Description: Formatting cells is an overcomplicated process that without google I would have probably never figured this out. You have to create a profile for the font colour, then go into a completely different settings menu and then set it so it changes the cell profile depending on value. Could this be refined so instead of it requiring a different profile for a colour there is an option to change the colour on its own? I also could not figure out or if it was possible to highlight a cell depending on value. So if a number is greater then X it would change the cell colour to green. I couldn't see an option in the profile to highlight a specific cell, only the font or the complete background. I would love to see an option for individual cells if this possible. You can highlight cells manually but not automatically. And also for some reason the highlighter (Bucket) overlaps the outside of the cell instead of staying in the lines 😥 When there is 2 cells next to each other both highlighted it looks messy. 1 last thing which isn't really as big of a deal but if the functions could be refined. So if you type in (5+5) or (A1+A2) it would know that your trying to add the 2 together instead of =SUM(A1:A2). Or for multiplication its =PRODUCT(A1:A2). Its more just a quality of life improvement that would overall increase working speed. Thank you for reading and for being an awesome member of this community. And thank you to the devs working on Open Office and Libre Office for bring such a great office suite for those who do not want to or don't have the money to purchase MS Office. Its nice to have a viable option outside of multi trillion dollar corp. Steps to Reproduce: 1.N/A 2.N/A 3. Actual Results: N/A Expected Results: N/A Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: So overall the main improvements I think would be great for the software is the ability to change colours based on cell value more easily. Maybe have an option in the format menu to change colour if it applies to the selected rule (Greater then, less then, equal to...). The ability to automatically highlight cells based on select rule (Greater then, less then...). To fix highlighting so it stays within the lines of the cell in order to keep spreadsheet looking clean. Make functions slightly easier to type out. This is mainly so if your someone like me who relies on the use of lots of functions it would just make productivity allot easier. This isn't really that important and I am not sure how hard it would be to implement. If it is more difficult then I thought then I can understand why this would be put to 1 side for now.

Hi @CnPx, Thank you for reaching out. There are a couple of things that I noticed may be of help to you: 1. Highlighting a cell based on its value: Are you referring to Conditional formatting? If you go to Format > Conditional > Condition, you can specify a cell or a range of cells to be highlighted in any color/font effect that you would like. There is a link mentioned in Comment 1 earlier: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/scalc/guide/cellstyle_conditional.html?DbPAR=CALC#bm_id3149263 2. Adding (5+5) and (A1+A2) without requiring =SUM function: If you put an equal sign in front of these, e.g. =5+5 and =A1+A2, it will add up the values for you. No need to use an actual function like =SUM. I'm not sure about the rest of the ask, but once you clarify with some steps, and maybe some screenshots if possible, it will be easier for us to understand. If there is more than one bug or enhancement request (to me it's not clear at the moment if there is), then it's possible that they will need to be filed in a separate report, so we can review each individual ask separately. I hope this helps! I will change the Status to NEEDINFO as we wait for your answer. Please change it back to UNCONFIRMED once you respond.
