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.

Hi,

I have Calc file with a long list of rows, what I need is to filter those
rows by some criteria entered by user.
So, if user enters "15" into some cell, list should immediately update
itself and show only rows containing "15"

Any suggestions?


Regards,
Oleg.
