Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc: How to refresh advanced filter automatically

Oleg,

It might help us to know more about your application. There are functions  
within Calc to do this under the menu item: Data.  Using these  
database-like operations in Calc (or any other spreadsheet) requires a  
reasonably experienced level of user.  The user must place the "15" in  
exactly the correct cell and then navigate to the portion of the  
spreadsheet which will display the result.

This type of operation, IMHO, is better done in a database, ie. LO Base.   
The user input can be gathered through a Form. The results of the query  
are quick and interactive.

If you are just beginning to design this application for users please make  
a good decision about spreadsheet versus database for the "engine". I just  
finished 10 years of IT Management which included troubleshooting massive  
and tangled spreadsheet apps that should have been databases from the  
beginning.
