Description isbk 2013-08-13 09:50:00 UTC

Hi,

I wanted to make a series from 1 to 2048 step by 1 in LibreOffice Calc.
This menu active only if I select min. 2 cell, but it cannot fill the range with the required values. It is a very annoying bug. If I enter the start value and the final value and the step value, why should I select the range before it?

I think it would be a base function.

The demand: select a cell, in the edit menu-fill-series, enter the required values, ok.

If there is any solution for this missing function, please inform me.

Regards,

Imre

Hello

I reproduce on windows 7/64 with Version: 4.2.0.3
Build ID: c63c03decdf780d8fb80823950665b782ec9ecd0

I set status to New but change Importance to Enhancement: 

This is not a bug but the expected feature as specified in help
"Before filling a series, first select the cell range."

Note: an easy way to select is to type the references in the "Name box"

Regards
Pierre-Yves

I tried with selecting 2 cells and it only fill the 2 cells selected.

The only way I could fill all 2048 cells was to select all the column (click on column letter in the top) and apply this fill function.
