 Can I ask why you want that color?  Assuming that you are in GNOME
 (since you use Ubuntu), the color of the column/row headers are actually
 lighter than the color of the current unselected tabs.  That makes it
 even harder to distinguish the selected and unselected tabs.

 For the record I had considered using that color first, but realized it
 was not the right solution because of that reason.

Actually selected Tabs are white. But IMO these should have the same
color as selected row/column headers resp. unselected tabs should have
the same color as like as unselected row/column headers. For
consistence. And for a better difference. And these colors come from the
theme of the OS.

 About the color difference between marked and
 unmarked sheet tabs, I did something for that not too long ago.

 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=94452

 The fix will appear in 3.1.  I only did it for GTK themes because it was
 worse in GNOME while in KDE and Windows (not sure about Mac since I
 don't have one) marked and unmarked sheet tabs were easy to make out, at
 least to my eye.

Yes I can see a little difference with m40. (Ubuntu 8.10)
But as I wrote I hope that in a future version (3.2?) tabs will have the
same color like the heads of columns and rows.

Thank you!

[sc-dev] color of tabs

2009-02-05 Thread Mathias Röllig
Hello!

I know that there is work to have tabs with different colors in calc.
But i don't know if with this the big problem will be solved that it is
difficult to see the difference between marked and unmarked sheets.

In my opinion a marked tab should have the same colouring then the heads
of marked columns and rows have.

Could this be a (easy?) change for OOo 3.1?

[sc-dev] label and array formula

2008-03-18 Thread Mathias Röllig
Hello!

Should using labels work also in a array formula?
Today it doesn't.

E. g. having a column labelled 'Result'.

=SUM('Result')
works. But

{=SUM('Result'0)}
doesn't work. The results (error or 0) differs, if i insert label ranges
(Insert\Names\Labels...) or not.

Should i file a issue? I haven't find any related to this.

Greetings

Re: [sc-dev] New features about Data Filter

 1.3 Change to AutoFilter popup list

Let me annotate something to the wanted change of the autofilter
behavior so it would work like in excel.

http://specs.openoffice.org/calc/ease-of-use/AutoFilter_Behavior.odt

Imagine that you have a big table with many columns and data rows.
Now you set a autofilter in 3 or 5 columns.
Which was the first that you have set?
OK, you can remember it. But if you save the file and a other person
want to work with it?
The person must reset all autofilter columns to get all data visible.

A other little example, only with 2 filter criteria.
First you select Hamburg and want to get all data rows for Lehmann. OK.
At second you want select all Hempel in Dresden. But there is no
Hempel in Hamburg ...

And now imagine, that you want to do this with many more columns ...


It isn't a good idea always to have Excel as the only guide ...

Hello!

 1.) I do not have a strong opinion on this. Somehow, I find 
 autofiltering very limited and useful only in very simple situations, 
 not on really big tables. (See my issue 
 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=66588 for a better 
 solution. Thats why I basically have switched to MS Visual FoxPro for 
 such situations - not an ideal solution.)

Calc isn't and shouldn't be a RDBMS. So you have find out by yourself
that a database is the better solution for you.

So you can switch from FoxPro to Base. I don't know if Base supports
FoxPro but any other type of database.


 What if the filter data that is not found, is grayed instead of  hiding 
 it completely?

It's a possibility. But I prefer to see all values.
The behaviour like Excel is good for users which knows the result before
filtering. All other users don't know, why there are values hidden.
If there is a empty result after the n-th autofilter, then *this* is the
result. This is logical, and it is more logical then values that go missing.

In my opinion it must be independent if one would find
Hans and Meyer in New York and lives in a yellow house
or all
yellow houses in New York with a lodger Meyer, Hans.

Simple users don't understand why they can't select New York if
there are many Hans  Meyer but no Hans *or* no Meyer in New
York, especially if there are many Hans and many Meyer in New
York but no Hans *and* Meyer.


 2.) A big problem for autofilter are big tables, like with 50,000 rows. 
 The user might have 10,000 entries and it becomes very impractical to 
 search a value in the autofilter within this big list of entries. Some 
 brainstorming is needed to solve this one (I am aggressively pointing to 
 my previous issue).

In my opinion your issue and autofilter are two different things.


 Another little example, only with 2 filter criteria.
 First you select Hamburg and want to get all data rows for Lehmann. OK.
 At second you want select all Hempel in Dresden. But there is no
 Hempel in Hamburg ...

To make my point of view clear:
Think about if there also no Lehmann in Hamburg ...

This is a problem that many users have with Excel. And there is no way
to reset *all* autofilter columns at once, or is there any (except to
delete the autofilter)? There are many users which will not find any
Hempel in Dresden if they got the sheet with active autofilter from
anyone.
