Bug ID: 162319
Summary: Allow to rename a database range
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Calc has the feature of "database range". It is comparable to "Excel Table". [I
think it can even more, e.g. bundled sort and filter. But I'm no Excel expert.]
In Excel it is possible to rename the table very easily: You type the new name
into the name field in tab "Table Design". That's all. Excel automatically
adapts the formulas, that use the table name.
Such feature is missing in Calc. It is important especially for database ranges
with linked content. They get the name "Import1", "Import2" automatically. The
user has no way to change it to something more meaningful.
The MRI extension allows to change the name, but does not update the formulas
that use that name.
The database range name is used in "structured references".
