FA-11370 / Spreadsheet calculation semantics / Member archive
An unused IF branch propagates its error · case 05
A valid chosen value is replaced by an error from an unchosen branch.
Case contract
Each branch is a [numerator,denominator] integer division expression with both operands in the inclusive range -1000000 through 1000000. IF evaluates only its chosen branch, returning a binary floating-point quotient or #DIV/0! when its selected denominator is zero. This bounded model excludes overflow.
Why this case matters
This isolated spreadsheet model makes cell semantics explicit; it does not claim compatibility with every workbook engine.
One recorded failure
