Refreshing Database Range resets cell formatting
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:12:27 UTC
Situation: OOO Spreadsheet with a defined Database Range base on a Data Source Query in the DSB. Steps to reproduce: 1. Change cell formatting in the defined Database Range, background color, conditional formatting, or boldface for example. 2. Data > Refresh Range What should happen: Data updated without affecting formatting. What did happen: Cell formatting reset. Conditional formatting LOST. Other: Doesn't happen in Excel 2002 (XP).
Problem still exists in 1.1 RC
Confirmed in 1.1 RC4
all cell formatting is lost when the data range is refreshed,. including the line-wrap setting. So the effect is really grotesque and embarrassing.
Hi Niklas, one for you. Frank
Frank, see internal #105443#.
Hi, as this is not implemented yet, I change the flags to Enhancement and re-assign it. Bettina, see internal #105443# and the Ideenbord. Frank
Summary: Refreshing Database Range resets cell formatting. Not so easy to enhance. We have to find another solution as just keeping the formatting as default due to the fact that we currently cannot distinguish in between number format and cell formatting. After discussion we came to the conclusion to consider this issue for OO.o later.
