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

| 25.2.0.3 | Supported, behaves as documented | 2026-07-24 |

Executed test cases
LibreOffice Calc 25.8.7.3 (tested 2026-08-06)
| Formula | Description | Result | Expected | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| =ROWS(RANDARRAY(2,3))*10+COLUMNS(RANDARRAY(2,3)) | Values are random but the requested shape is not: a 2x3 RANDARRAY must have 2 rows and 3 columns (encoded as 23) | 23 | 23 | Matched |
| =AND(MIN(RANDARRAY(10,10))>=0,MAX(RANDARRAY(10,10))<1) | With no min/max arguments, every value is a decimal in [0,1) — deterministic bounds on non-deterministic values | True | True | Matched |
