Does not support reference operators

Open wojciechczerniak opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Description

HyperFormula does not support reference operators for union and intersection.

⚠️ Because there are differences in syntax it might be necessary to add configuration #58 options.

Differences in implementations

Excel

Reference operator Meaning Example
: (colon) Range operator, which produces one reference to all the cells between two references, including the two references B5:B15
, (comma) Union operator, which combines multiple references into one reference SUM(B5:B15,D5:D15)
(space) Intersection operator, which returns a reference to the cells common to the ranges in the formula. In this example, cell C7 is found in both ranges, so it is the intersection.

Libre Calc

Operator Name Example
: (Colon) Range A1:C108
! (Exclamation point) Intersection SUM(A1:B6!B5:C12) Calculates the sum of all cells in the intersection; in this example, the result yields the sum of cells B5 and B6.
~ (Tilde) Concatenation or union Takes two references and returns a reference list, which is a concatenation of the left reference followed by the right reference. Double entries are referenced twice.

Google Spreadsheet

Not supported.
