Executed test cases
LibreOffice Calc 25.8.7.3 (tested 2026-08-06)
| Formula | Description | Result | Expected | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| =IFS(A1>90,"A",A1>80,"B",TRUE,"C") | First TRUE condition wins; TRUE literal acts as catch-all | B | B | Matched |
| =IFS(A1>90,"A",A1>95,"B") | No condition true and no catch-all -> #N/A | #N/A | #N/A | Matched |
| =IFS(A1>0,"pos",A1>10,"big") | Conditions evaluated left-to-right; first match short-circuits | pos | pos A1>10 is also true but never reached |
Matched |
| =IFS(TRUE,"always",A1>0,"pos") | TRUE as the first condition always wins regardless of position | always | always | Matched |
