Do you mean that in Excel those two have different semantics, and the first does include all sheets in between where the second does not? I don't think so, just tried in Excel2007, the first (with ! instead of .) gave a #VALUE! error, only the second works and evaluates sheets between. The expression SUM('Sheet1'!A1:'Sheet1':B1) is accepted and evaluates correctly only for identical sheets, it seems. Doug or Eric, could you please confirm or deny? > So they are not equivalent! Also Calc includes all sheets between Sheet1 and Sheet2 in a reference 'Sheet1'.B4:'Sheet2'.C5. I think this is expressed by "the cube" mentioned in my earlier mail.
