          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 71175
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: Other: "Enhancement Bug", Design Suggestion, A More
                    Intuitive Syntax for Array Outputs
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Windows (All)
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: Other
        Whiteboard: BSA
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: unspecified
         Component: Spreadsheet
           Product: LibreOffice

I'm a big fan of spreadsheets, but I've never liked how spreadsheets including
LibreOffice Calc handle functions with multiple cell outputs.

Here's what I imagine.

=transpose(A2:A5, B2:E2)

Where A2:A5 are the input cells and B2:E2 are the transposed output cells. I'm
not sure what the cell itself should show, maybe something to indicate whether
the procedure completed successfully.

or

=sort(A2:A5, B2:B5)

Where A2:A5 are the input cells and B2:B5 are the sorted output cells.

or maybe

=linear.regression(A2:B10, C1, C2, C3)

C1=slope, C2=intercept, C3=r²

I think this sort of design would be far more intuitive than the current
standard.

BTW: Thanks for all the work you guys do.  It is appreciated.
Operating System: Windows 8
