So you prefer LO sticks to Excel limitations instead of LO being able to do
better just for compatibility sake?
It seems most people prefer Excel compatibility as a top priority for Calc, I
find it crazy. Anyway, don't worry, I must be the only one (at least never saw
another one) to think like this, so I suppose this "bug" will be "fixed" :-)
