------- Additional comments from kal...@openoffice.org Wed Mar 3 03:45:05 +0000 2010 ------- Hi, let me add my own needs to the discussion. In engineering applications it is usual to deal with several sections (50+ being usual) of a given body (like a ship, airplane or other) for each of which a given (large) set of equal parameters must be defined (with different values, most often). Translating this to spreadsheet language, there is a need for identical cell names across several sheets of a given spreadsheet. Or, more technically, there is a need for names wich are local do the sheets. Just like Microsoft's Excel provides, although I am not sure if in Excel the names are genuinely local or globals faked as local just for the user's eye. Anyway, local or only apparently local, equal cell names for different sheets are essential for engineering applications. If implemented, such feature would almost certainly spread Calc's use to an even wider public (myself and co- workers included). In time. As already mentioned in Issue 76863, when duplicating an Excel sheet the local names are also duplicated. With huge time savings when you deal with 50+ sheets. Since Calc's naming scheme is global the duplication of a given sheet will (of course) not retain the cell names. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
