I think the answer may be simple: that you have set the row height 
for the relevant cells to be insufficient to allow wrapping to 
happen. In this case, the last line of wrapped text is indeed what 
will appear in the cell. You need to tinker with row height to enable 
Calc to expand the row sufficiently to accept all your text.


I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [libreoffice-users] cells don’t auto-wrap

2021-04-06 Thread Eric Beversluis
It seems I want to set “Optimal Row Height” as the default. I thought that’s 
what I had and for some reason certain rows or certain cells weren’t following 
that setting. If I have the trouble again, I’ll check if the affected cell has 
a different row height setting for some reason. If so, it sounds like Girvin’s 
trick is the easy solution.

Thanks.

Double-click on the bottom line of the far left column (the row number 
column, not column "A") of the row needing enlargement. If you are on 
the line, the mouse pointer will change to the up-down arrow icon. Doing 
so should increase the row height to accommodate the text. (It will also 
decrease the row height if the text will allow it.)

Strange. Mine wraps as expected. LibreOffice 7.0.4, on Manjaro Linux 20.2.1.
Maybe a bug in 6.2.8.2 that has been fixed now?


Kind regards

[libreoffice-users] cells don’t auto-wrap

2021-04-06 Thread Eric Beversluis
I’ve got a spreadsheet with all cells formatted to auto-wrap, yet when I enter 
stuff into certain cells, it doesn’t autowrap. And sometimes the cell just 
shows the last bit of what I’ve entered. When I right-click and check the cell, 
it does show it’s set to auto-wrap.

Using LO 6.2.8.2 on Mac 10.12.6

THanks.

Re: [libreoffice-users] days since beginning of year

2021-04-06 Thread Gabriele Ponzo
You already have the answer, as you have used the YEAR function in your
previous message.
So YEAR(cell) will give you just the year from the date expressed in "cell".
