Bojidar Marinov<p>LibreOffice's codebase is absolutely massive (~50M lines according to cloc?), and it very much got me beat the other day, when I "speedran" a scant 2 bugfixes in 7 hours.</p><p>So today, I'm going for a rematch!

LibreOffice<p>Open Document Format – the native format of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LibreOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LibreOffice</span></a> – is built on XML.

Beardy Star Stuff<p>I was performing those actions at the top of the spreadsheet. If I scroll to the bottom and add a new row there and do the exact same thing, it works. </p><p>It's as though the application does not realize that I've entered a formula and is just treating it as text? I must be overlooking something.</p><p>Creating a new row at various points in the document and trying the formula sometimes works, sometimes not. </p><p><a href="https://social.coop/tags/LibreOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LibreOffice</span></a></p>
Beardy Star Stuff<p>Okay, entering formulas into LibreOffice Calc fails way too often. I never know if it's going to work. </p><p>- I make a new row. Sometimes I can copy a formula from the previous row and paste in and it works. Other times, no.<br>- It didn't work today so I tried manually entering in formula. It just shows the formula in the cell but does not calculate the result. <br>- Delete row, try a new row. <br>- Confirm that formula is correct multiple times. </p><p>What incantation am I missing?</p><p><a href="https://social.coop/tags/LibreOffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LibreOffice</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@libreoffice" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>libreoffice</span></a></span></p>
