| Formula | Description | Result | Expected | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| =ROW() | No argument: ROW() returns the row of the cell containing the formula itself. This case's formula lands in cell F1 by default, which is row 1 | 1 | 1 The harness writes each case's formula into cell F1 (row 1, column 6); ROW() with no anchor argument returns the formula's own row, i.e. 1 |
Matched |
| =ROW(A9) | Explicit single-cell reference argument overrides the formula's own location | 9 | 9 | Matched |
| =ROW(A5:A10) | In non-array (scalar) context, ROW() of a multi-row range returns the row number of the FIRST row of the reference | 5 | 5 | Matched |
| =ROW(A100) | Sanity check with a larger row number | 100 | 100 | Matched |
