |
| 2026-11-01 | minor | Python in cells row: Python mode in the formula bar |
| 2026-11-01 | minor | Python in cells (stored, not run): `#PYTHON!`, `#BUSY!`, `#TIMEOUT!` and `#BLOCKED!` done, with their `ERROR.TYPE` numbers; `PY` still counted as missing |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | BIN2*, HEX2* and OCT2* reject surrounding spaces and tabs in source strings with `#NUM!`, matching Excel; plain unpadded values remain valid |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | DEC2BIN, DEC2HEX and DEC2OCT validate `places` before returning negative two's-complement output, and Boolean places return `#VALUE!`, matching Excel |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | BITLSHIFT and BITRSHIFT return `0` for zero operands shifted beyond 53 bits in either direction; nonzero operands retain the `#NUM!` limit, matching Excel |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | UNICHAR returns `#N/A` for U+FDD0–U+FDEF and U+FFFE/U+FFFF on every plane; adjacent valid characters and existing invalid-range/surrogate errors remain unchanged, matching Excel |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | UPPER, LOWER and PROPER use single-character casing: `UPPER("Straße")` keeps ß, `LOWER("İ")` returns i, and `PROPER("İSTANBUL")` returns Istanbul, matching Windows Excel 16.0 build 20527 in LCID 1033 |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | FIXED and DOLLAR format the rounded number's shortest decimal representation before padding requested fractional zeroes, so 1.1 at 16 places and 1.005 at 20 places do not expose binary noise; measured in Windows Excel 16.0 build 20527, LCID 1033 |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | FIXED accepts output through 255 characters; DOLLAR accepts output through 254. Windows Excel 16.0 build 20527 (LCID 1033) confirmed the distinct cutoffs with grouped and ungrouped values, signs, currency layout and decimal places |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | DOLLAR uses the input sign for negative amounts that round to zero at nonnegative decimal places (`DOLLAR(-0.0001,0)` is `($0)`); when negative decimal places round to zero, Excel returns `$0`. Exact zero and negative zero stay unsigned; FIXED still returns `0` for `FIXED(-0.0001,0)` |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | F.DIST, F.DIST.RT, F.INV and F.INV.RT accept degrees of freedom at the 10-billion boundary; F.INV uses the complementary tail, with a gamma-tail limit when numerator degrees dominate, to preserve inverse accuracy; values above the limit remain invalid |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | T.DIST returns `#DIV/0!` in density mode and `#NUM!` in cumulative mode when degrees truncate to zero; negative integer degrees remain `#NUM!` |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | Student-t density uses an asymptotic log-gamma ratio for large degrees of freedom, avoiding cancellation while preserving bounded work; checked against Excel at 100 million and 10 billion degrees |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | T.INV probability zero returns `#DIV/0!`, while other out-of-range probabilities and invalid degrees remain `#NUM!`; T.INV.2T keeps its separate boundary behavior |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | GAMMA.DIST density at x=0 and shape 1 returns `#NUM!` for all positive scales; the cumulative branch and other shape boundaries are unchanged |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | WEIBULL.DIST returns zero at x=0 in both density and cumulative modes, including shape below one; negative x remains `#NUM!` |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | BINOM.DIST and BINOM.DIST.RANGE reject trial counts above 2,147,483,646 after truncation |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | BETA.DIST density returns `#NUM!` at the lower endpoint with alpha less than or equal to 1 and upper endpoint with beta less than or equal to 1; cumulative behavior is unchanged |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | HARMEAN returns `#N/A` when array or reference inputs contain no numbers; nonpositive numeric observations remain `#NUM!` |
| 2026-10-31 | minor | YEARFRAC basis 0 tests the end-31 rule against the original start day; MOD returns `#NUM!` from a quotient of 1.1259E12; PERCENTRANK returns `#DIV/0!` from significance 309 and 15 significant digits from 15 (Excel 16) |
| 2026-10-27 | minor | ECMA.CEILING added to the functions that are in our library but not on Microsoft's list (with USDOLLAR), so the counts don't change |
| 2026-10-26 | minor | IMSQRT uses Excel's polar route with its cosine reduction, so `IMSQRT("-4")` is `1.22514845490862E-16+2i` as in Excel (exact `2i` before); the rows list the IM* differences still open |
| 2026-10-25 | minor | LAMBDA row: a LAMBDA that calls itself more than 140 times, and a formula nested past the depth limit, give `#NUM!` (#1809; nesting gave `#CALC!` before). `=Foo(1)` where the defined name Foo holds `#N/A` gives `#N/A`, not `#NAME?` |
| 2026-10-23 | minor | Number text coercion (VALUE, arithmetic, typed entry): a dollar sign before accounting parentheses (`$(1,234)`, `$ (5)`) and a percent sign after them (`(5)%`) read as negatives; `(-5)`, `((5))`, `($-5)`, `$5%`, `$(5)%` and dates or times in parentheses are `#VALUE!`, as observed in Excel 365 |
