Complex formulations are a requirement for keeping some spreadsheets set of data compact (a lot fewer helper columns/rows), but are very hard to read and edit by the same person given a period of time, or a different person who has to work on the same set of data. Several options come to mind to improve the usability of said tool: 1) the panel should have an adjustable width; 2) the layout of the structure could be different (horizontal panel, instead of vertical) 3) clicking the panel could provide a text editor like capability of editing the formulas directly, as in the formula bar, but with the structured layout; 4) The formula bar drop down could implement both styles/views (continuous and structured). Said functionality/ies would vastly improve productivity with formula based spreadsheets to the point of replacing simple macros and externally created software tools like console applications.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
