Hey, Mac Numbers pros: Is there a way to keep a chart visible while scrolling through a long spreadsheet? I feel like this should be an easy thing, but my early morning brain cells can't figure it out. #apple #mac #numbers #spreadsheet

- turns out that #LibreOffice #Calc can natively read some (but not all!) variants of the ancient #Microsoft #Multiplan file format.
Multiplan was a #spreadsheet application from the early/mid '80s that preceded #Excel. More info on the format in this excellent 2023 post by @Thorsted:

And Multiplan is still available here:

Tomorrow, join us at Aberdeen Python User group as we look at Grist, a "modern, open source spreadsheet that goes beyond the grid".
The presenter Robert McWilliam will take a deep dive into its features. Then we will then have some challenges to try from simply using Grist like a normal spreadsheet through to using some of the more advanced features.

Total sidenote, just for #auspol nerds, here's the #spreadsheet fun I've had …
I nerdswiped myself because of my old faithful tactic being unavailable — I'll reveal it even if not valuable to most people — I used to take the Family First HTV and say thank you, because they were very useful — and then turn their HTV upside down. A handy alignment of 180° interests, in the 2010s for me. But they don't run everywhere anymore.
But once you go past the 2PP candidates, it doesn't matter of course
I need to set up a private spreadsheet that is viewable and editable by an elderly relation (who uses spreadsheets all the time) and a couple of younger family members, one of whom lives interstate.
The obvious answer is Google Sheets. Is there an alternative that is usable for these people?

"Due to an administrative error, the waiting list data previously provided to the Regional Health Forum West Members was incorrect. This occurred due to the miscalculation of the OT excel spreadsheet whereby only one tab of the excel sheet was provided rather than the full total. This has since been identified and rectified and we wish to apologise for this error."
Highland Radio - Latest Donegal News and Sport · Donegal OT waiting lists are double than what was previously believed - Highland Radio - Latest Donegal News and SportA clarification received by a councillor on the Regional Health Forum West Committee has revealed that waiting lists for occupational therapy in Donegal are twice as long as previously stated. Last month, Cllr Declan Meehan was informed that 476 people were awaiting appointments. However, a clarification issued on Monday shows the actual figure to be […]
Hello, #fediverse
Does anyone know a #spreadsheet alternative to Google Sheets that is cloud based and anyone can see with a link?
Did some light searching, but no idea what's good or not. Lol.
Just ran into a brutal #UI / #UX problem in LibreOffice Calc, on a Debian bookworm system, fully up to date.
1. Decide to print spreadsheet
2. Open print dialog
3. Preview is in the left pane, options in the right.
4. Scroll down in the options pane to find an option near the bottom.
5. Change setting, or not.
6. Scroll back up to the top of the options pane, using the pointing device vertical scroll wheel.
7. If the "number of copies" scrollbox happens to pass under the mouse pointer, it will rapidly increase the number of copies. It's not particularly obvious this is happening; it's easy to miss the value is changing.
8. Move the mouse pointer slightly up and scrolling the options pane continues.
9. Click "print".
Voila! 23 copies of what you wanted to print a single copy of.
I actually ran into this while trying to debug a totally different UI / UX bug 
My brother needs a spreadsheet program secure enough to use for patient data.
Excel is MS and works like shit on Linux.
LibreCalc has terrible UI (so by brother says).
Google Sheet is Google and is not secure enough.
Suggestions? =)
So irritated I’m just now learning this MS Excel SUM data tip. 
This kind of reminds me of a time I was asked to create what was essentially a bare bones controlled drug register in a spreadsheet for a small study. It worked but only because there were different sets of eyes monitoring it and I do not recommend it as a long term solution.

You can paint in Excel (so presumably also in LibreOffice Calc too).
I am genuinely boggled at how detailed the pictures are.

Because I think there are definitely going to be that many options.

I like it so much.
If the software development was done in a right way we'd end with the most often used tools which don't have a reason to get new features anymore (text editors, spreadsheets, file managers) rewritten in the most efficient way possible. Like, idk, in C with hot path in assembly (or in Rust for security-critcal parts) with tiny memory footprint on 90% trivial cases, milliseconds to first user input etc.
In fact we have exact the opposite - asm in the office apps was absolutely normal in the 90x and I can't imagine anyone doing this nowadays, memory footprint of an empty spreadsheet is 200MB and it takes 5sec. to load with cold cache on a 3Ghz 4 cores with 16G ram with SSD. And the most items in the changelog are about fixing compatibility with some proprietary crap (in FOSS) or adding AI, moving to subscription model or even more telemetry in non-free.
