Bug ID: 154873
Summary: The Random Number Generator dialog should allow the
user to inform the number of rows and columns to be
generated
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.0.0 alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: rafael.palma.l...@gmail.com
Calc's Random Number Generator (accessible via Sheet - Fill Cells - Fill Random
Number) allows to generate random values that will be applied to the selected
cell range. This means that you need to manually select the range where the
numbers will be placed.
The problem with this is when you want to create many random numbers at once,
for instance 10,000 rows by 50 columns. It's a really bad experience to select
such enormous range manually.
Instead, we should allow the user to enter how many columns and rows to
generate from a starting selected cell.
This would be similar to what Excel does (not exactly, but similar). See
attachment 186746 from bug 154872 for a comparison between Calc and Excel
RNG's.
