File

I have this excel File that calculates food costs in different grocery stores.

The grocery stores are selected from a drop-down list (Data Validation). As my formatting doesn't allow me to select only the column, I created a Data Range Validation for that list, so I can quickly adjust the list for all cells when I update the store list.

Anyway, I tried to open the file in Libreoffice 5.03. Everything works, but the list, which doesn't appear as list anymore.

1. Open file Food.xlsx in Excel.
2. Look at column J, linked with the second sheet of the spreadsheet
3. Open the file Food.xlsx in Libreoffice 5.03
4. Notice the column J no longer is a drop down list.


Thank you guys for all your work.

Hi, thanks for reporting.

I can't reproduce with Win10x64 LibreOffice 5.0.4

Please try resetting the user profile, sometimes solves strange issues.

Usually it's enough renaming/deleting the file "user/registrymodifications.xcu",  it affect all the options in Menu/Tools/Options, and the files "user/basic/dialog.xlc" and "scrip.xlc" are overwritten, additionally custom colors in "user/config/standard.soc" are lost.
