In theory absolute references will work . But in practice - that linkage to the
cell in question is not maintained - things go wrong during editing due to
missinterpretations by the spreadsheet program . My experience with Excel is
that it quite easily looses the correct linkages - even within individual
worksheets - hence my concern with OpenOffice . As such the only reliable way of
maintaining a link is to give the cells in question a name . The point I was
making is that :-
1) the name needs to be either local to the worksheet or global throughout the
file - that option needs to be present .
2) further - being able to give the cells a common local name that is
differentiated out of the individual worksheets by the worksheet name being used
as a prefix - would provide good flexibility - ie. would greatly reduce
spreadsheet construction time .
It's not a case of " can it be done " but " how well it can be done " - how easy
it is - otherwise why not use a piece of paper , a pencil and an abacus ?
