Bug ID: 148319
Summary: EDITING deleting cells with dependency must issue
warning
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
If a referenced cell is deleted using Delete row/column/sheet command
the former dependent cells show #REF! without a hint where it pointed earlier.
if these cells are on another sheet this often fatal result of an editing
operation remains undetected for a long time.
reconstruction often takes hours if possible at all in big sheets.
simple example to reproduce
A1=1
A2=2
A3=3
A4=A1+A2+A3
now delete row 2
A4= #REF!
and shows =A1+A#REF!+A2
suggestion:
In case a #REF! is detected a popup message should be raised
"Do you want to delete referenced cell(s) A2 ....?"
YES/NO - where NO is default.
Hope this makes sense for an "office" product.
