This was because LibreOffice Calc does not even warn when it encounters a file with more columns than it can deal with. This is a bit embarassing, not? For your internal priorisation, please be aware that today, with many research lab are equipped with machines to perform high throughput analyses, files with >1500 columns (which typically host attributes in statistics) are no longer exceptional. Excel once was sucking badly with 256 columns, but they got that one fixed for a reason. Together with this functionality of thousands of columns there will be new interfaces developing alongside for the filtering of such. Time will bring it. Just now, please fix this behaviour. I offer 100 Euros from my very private pocket for this feature. The missing notice of losing data I tend to see as a bug. Concerning the "dynamic container" comment below I suggest to think about sparse formats. There is tons of sparse data out there in scientific data and to have a regular desktop tool prepared to handle that efficiently would be exciting. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
