Bug ID: 132031
Summary: EDITING Enhancement Request: When using 'Current
Selection Only' in F/R, keep the same selection after
each replace operation
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I am doing a lot of questionnaire pre-processing in LibreOffice. Some of it
involves selecting some *specific* data columns and then doing successive find
and replace operations on the exact same select area (an example is at the end
of this enhancement request).
If one does a F/R operation on a selected area ('Current Selection Only'), the
selected area is subsequently changed to be only those cells that were affected
by the operation.
I'd be grateful if you would consider adding an option of some sort in the F/R
dialog that becomes active when "Current Selection Only" is selected, that
"locks" the selected area to be the same, even after the replace takes place
(don't have a good name for that).
===================================
AN EXAMPLE CASE: Some columns contain data like either 'a', or 'b' or 'c' and
one has to "rotate" these data in the cells. That is, 'b' cells in the
selection stay as they are, whereas 'a' become 'c' and 'c' become 'a'. To
accomplish that, I'd be doing a F/R on the selected columns of 'a' to 'x' (a
helper dummy), then 'c' to 'a' and finally 'x' to 'c'.
