As the csv is really an intermediary transport file used to transfer one sheet
of data from the spreadsheet to another program, I strongly support adding the
CSV-format to the EXPORT-possibilities.
The csv can't support formatting nor formulas, BUT most importantly, only the
*active sheet* is exported, so it is really ONLY an export, NOT a SAVE
AS-functionality.
I therefore strongly suggest to add this option to the EXPORT-dialog.
This has some practical consequences. Basically, it is impossible to perform any
sound statistics in Calc. At the same time, the ODF-format has become too
complex to implement accurate readers (that mimic all its bugs and limitations)
in professional statistic packages. It is therefore imperative to use a simple
format for data-transfer, and csv is simply the best suited one (tab-delimited
data is another one).
I therefore strongly hope that this enhancement gets implemented in Calc.
Basically, the export-dialog should have both PDF and CSV as options. Selecting
CSV should export the active sheet, using the sheet-name as default name. The
status of the ods-file should not change (i.e. do not set changed status).
That's it.
