[libreoffice-users] Combining Two Columns In-Place

  In an Excel spreadsheet saved in .ods format are column pairs representing
data that can be combined into a single column because rows have a value in
one column or the other, but never both.

  In Xess I was able to put the cursor in a cell (e.g., N2) and enter the formula
'+n2+o2' and have the sum of the two columns in N2. LO doesn't like this. It
told me to turn on iteration (error 522), but that just moved the error to
523.

  Can I do this in LO? Or, do I need to create a new column and populate
that before removing the original two columns?

Thanks,

Rich
