[libreoffice-users] Re: Calc problem
I have had similar problems including both simple formulas and, in some cases, simple links to other cells. This occurs not only when I save to xlsx, but also when I save to xls. These same spreadsheets save with no problems using 4.1.4, to which I have had to revert. Unfortunately, I need to supply the spreadsheets to multiple clients in multiple organizations who may or may not use LibreOffice and over whom I have no control. This makes it impractical to save in ODF format. Since I am a Linux user, using Microsoft is not an option even if I wanted to. This is a serious problem. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Calc-problem-tp4094299p4095017.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Calc problem
Hi :) That is a tad disturbing. Please file a bug-report about it https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport This is about the first time we've had reports of problems with Xls but a lot of work went into Calc for the 4.2.0. It's plausible that created glitches. Hopefully those might get ironed out quickly if people report any odd problems they find with the 4.2.0. It is good to tests-drive the new branch as soon as it comes out (or even before) to make sure any unexpected oddities do show up. For production use it's good to use the latest stable-branch, currently the 4.1.4 i htink Regards and apols from Tom :) On 1 February 2014 18:17, bearymore caxilb...@iasinfo.com wrote: I have had similar problems including both simple formulas and, in some cases, simple links to other cells.

Hi IOmazic IOmazic wrote So what I am doing wrong? You aren't doing anything wrong. It's a Bug.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Calc problem
Hi :) The new XlsX format is notoriously unreliable, in my opinion and as people seem to suggest on this mailing list. Each version of MS Office 'accidentally' introduces different variances from each other and from the ISO standard as published. So, if you move to another version of MS Office then there is a good chance you will find pre-existing documents also have problems with MS Office. The current best format to allow different people to actively work on spreadsheets together and exchange between each other is the older MS format. Use File - Save As ... - MS Excel 2003/Xp or something like that to save in .xls without the X at the end. This allows Android and iPad/iPhones users to also freely use the spreadsheets. For the longer term storage of documents the ODF formats are better. For spreadsheets the specific one is .ods and it is likely to become the best one to use when sharing and collaborating too in the next few years.

Andreas, I tried it now on Windows 7 with Libre Office 3.5 and it is working right as expected. When ctrl+c/ctrl+v some email address to Calc, no dialogue appear and address is just filled into Calc cell (as link, not as clear text, but it is not important for me).

It can't; if I input that into Source cell range as soon as I tab
out the $s are stripped out of the reference.

The same thing. However, I have determined that saving and reloading
the sheet makes the list boxes work. I'm pretty sure this is a bug,
but don't know what further info is wanted by the developers to work
the problem (especially as I can't send a file that is a test case,
just instructions on how to reproduce).
