LibreOffice version history
We executed the same test cases under each LibreOffice release to show exactly when AND’s support changed — not documentation claims, real results.

Executed test cases
LibreOffice Calc 25.8.7.3 (tested 2026-08-06)
| Formula | Description | Result | Expected | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| =AND(TRUE,TRUE) | Both arguments TRUE -> TRUE | True | True | Matched |
| =AND(TRUE,FALSE) | One argument FALSE -> FALSE | False | False | Matched |
| =AND(A1:A3) | A range of numbers is coerced to logical values (0=FALSE, nonzero=TRUE); one zero makes the whole AND FALSE | False | False Numeric coercion in ranges confirmed via https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/excel-and-or-xor-not-functions/ since Microsoft's own AND page doesn't give an explicit numeric example. |
Matched |
| =AND(A1:A3) | A range of all-nonzero numbers coerces to all-TRUE -> TRUE | True | True | Matched |
| =AND(TRUE,"abc") | An arbitrary text literal (not a range) does not evaluate to a logical value -> #VALUE!, per doc: 'arguments must evaluate to logical values' | #VALUE! | #VALUE! | Matched |
