My point was only to demonstrate what these options work well for, i.e. a range
of Calc cells.

Very good point. Maybe the easiest fix would be to (1) append names with "only"
and (2) gray out for external data.

Noting that the options don't work either with my example data between MS Excel
and LO Calc.

Changed the summary and setting to New, there is clearly something to do about
it.
