The objective must be the compatibility between all those office solutions. Another important question: Why is the limit statically implemented [hardcoded] on application level? Wouldn't it be smarter to define it per spreadsheet [or even omit an explicit limit] say have a dynamic solution? This is the logical sequence of Bug 31612, [which had been in pipe already 4 years] Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/240895/comments/0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2008-02-13T07:33:09+00:00 Www-openoffice-org wrote: this issue is dup for issue 19440 please transfer your votes Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/240895/comments/1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2008-02-13T10:03:49+00:00 Oc-n wrote: Reassign to owner requirements Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/240895/comments/2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2008-02-13T14:47:52+00:00 tho wrote: Nope, read correctly, it isn't dup.

And Caligra Sheets with 32,767 Columns (https://calligra.org/) as max value. Both have this feature for years. So other Open Source Spreadsheet apps are much more powerfull in this respect, or have the feature for longer time, but they do not feel the need to advertise their product in other projects bug tracker like spammers do. I hope you understand that bug trackers are a development tool and not a evaluation platform for the best tooling. Use other channels if you feel the need for your dvertisements. Thank you!

Currently SC moves through all fields in order for update. This is very slow, anmd becomes slower if there are more fields. LO did move to a vector array, enhanced the formula of processing and they are now confident to increase the field amount. I am not sure this is the right track. It depends on the way the table is build and I am not sure the container type is the best decision that has been taken. Especially if you think that a table might not be uniform. I have an Idea how to solve this issue, but I need to experiment a bit. Also more research is needed.
