First: I missed sending to the list, so here again is my posting. Ok, I admit. I am the moron. Still I do not see the problem. Calc does not behave the way describe. If you insert a new cell, all its neighbours are influenced, and you yourself chose how, via the dialogue: Move down , Move

Hi :) Ok, you are not being a moron. I wasn't trying to be funny of anything. The software is doing exactly the right thing and even has a little pop-up that people have to choose which way the existing cells have to go. So it really shouldn't be a problem at all. However people often create

I recently noticed that a complicated spreadsheet that had previously functioned correctly was giving wrong answers without warning. After the usual wailing and gnashing of teeth, I traced the problem to a cell containing =C4-SUM(G11:G1016)”. Further experimentation produced the following

Hi :) I think post as a Feature Request. If at all possible i think it's best to post Feature Requests instead of bug-reports. They have a much bigger feel-good factor and i suspect they are more likely to attract new devs. I think there has got to be a default and i tend to prefer it if there

I think have a wee difficult to understand what you are doing, as I do not see any error. You put constants 1 and 2 in the cells A1 and A2 and a sum formula in A3. Then you insert an empty cell in A1 while moving the existing content in the cells one step to the right. Hence after the

Hi :) I'm guessing you are a fairly logical and astute thinker rather than a typical office drone or a typically tech-averse accountancy person. Yes there is no problem unless the user is a moron. Sadly many of us often are a bit moronic from time to time. The suggestion was to maybe write a
