Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 84476
ODFF: RANK function with multiple ranges
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:15:24 UTC
Received file created in MS Excel 2003 that has data in A2:A10 A12:A20 A22:A30. Then in B2 is =RANK(A2; (A2:A10,A12:A20,A22:A30), 1) which shows as Err:508 but works in Excel. The gaps are due to summary values in the other rows. Incidentally, if I remove the extra rows and make the formula =RANK(A2;A2:A200,1) I do not even get the right answer! (There is no number 1 rank; it starts at 3 and ends 2 higher than the number of entries.)
Please attach a file showing your problem. Frank

I think the rank number starting at 3 had to do with me using $A$1:$A$230 when the data really started at $A$7. That part is at least resolved (testing in Linux; assuming it will work the same in Windows.) Test file created in OOo 2.3.0-6.4.fc7 based on data from the original file.
Hi Eike, as you told me, multiple ranges are not possible at this time, so this is re-flagged as enhancement and targeted to 3.x. Frank
Range lists aka union operator (in Excel (range1,range2,...)) aren't supported yet. ODFF relevant, interoperability.
This was actually implemented with issue 32341.
Verified in CWS build.
Present in master, closing.
