Hi :)
Good plan! :)

I was wondering if another way might be to use the freeze window to keep
the left side steady and then do the "split" on the right.  I tend to find
the "split" thing gets VERY confusing because people seem to be able to
scroll all different ways inside all 4 quadrants.  Better to just open the
same file 2-4 time imo.  The freeze option keeps it's 4 quadrants lined-up
with each other other and looks very tidy and professional.

Errr, i just tried it and you can't use split and freeze at the same time.
Split looked a LOT less confusing than when i last used it (in the previous
millenium (so i guess some things have moved on since then!)).

So my next thought was whether the spreadsheet could be viewed in html,
maybe with frames (yuk!) or something?

Also wondering if Gnumeric could view the spreadsheet in such a way?

It might be an interesting "feature request".  I can't imagine many people
needing it but it might still be interesting.  I wonder if it could be
added as an "Extension".  That made me wonder if someone already has
created an Extension to do this.  There are a few Extensions that greatly
add to Calc's functionality so i wonder if any of them do this already.

Personally i would rather see Calc gain the ability to have a chart be an
entire sheet rather than having to try to put a chart on top of a sheet
(and maybe some weeu scrolling too far and 'lose' the chart).

On the other hand Andrew seems happy to do what most of us do and just move
the chart so this thread is really closed now isn't it? ;)
Regards from
Tom :)

Thanks for that - I'll just move the chart!

I think freeze and split windows are intended for scrolling around large
table of data, for example to keep heading and total rows and columns in
view. So they keep the rows in the views next to each lined up so the
headings match the data. But as I understand it, you want to break that
coupling, so you can scroll the left side up and down without the right
side moving. I don't think that's possible, although it may be an
interesting feature request. As it happens, I have a similar sheet where
I'm continually adding new data to the bottom of the table and have a
chart
to the right of it, but I just move the chart down the sheet as more data
is added.

Another possibility is use Window > New Window to open a second window of
the same document, then arrange the two windows on screen as you want.
Changes in one window are reflected in the other (it's the same document,
not a copy). But I don't think that arrangement is saved so you'd have to
set the windows up each time you open the file, which may or may not work
for you. It may be possible to use a macro to automate opening a second
window and positioning it, but I'm not sure of the details for that and
may
not work too well if someone with a different size screen opens it.


A couple of things which I don't think are quite what you want, but
mention in case they do the trick or inspire other ideas...

Place the cursor in F1 before selecting Window > Split or Window >
Freeze.
But the two halves would scroll together vertically; you'll only be able
to
scroll them separately horizontally.

You can also split both horizontally and vertically at the same time by
first positioning the cursor somewhere in the middle of the sheet (e.g.
F20) then Window > Split. But again the two parts next to each other
horizontally would be kept in sync when scrolling vertically, and the two
parts stacked vertically would be kept in sync when scrolling
horizontally.
So you'd end up with only the lower left part available for scrolling
around your data. If you scrolled the top left part vertically, or the
lower right part horizontally, it would also scroll your chart in the top
right out of view. (Hope that all makes sense... if not just try it and
see
what happens!)

Is it possible to freeze the left and right parts of a spreadsheet (as
opposed to the upper and lower parts, which I know you can do)?

Thanks

 That doesn't do exactly what I want...

The data starts at A1; the chart occupies the space G3/M19.  What I'd
ideally like to do is split the sheet vertically between say columns E
and
F and be able to scroll the data columns.  Can this be done?

Thanks again.

 You are able.  Select a cell below your chart, then
select WINDOW -> FREEZE.

That should do it.

 Hello

First post here, hope it's in the right place...

I have a simple spreadsheet in Calc - just a few columns fo data and
a
chart at the top of the page.  The data columns are quite long
(hundreds
of
lines eventually) and I would like to fix the position of the chart
at
the
top of the page and scroll down the data columns.

Assuming this makes sense, is it possible???

TIA

Andrew
