Hello everyone,

Thinking more thoroughly about this:

Shouldn't ODF implement the following functions:

1.) ISHIDDEN(cell, IGNORE_EMPTY = TRUE)
2.) ISFILTERED(cell, IGNORE_EMPTY = TRUE)
3.) ISVISIBLE(cell, IGNORE_EMPTY = TRUE)

These functions would allow to catch the state of a cell (visible/hidden/filtered), allowing greatly-expanded interactivity in spreadsheet-sessions. I believe that especially the ISFILTERED() has an enormous potential. Of course, ISFILTERED() should support array-formulas:
{=SUM( IF( ISFILTERED(A1:A1000); 0 ; B1:B1000) ) }

To go one step further, it should be possible to mark a row as *non-filterable*, this means, it should be displayed always. This would be the row where the user computes and displays some results. [A more advanced concept involves splitting the results area completely off the main spreadsheet - a completely dedicated results area, going in-line with:

Sincerely,

Leonard

Hi, Eike,

thanks a lot :-)

So as long as your default font (what's that anyway?) is not monospaced
the result is even meaningless.

yes but now i am can determine whether a column is hidden or not ...

=WENN(ZELLE("WIDTH";A1)+0*ZUFALLSZAHL()=0
