Summary: Conditional formatting: Usability improvements for the
cell range picker in new conditional formatting dialog
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.0.1 rc
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
The new conditional formatting dialog is shaping up greatly. A particular
improvement is that it is now possible to pick cell ranges in the condition and
to enter formulas in the condition field.
With this regard, I have two enhancement requests with regards to usability of
the cell range picker:
(a)
To enter a formula in all usual spreadsheet operations, you enter e.g. "=sum("
and then you pick the cell range, e.g. C13:C15.
The new conditional formatting dialog behaves differently. In the field for the
condition (in the dialog you get from "Format"-"Conditional
Formatting"-"Condition") you first need to pick the cell range, e.g. e.g.
C13:C15 and then you need to write the formula around, e.g. "sum(C13:C15". In
case you enter the formula first, e.g. "sum(", it will be overwritten by the
cell range picker. It would be good if the behaviour would be the same like in
all other spreadsheet operations.
(b)
When typing a formula in usual operations in Calc, e.g. "=s", then you get a
tooltip telling you that the syntax for the formula is "=sum()". This tool tip
is missing in the conditional formatting dialog. It would be good to have it
there, too.
Thanks for the great work on conditional formattining!
