How It Works?

The FINANCIALS() function can work both in normal mode and as an array function.

To use it as an array, simply enter the function into any cell, specifying the appropriate parameters. After that, you need to press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to enter the array formula and LO Calc will automatically return a table with data.

To select all cells associated with an array formula, simply select any cell in the array and press Ctrl+/.

If it is necessary to convert an array formula into values - select the entire array and in the menu Data > Calculate select Formula to Value.

When using a date as text, it must first be converted into a real date, for example: DATEVALUE("2026-01-25").
