examples
formula and result, taken from the engine's own test suite — every result below is asserted in CI, not written by hand.
fx
=SEQUENCE(5) 1 fx
=SEQUENCE(2, 3, 10, 10) 10 errors
error values observed from the engine — each with a call that produces it.
| error | produced by |
|---|---|
| #ERROR! | =SEQUENCE(1000,1001) |
| #CALC! | =SEQUENCE(0) |
| #VALUE! | =SEQUENCE(1,16385) |
