Re: [libreoffice-users] Chart Range Entire Column

I'll look into both solutions provided although the Base one kind of goes
outside of the scope of what I'm looking for. This is an issue that has
applied to a lot of spreadsheets for me and an auto update feature would be
really useful. My spreadsheet structure is like this:

A|B|C
Date|Income|Expenses
YY/DD/MM|$$$$|$$$$

It seems like this wouldn't be the best for a database and seems to be
perfect for a spreadsheet.


Many thanks, I will be putting this into FDO as an enhancement request, I
believe that MSO does it but not positive.


Regards,
Joel
