Description: When a predefined incremental pattern is used as a template with simple numbers it fills according to the template but if the predefined pattern is cell references then the autofill produces two patterns. One pattern increments the first cell in the range + count of intervening cells to the first empty cell, the second pattern then increments the subsequent predefined values to the following relative number of empty cells also incremented by three. The pattern persists and cells are auto-filled in blocks of three. I imagine the "offset" is consistently defined by the number of "filled" cells in the selection. Steps to Reproduce: Sample sheet attached. Column A has been auto-filled from 1 - 70 to identify the target "count" for the formulae in Column C. Initially, columns C & D only had the first three rows manually entered Column C: observe the formulae in the first three rows increment the preceding cell by 8 rows Column D observe the numbers in the first three rows increment the preceding cell by 8 Observe the subsequent formulae and values in cells C9 to D14 The auto-fill was the result of selecting the range C6:D8 and auto-filling down to D14. To recreate, either erase C9:D14 or simply reselect C6:D8 and autofill to D14 overwriting the existing entries. Observe column D correctly increments by 8 Observe the formulae in column C where all the cells are incremented by three RELATIVE to the original source cells. I'm convinced the rationale for following the predefined pattern is far more logical than an inconsistency that will vary depending upon the number of filled cells encountered before the available target range. Obviously, there's no problem when a single cell is replicated by auto-fill as it logically increments by one. Actual Results: Formulae cells are not incremented according to the selected "template" cells Expected Results: Formulae incremented according to the selected "template" cells.

confirmed, ver. 6.1.6.3, number series apply the step factor to the drag expansion producing a continuous filed, while formula series start with the same relative relation as the source block and produce a series of formula blocks
Dear Colin, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug

I accidentally added a duplicate of this bug as bug 157466 - autofill of ascending references fails with non-sequential cell references. In case my different wording of this bug is helpful, here it is, copied from my duplicate bug: Description: Working example, followed by non-working example: Autofill function works correctly with sequential ascending cell references. Example: Create spreadsheet as follows: A1: meow A2: woof A3: cluck A4: moo A5: bark B1: =A1 B2: =A2 You may now select B1 and B2, and then you may drag the the fill handle in the bottom right corner of the selection across the cells B3, B4, and B5, and release the mouse button. Result: The cells B3, B4, and B5 will auto-fill correctly, showing values of "cluck", "moo", and "bark" respectively. Column B now contains these cell references: B1: =A1 B2: =A2 B3: =A3 B4: =A4 B5: =A5 Autofill of ascending references fails with non-sequential cell references. Example: Creat spreadsheet as follows: A1: cat says A2: meow A3: dog says A4: woof A5: chicken says A6: cluck A7: cow says A8: moo A9: dog says A10: bark B1: =A2 B2: =A4 You may now select B1 and B2, and then you may drag the the fill handle in the bottom right corner of the selection across the cells B3, B4, and B5, and release the mouse button. Result: The cells B3, B4, and B5 will auto-fill incorrectly, showing values of "woof", "cluck", and "cluck" respectively. Column B now contains these cell references: B1: =A2 B2: =A4 B3: =A4 B4: =A6 B5: =A6 The expected behavior would have been for column B to instead contain these cell references: B1: =A2 B2: =A4 B3: =A6 B4: =A8 B5: =A10
