Hi Ian,

When I open an Excel file in Libre Calc I seem to lose some functionality.

The Excel file has several columns in a table. When you add data and get to the last column in the the table,  a new line is added, and the cursor returns to the beginning of that new line. All the formulas are copied down as well.

If you enter values into the cells of a row and you go with Tab-key instead of Enter-key to the next column, then when you use Enter-key for the last cell of the row, the cursor is set to the first cell of the next row.

Formulas are not copied automatically. But when you set the cell cursor on to a cell which has the formula, then you can use a double-click on the little black rectangle bottom, right on the cell cursor frame, to copy the formula down to the last filled row in a column left or right from it. So first enter all data, and when finished copy the formulas.


When opened in Libreoffice this no longer happens. How can I fix this?

LibreOffice is not a clone of MS Office. You should not expect that things always work the same way. Some parts work even better in LibreOffice than in Excel (for example: Automatic detection of needed range for results of matrix operations).


My MS  Office 2007 has spat the dummy, and frankly I don't want to spend big dollars on replacing it. LibreOffice seems to be a good alternative, however, I need to fix this problem.Maybe I'm just getting too old!
LibreOffice is a very powerful Office application. You can surely do all things in it you need, only sometimes in a different way.

Kind regards
Regina
