Bug ID: 155384
Summary: Fixed width paste does not sample enough input data
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.0.0 alpha1+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: p...@pfortin.com
I have many sheets which have a column of ID numbers consisting of two letters
and 4-7 digits e.g., XX2035-XX1876543
Wanting to split this column into two columns: XX and numeric parts:
Paste Special > Unformatted Test
Fixed width
The dialog samples some number of rows and sees XXnnnn; then assumes all
entries are 2+4. Pasting the data results in all XXnnnn rows correctly pasted;
but ALL other rows are split into 3 columns: XX nnnn nnn
I can "trick" the dialog into doing the right thing by inserting a sacrificial
row at the top containing XX1234567; but that adds extra steps to correct the
data.