| 2026-10-23 | minor | INDEX with only a row index on a reference of several rows and columns (`INDEX(A1:C3,2)`, `INDEX(A1:C3,0)`) is `#REF!`, as observed in Excel, so it also fails as a range endpoint and inside other functions; an empty column argument (`INDEX(A1:C3,2,)`) still gives the row. Checked that a column array with one index stays a 1×1 array (`TYPE` 64), which is what Excel returns |
| 2026-10-21 | minor | SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE charge every argument against the evaluator's 16-million-cell limit before scanning; a value in XFD1048576 no longer makes `SUBTOTAL(9,A:XFD)` read the whole sheet (#2175) |
| 2026-10-19 | minor | LET and LAMBDA names compare case-insensitively in any script, as in Excel: `=LET(dług,100,DŁUG*2)` is 200 (was #NAME?); also LET-bound lambdas called or passed by name (`żar(2)`, `MAP(…,Λ)`), `ISOMITTED`, and formula-bar alias translation (one shared `gridcraft_formula::same_name`, which matches `ß` with `ẞ` and keeps dotless `ı` apart from `i`) |
| 2026-10-19 | minor | Long flat operator chains (#916): 4,096 operands (Excel's 8,192-character limit) no longer overflow the stack when entered, filled, adjusted or saved; chains past 64 operands are no longer saved as dynamic-array formulas; Spanish entry no longer refuses chains past 256 operands |
| 2026-10-17 | minor | 15-significant-digit comparison moved from missing to done (#57), and the resolved caveats on the 3-D reference, dynamic-array and legacy-array rows cleared (#140, #133, #139, #156) |
| 2026-10-16 | minor | FORECAST.ETS gap interpolation uses a forward-only known-point scan instead of rescanning each gap for every missing value; numerical behavior and missing-point limits are preserved (#1042) |
| 2026-10-15 | minor | Iterative calculation: Maximum Iterations and Maximum Change are set in File › Options › Formulas (dropped "no Options dialog yet") |
| 2026-10-15 | minor | MEDIAN and AGGREGATE median use an overflow-safe midpoint (#1579); regressions cover finite extremes, tiny values and dependent recalculation |
| 2026-10-15 | minor | ADDRESS quotes a sheet name the way Excel does: names that read as an A1 cell (`A1`) or an R1C1 reference (`R1C1`, `RC`) and names starting with `.` get quotes; `TRUE` / `FALSE` stay bare (#1458) |
| 2026-10-14 | minor | MATCH, XMATCH, VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, XLOOKUP and LOOKUP compare numbers exactly in every match and search mode, as Excel 365 does: `MATCH(0.1+0.2,{0.3},0)` is `#N/A` and 0.3 sorts below 0.30000000000000004 in approximate and binary search. `=`, SWITCH and the criteria functions (COUNTIF(S), SUMIF(S), AVERAGEIF(S), MAXIFS…) keep comparing at 15 significant digits, also as observed |
| 2026-10-14 | minor | Analysis ToolPak value arguments (EOMONTH, WORKDAY, YEARFRAC, COUPDAYS, DISC, BIN2DEC, IM* and the rest, observed in Excel 365) give `#VALUE!` for a multi-cell reference instead of lifting it |
| 2026-10-13 | minor | Clear reports changed stored cells sparsely, including those beyond the first million coordinates; dependent formulas and removed spills update, while clearing empty merges still unblocks spills (#1032) |
| 2026-10-14 | minor | Set precision as displayed: results, spills and typed or reformatted numbers are stored as their format shows them when the option is on (#1343) |
| 2026-10-14 | minor | Bounded references up to 1,048,576 cells (`D3:AZ400`) keep their full shape instead of stopping at the used range, so `SUMPRODUCT(D3:AZ400*B3:B400,(A3:A400=x)*(D1:AZ1=y))` broadcasts like Excel and `ROWS`, `COUNTBLANK` and `--(r="")` count the blanks; references that run to the edge of the sheet (`A:A`) still stop at the used range (#1010) |
| 2026-10-12 | minor | USDOLLAR added as a Compatibility function (not on Microsoft's list, so the counts don't change); MIRR with no positive flow is -1, COUNTIF's bare `"<="` / `">="` skip empty strings, INDIRECT with `a1` = FALSE gives `#REF!` for A1-style text (#738) |
| 2026-10-11 | minor | TEXT / number formats fixed against Excel-cached results: fraction literals and zero fractions, `0` denominators zero padded, `?` pads the thousands separator, booleans use the text section (226 mismatches → 0 in 352 TEXT cells) |
| 2026-10-11 | minor | Iterative calculation: circular references iterate up to Maximum Iterations / Maximum Change when enabled |
| 2026-10-11 | minor | Trim-reference operators (`:.`, `.:`, `.:.`) and unbracketed `[[#This Row],Col]` done; dropped the stale "Scope of what's missing" rows for TRIMRANGE, PERCENTOF, BAHTTEXT and the trim references |
| 2026-10-11 | minor | Fixes from the cached-value oracle (`gridcraft-cli check`): MODE / MODE.SNGL / MODE.MULT give `#VALUE!` for text in a direct argument or single-cell reference; `VALUE("")` is `#VALUE!`; SUMPRODUCT with a text scalar argument is `#VALUE!`; ADDRESS leaves `[Book]Sheet` unquoted; VLOOKUP / HLOOKUP / LOOKUP / MATCH approximate match bisect like Excel on unsorted mixed-type data; XLOOKUP / XMATCH binary search compares across types in sort order; SUBTOTAL leaves out filtered rows for every function number (table and sheet AutoFilters) |
