[Bug 66303] New: POI excel formula support does not take into account that many formulas can take a cell range

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66303

            Bug ID: 66303
           Summary: POI excel formula support does not take into account
                    that many formulas can take a cell range
           Product: POI
           Version: 5.2.2-FINAL
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: SS Common
          Assignee: dev@poi.apache.org
          Reporter: fanningpj@yahoo.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Based on https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65743

It turns out that ABS can take a cell range as input. The POI code only seems
to support ABS taking a single value.

ABS(A1:A5) is supported in Excel and returns 5 cells as a result with each
value in the return being the ABS result of equivalent cell in the input range.

This seems to be a general issues. There are a lot of other functions where POI
seems to expect just one input value but where Excel allows you to provide a
range.
