            Bug ID: 105811
           Summary: Enhancement to Cell() function
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

What I really want is to be able to pass cell ranges (as opposed to the
contents copied into arrays) around freely between Calc and Basic - but that
would raise HUGE backward-compatibility issues, so I'm quite confident it won't
happen.

(Before I switched to Linux I had rewritten a number of Excel's built-in
functions that return the value of a cell, to instead return the cell.)

As a second choice, can the spreadsheet Cell() function be extended - or
another function created - that will take a cell or range</b> and return its
full name as a string? I don't want to just type the string, because
=SomeFunctionOf(Cell("Range",A1:C5)) is a reference to the indicated cells and
will be re-called if anything in the range changes;
=SomeFunctionOf("Sheet1.A1:C5") is not.

Cell("Address",C5) does this but only for cells, not ranges, and won't include
filename or sheetname unless they are included in the function call. A macro
needs this information as well.
