Description crissly 2004-11-30 09:17:19 UTC 
- Open a spreadsheet and enter numbers: 1, 0, 45 in cells B7 to B9
- Click on cell C7 and insert the following: {=IF(B7:B9>0;HYPERLINK
("http://www.example.org");0)} through "Insert/Function/Logical/If/...." 
with 'array' option selected.  
NOTE: instead of normal option for TRUE condition, we have inserted a HYPERLINK 
function
- => cells C7 to C9 display the contents as shown in attachment: hyper_array1
- Also, clicking on link in cell C7 is not connected to the desired URL.  
- Now, if a similar array formula is inserted in cells F7 to F9 in the same 
way, but instead of HYPERLINK function we insert ABS function, the desired 
result is obtained. (attachment: hyper_array2)

I can't re-create this using the Formula Input Line or Insert->Function. Can you
attach a failing spreadsheet document which displays this. thanks.

Lowering the priority on this. The problem is that the hyperlink() itself
returns an array and thus it is not possible for the array formula to return an
array of arrays. I don't see it as significant bug but will look later to see if
there is a solution. It does not look like Excel handles this too well either.
