Description Yan Pas 2015-04-01 13:23:25 UTC
Fill instrument (Draggable plus in the lower right corner of every cell) should have 5 options:
1. Copy format
2. Copy value (default for cells with text foramt)
3. Copy format and value
4. Copy incremental value (If you drag 1 - you will get in the next cells values 2,3,4... with the defined format of every cell)
5. Copy format and incremental value

I guess that this 5 options should be in dropdown list if ypu click on right lower corner of the cell. Excel already has only 4 options, so LO may beat Excel if it will be implemented :)

Now it's behavior is unpredictable, so I have even created a bug https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90394

> should have 5 options:
> 1. Copy format
formatting is done via style, set your style and you can copy it any time you want to any cell you want
> 2. Copy value (default for cells with text foramt)
already implemented, just hold Ctrl at the same time you drag

> 3. Copy format and value
already there
> 4. Copy incremental value (If you drag 1 - you will get in the next cells

already there

Everything is already there, you even have more under Edit > Fill which let you chose what to fill with once you have selected a range. Closing - Sophie

2 - agree, didn't know. Maybe popup "Hold CTRL to..." should be implemented
1,3,5 - may be done via other different tools
But I can't understand where the 5 is implemented. Look at the screenshot.
I want after dragging plus from the A1 cell all cells below become:
1-entry (FORMAT:violet as it was)
2-entry (FORMAT:violet as it was)
3-entry (FORMAT:red as it was)
4-entry (FORMAT:green as it was)
5-entry 
6-entry

Cells A2-A5 has their own style, they were not formatted manually

"But I can't understand where the 4"* TYPO
Comment 5 Yan Pas 2015-04-01 14:28:21 UTC
1-entry (FORMAT:big font, white background)
2-entry (FORMAT:violet as it was)
3-entry (FORMAT:violet as it was)
4-entry (FORMAT:red as it was)
5-entry (FORMAT:green as it was)
6-entry ....

I guess this request economies two clicks. Closing cause there are easy workarounds
