Eike Rathke updated OFFICE-2174:
--------------------------------

    Proposal: 
For LEGACY.CHITEST, CORREL, PEARSON, STEYX, COVAR, SLOPE, INTERCEPT, RSQ, FORECAST, TTEST

Change parameter types to ForceArray Array instead of ForceArray NumberSequence.

With A being the first array and B being the second array:
Constraints: COLUMNS(A) = COLUMNS(B), ROWS(A) = ROWS(B)

Add to Semantics:
For an empty element or an element of type Text or Boolean in A the element at the corresponding position of B is ignored, and vice versa.


For GROWTH, TREND, LINEST, LOGEST

Constraints: COLUMNS(A) = COLUMNS(B), ROWS(A) = ROWS(B), COUNT(A) = COUNT(B)


NumberSequence in those functions that take two corresponding sequences/arrays is not the correct parameter type. Inspecting the behavior of Excel, Gnumeric and Calc revealed that for many functions a non-Number type encountered in one array makes the function ignore a number at the corresponding position of the other array. However, Calc 3.1.1 returns an error for LEGACY.CHITEST in that case.

> Broken out from bulk issue OFFICE-790
> For some functions the evaluation order of the elements of sequences passed as arguments is significant.
> Affected functions are at least CORREL and PEARSON, check other functions as well.
