Bug ID: 170610
Summary: Enhance Clone: to Row, to Column, to End of Column
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.8.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Formatting cells in Calc is a frequent operation: e.g. number formats and other
formats. Often, one formats a specific cell and wants to apply the same format
to the remaining column or row. Unfortunately, this requires more effort than
it should.
Solution:
Implement buttons to automatically clone the current cell to:
- the entire row;
- the remaining row, starting from the current cell;
- the entire column;
- the remaining column starting from the current cell;
Icons: ->, <->, Down-Arrow, Up/Down-Arrow;
- arrows seem adequate to indicate the function of the buttons;
Note:
- Column headers and Row headers may be formatted different;
- Applying a format to a cell in the 2nd row and then wanting to apply it to
the remaining column is common;
- Current Clone tool is impractical beyond copying the format to a few cells;
Related Issues:

- FORMATTING: Simplify use of Clone Formatting for whole columns or rows (allow
clicking on headers, à la Excel);
- this issue is more flexible: enables to clone formatting to part of a
row/column;
