That's nice trick. But I want something different - in Excel select range (with values) A1:B4 and click Sum button. You will get two furmulas - SUM(A1:A4) and SUM(B1:B4) in row 5. Here is my queston - does current Calc's behavior (when clicking Sum with x*y (x and y >2) selection, Calc just randomly generates formulas (like "=SUM(#REF!3:D3)") makes any sense? WBR, K.
