Description Tollef Fog Heen 2013-07-29 16:50:52 UTC 
In excel, you can use brackets with named ranges to do operations on them.   http://excelexperts.com/node/770 has some information on this.

It would be useful if LibreOffice had the same functionality.

If you need a sample spreadsheet, I can provide one, but it should be trivial to make one yourself.

What can be done this way that can't be done with matrix formula?

Best regards. JBF

Excel compatibility, since that's where I first ran into them.

In addition, I don't see how I can say "please give me the third column of the row named foo", but that might just be not understanding matrices properly.

(I don't know what the LO bug workflow is, so leaving as needinfo.)
