Description Vas 2018-05-21 14:28:50 UTC
Description:
When I have a formula in a row or column, and I insert a column or row, the formula is not extended to take that into account.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a simple formula in a row or column
2. Insert a row or column


Actual Results:  
The new cell does not contain the formula nor are the other cells updated to reflect the new addition

Expected Results:
Would like to see an option to extend formulae, as there are options to extend formatting and references.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Not sure if it is a good idea. What happens if you insert a row between two different formulas?

Best regards. JBF

There is the [Ctrl+D] shortcut, selecting a range after the last row with data/formulas they are copied on the selected cells.
Comment 3 Regina Henschel 2018-05-21 22:18:39 UTC
You mean, that you want a short way for "insert new row, copy content of previous row, paste into new row"?
Then do this: Mark the row, drag down a cell from that row while pressing Ctrl+Alt.

I have just looked at Excel to see how that handles the same operation, and it is the same as LO.

It's not about the shortcut to be honest, as I know about those, I thought it was different to what Excel did. What does differ, which is annoying, is the cutting and pasting of a row. Excel does this much better than LO. But that's another conversion.

I believe the annoyance you mention is dealt with in bug 99457.
I guess we can close this.
