1. Open attached spreadsheet. sheet1 has a sum formula which references the "aaa" range. sheet2 has the same sum formula.
2. Copy sheet1 to a new sheet "sheet1_2".

Expected: The sum formula on sheet1_2 would copy the "aaa" range so that it references the cells on sheet3. When you change something on sheet1, only the sum formulas on sheet1 and sheet2 are updated.

Actual: sheet1_2 still references the "aaa" range. Updating the values on sheet1_2 does not change the sum on sheet1_2. Instead, updating the values on sheet1 updates the sum on all three sheets.

PS: After the fix for bug 145054, the range is already copied when copying the sheet. What is missing, is that the formulas are updated to reference the new range.
Comment 2 Timur 2022-02-01 13:32:53 UTC
I set New. So, there would be 2 "aaa" ranges.
Now when LO imports from XLSX or XLS, it doesn't read Database Range as it should. But formula behaves properly on change and sheet copy.

Dear Samuel Mehrbrodt (allotropia),

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
