Description reay.jespersen 2021-03-26 17:30:38 UTC
I've been doing some basic work with Calc, formerly only ever having used Excel. I was happy to see a couple of days ago that when I had a section of cells summed up and then retroactively added a new row in the midst of that section, the SUM functions at the bottom of the columns automated the tweak to now end on the newer row.

So I was surprised when I did the same thing today and that DIDN'T happen.

The only differences, that I'm aware of, are 1) that the first time I did it, it was in the midst of the selection of cells being added up--I went into the middle of them and inserted row--whereas today I was on the row of the totals instead. And, 2) the first time I added a row, I added a row below the row I was on, whereas today, I added a row right above the row with all the SUM functions.



Thanks for your time.

Please take a look at the option:
Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice calc/General - Expand references when new columns/rows are added.

I've made that change, thanks.

Curious why it worked on its own two days ago, mind you. But hopefully this will keep it consistent.


Much appreciated.
