------- Additional comments from gui...@openoffice.org Tue Nov 2 15:37:51 +0000 2010 ------- Dear developpers, Based on some working experience with planning software I have an idea of a completely new function for spreadsheets that does not exist until now. I like the idea because it is usefull in spreadsheet applications and has no equivalent in MS. This new function would allow to easily create sub-total lines in the spreadsheet by simply opening an empty line and defining that it is a summary or subtotal line that takes into account the lines of lower levels - indented lines .- The summary line would have an independent, manually-defined, wording and would automatically sum up the figures contained in the inferior levels. We would be able to create several sub-levels and to collapse some selected lines to hide a part of the lower level's information, showing only the summaries. Some approaching solution does exist currently with the "sub-totals" but it not as powerfull mainly because you have to define the subtotals manually. All this is inspired by the possibilities offered by planing softwares. I had prepared an example to show the idea with a small "arrow" that allows showing or hiding lines. I currently use AEC's Fastrack Schedule for profesional reasons but equivalent program exist such as MS Project and the OpenProject - I do not know whether this is feasible but I would of course be most interested to further discuss this and to participate to the definition of the specification of such a function if possible. Unfortunately I am really not a developper but I would be really pleased to participate to a part of the Ooo project with my possibilities, like this special function specification or translations. Currently I am contributing, making sure that as many people as possible know about the project and accept to convert to Ooo in their work. I am sure that there are many ideas like this and would appreciate to know at least that my proposal is received and considered. Thanks for your consideration.
