Description mstoer 2003-06-13 18:41:36 UTC
In Excel, when creating a new column based on some math of an immediately
adjacent column you can quickly fill the new column with the new data.  For
example. Column A has 100 rows of some numbers.  You want column B to be the
contents of A*A. 

You doing the following :
1. enter you formula in the first row of the column (B1 -> =A1*A1) 
2. Highlight the entry
3. double-click the the little black box on the lower right-hand-corner of the
selection. and Excel automatically fills the other 99 rows with the formula.

Can we have that in Calc too please?

Hello Niklas, it is indeed a nice calc feature. Please give approval for this
evaluated OO.o 2.0 flagged issue. 
If you confirm with the target OO.o 2.0, then please keep it on your owner (or
the owner of the concerning developer) for implementation. In case you want this
issue for 'OOo Later', then please reset the target milestone. If you decline
the issue finally, please set the resolution to 'Wontfix' (but do not close). In
case of 'OOo Later' or 'Wontfix' please reset it on Bettina's owner. Thank you.

Same as 12313 (and not something for 2.0).
