Hi :)
Have you tried Gnumeric for spreadsheet work?  It is a dedicated
spreadsheet program rather than being part of a suite so there are quite a
few advantages to it for serious spreadsheeting work.

...mmmh, does it works in windows too??? I will try.. :-)

 - Please, define 'so low'

 i see 1024 columns in 4.4.something and also in 4.1.something


 I exported a 2kx2k dataset in csv from a database to be eaten by a python
 program and I can open it in excel but non in libreoffice calc, and this is
 bad... :-)  :-)

 I wasn't there when I posted and i supposed that a parameter like numbers

Re: [libreoffice-users] column limit in libreoffice 4.3.something

2015-04-24 Thread Paul D. Mirowsky
Try importing into Base as csv, pay particular attention formatting on 
this screen matches your csv.
During import keep an eye out for errors. Stop at error, look at last 
record imported in table. Using text editor, fix that or next record.

Delete Base database and re-iterate until no errors found.
When complete import occurs, copy table to Calc.

This works fairly well for finding import errors and copying from Base 
to Calc is usually a clean process.


Just ran my first Firebird test and it does import much fast than HSQL1.8

Yes, I did have problems importing a csv directly into Calc which showed 
non-english character set.


Hope this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] column limit in libreoffice 4.3.something

2015-04-23 Thread James E Lang
I am using LO version 4.3.5.2.

Its spreadsheet size is limited to 1G cells (1K columns by 1M rows) per 
sheet. I don't know how many sheets are allowed. YMMV but I know that these 
spreadsheet size limits are currently quite sufficient for my needs. I also 
know that I currently have no desire to use anything bigger since the speed of 
adding a data value in a single cell at a time was abysmal when I had 4K rows 
on each of four sheets and used less than 100 columns on any single sheet. I 
trimmed the document back to about 1200 rows per sheet for now but I expect it 
will grow to between 4000 and 5000 by the end of the year when I'll start a 
fresh document with a couple hundred rows. 

Of course much of the processing time was most likely spent evaluating some 
reasonably (or maybe unreasonably) complex formulas. I'm working on formula 
simplification but this is difficult since I often make use of the OFFSET() 
function to reference dynamically defined ranges of cells.
