The old parameter name was "Rank_c", we harmonized capitalization of spreadsheet function UI parameter names (there was no common ground whatsoever) and also removed _ underscores some years ago, the Help texts weren't adjusted. As for LARGE() and SMALL(), speaking of the k-th value is common. If you really want to align that then changing the parameter name from "Rank c" to "k" would be the way to go. Sometimes it helps to lookup the ODFF definition, e.g. https://docs.oasis-open.org/office/OpenDocument/v1.3/os/part4-formula/OpenDocument-v1.3-os-part4-formula.html#LARGE but not in this case as it names it "N" ... |
Description: Using the English-US locale, we can see inconsistencies between the app (function Wizard and formula editing tooltip) and the documentation. 1) I am not sure if wee need fixing the naming of arguments in the app or in the documentation ("Rank c" in UI vs "RankC"/"Rank_c" in Help) 2) The description of the function in the UI still uses "k-th smallest" even though it doesn't match the argument name Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the function wizard from the formula bar 2. Search for "SMALL" (or "LARGE") 3. Click on "SMALL" (or "LARGE") and see the description 4. Open the corresponding help page: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/scalc/01/04060183.html Actual Results: Inconsistencies in function description and argument naming. In UI: - Argument is "Rank c" - Function description refers to value "k" In documentation: - Argument is "RankC" or "Rank_c" Expected Results: Consistency between syntax and function definition; consistency between UI and Help.
