LibreOffice version history

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

FormulaDescriptionResultExpectedVerdict
=XOR(TRUE,TRUE,TRUE) An ODD number of TRUE arguments (3) -> TRUE True True
Odd/even TRUE-count rule confirmed via https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/xor-function-1548d4c2-5e47-4f77-9a92-0533bba14f37		 Matched
=XOR(TRUE,TRUE) An EVEN number of TRUE arguments (2) -> FALSE, matching docs' own example =XOR(3>0,2<9) -> FALSE False False Matched
=XOR(FALSE,FALSE) Zero TRUE arguments counts as even -> FALSE, matching docs' own example =XOR(3>12,4>6) -> FALSE False False Matched
=XOR(TRUE) A single TRUE argument (odd count = 1) -> TRUE True True Matched
=XOR(A1:A3) Numbers in a range are coerced to logical (0=FALSE, nonzero=TRUE); here two nonzero values -> 2 TRUEs (even) -> FALSE False False Matched
