Bug ID: 169872
Summary: Deduplicate sucks, it's very very slow
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
So it's nice to see that you finally added the basic function of deleting
duplicates, but you might as well not have bothered because it's very, very
slow, compared to Excel or even compared to the old method of filter>not
empty>no duplications and then copying to a new sheet so they're actually
deleted and not hidden, works instantly, btw. I don't know what's the problem
in using this method for the deleting duplicates button, I understand it may
not be as simple with multiple columns, but still.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Data>Duplicates...
2.Choose your columns like in Excel
3.Wait...
Actual Results:
You for an hour or two, depending on your data quantity, and it doesn't even
say how much was deleted or give any confirmation that it's finished
Expected Results:
That it will process it way faster, like in the crutch method we already used
before with the filters or like in Excel in a reasonable time.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
I understand that it's free, and I'm sorry if I sound angry but that's what the
feedback page is, right?
