             Bug #: 48571
           Summary: : Allow A:A format to include an entire column
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.5.2 Release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
 Status Whiteboard: BSA
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium

Problem description: 

As described
[here](http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=9527),
other spreadsheets allow the syntax "A:A", which means "all elements in column
A".  

LibreOffice doesn't support this, and I would like it to be added.  The closest
workaround is "A1:A65536".  The problem with A1:A65536 is that the number will
change if you delete rows, if you try to enter it for a graph, the range will
be shrunk to fit your data to something like "A1:A35", and not expand as you
add more data, etc.
