Priority: medium
Bug ID: 82633
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: a new document has regular expression enabled in
formulas by default
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.6.2 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
When I create new document, the "enable regular expression in formula" option
is checked by default.
Many user are former M. Excel users. They will have the feeling that Calc
formulas have strange behaviours before they understand the search term is a
regular expression. If we're not lucky, they will not understand this behaviour
and they will reject the use of LibreOffice.
Moreover, many formulas like "vlookup" are mostly used for searching a term
which isn't a regular expression. This fixed term is often the reference of a
cell. The value pointed by this cell reference is seldom a regular expression.
This allow a copy the formula to the bottom of the sheet in order to change the
search term with the line.
If a user actually want to use a regular expression, I think he has enough
skills to enable this feature into the options of the document.
