assertions each, but there is no conformance suite against Excel-computed results, and user

| 2026-10-25 | minor | LAMBDA row: a LAMBDA that calls itself more than 140 times, and a formula nested past the depth limit, give `#NUM!` (#1809; nesting gave `#CALC!` before). `=Foo(1)` where the defined name Foo holds `#N/A` gives `#N/A`, not `#NAME?` |
| 2026-10-23 | minor | Number text coercion (VALUE, arithmetic, typed entry): a dollar sign before accounting parentheses (`$(1,234)`, `$ (5)`) and a percent sign after them (`(5)%`) read as negatives; `(-5)`, `((5))`, `($-5)`, `$5%`, `$(5)%` and dates or times in parentheses are `#VALUE!`, as observed in Excel 365 |
