Better Defaults
Default spreadsheets should only have one sheet
Especially since Kohey's patch.
F4 should switch between absolute/relative values
At the moment, it's (Modifier)+F4, while F4 displays/hides the Data sources.
- It's a very basic/frequently used function of the spreadsheet, so the shortcut should be simple, with no modifier.
- It would make the transition with Excel easier.
Grouping in DataPilots
The problem
There is a nice a convenient grouping feature for Data Pilots that is unfortunately not easily discoverable.
Proposal
It should be possible to access this function using the contextual menu.
The contextual menu for a DataPilot counts fewer items than the regular context menu (7 menu entries, 1 separator / 10 menu entries, 4 separators ), so adding one more entry should be acceptable.
+----------------+ |Start... | |Refresh | |Filter... | |Group Data... | |Delete | +----------------+ |Cut | |Copy | |Paste | +----------------+
Additional Proposal
This function should not be accessible with Data > Group and Outline > Group but with Data > DataPilot > Group Data...
Formatting in DataPilot
The problem
Because formatting of data pilots is Style-based, every data pilot of a same file will have the same formatting. This is a problem when you need to have plain numbers and percentage, for instance. This problem is made worse by the fact that refreshing of a dataPilot overwrites direct formatting.
