List of Spreadsheet Functions Currently Not Supported in LO
This is a list of functions which other spreadsheet applications or standards (like ODF or OOXML) have integrated but which currently are not supported in LibreOffice. Some of these have workarounds while others do not. This list originated from bug report tdf#46918 which has been closed and moved to the wiki in order for the LibreOffice team to better organize and prioritize the list of functions. When a function is in the works the assigned developer will open a bug corresponding to that particular function. If there is a particular function which a user thinks is really valuable but not in LibreOffice, please email the development mailing list and we'll see if someone can pick it up.
If you pick up a function to implement please update the wiki table below and create a new bug in bugzilla for that particular function.
