calc: bounded references up to 1,048,576 cells keep their full shape (#1010)

A reference over 16,384 cells was cut to the sheet's used range when it was
read into an array. Next to a full-size operand the two no longer lined up:
SUMPRODUCT(D3:AZ400*B3:B400,(A3:A400=1)*(D1:AZ1=2)) gave #VALUE!,
D3:AZ400*B3:B400 filled with #N/A, and ROWS, COUNTBLANK and --(r="") lost
the blanks past the data. Excel keeps the reference's size.

Bounded references now keep their full shape up to one column's worth of
cells (1,048,576). References that run to the edge of the sheet (A:A,
A2:A1048576, several whole rows) and larger blocks still stop at the used
range, so whole-column formulas stay fast.

|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-14 | minor | Bounded references up to 1,048,576 cells (`D3:AZ400`) keep their full shape instead of stopping at the used range, so `SUMPRODUCT(D3:AZ400*B3:B400,(A3:A400=x)*(D1:AZ1=y))` broadcasts like Excel and `ROWS`, `COUNTBLANK` and `--(r="")` count the blanks; references that run to the edge of the sheet (`A:A`) still stop at the used range (#1010) |
| 2026-10-12 | minor | USDOLLAR added as a Compatibility function (not on Microsoft's list, so the counts don't change); MIRR with no positive flow is -1, COUNTIF's bare `"<="` / `">="` skip empty strings, INDIRECT with `a1` = FALSE gives `#REF!` for A1-style text (#738) |
| 2026-10-11 | minor | TEXT / number formats fixed against Excel-cached results: fraction literals and zero fractions, `0` denominators zero padded, `?` pads the thousands separator, booleans use the text section (226 mismatches → 0 in 352 TEXT cells) |
