Thanks for the feedback. I'll give it a try. John On 02/05/2017 04:30 AM, Bruce Hohl wrote:
This is not really an answer but ... sometimes I have a problem with my Windows PC at work, and the IT person confirms the problem, but trouble shooting the problem will take longer than reinstalling ... so by analogy I suggest you rebuild the spreadsheet starting with File > New > Spreadsheet. Bring all you data and formulas into the new spreadsheet by Edit > Paste Special without Formats or Objects. Better yet just Paste Special "Values" (Text, Numbers, Date & Time) and recreate the formulas. Copy & Paste Special selected blocks of cell never entire columns. Recreate ALL formatting in the new spreadsheet. End by saving in ODS format. I know this might seem like overkill but sometimes particular spreadsheets "acquire" unique problems which are most easily resolved with a rebuild (reinstall). Consider it an opportunity to improve the worksheet with better functions available more clear layout & formatting. On Sat, Feb 4, 2017 at 9:48 PM, John R.

I have done a further test to find that even if I perform an F9 AND a save, it still crashes. This seemed to have started when I turned off "auto calc". Haven't tested by turning autocalc back on.

Page 2 is a chart of accounts that a column in page 1 refers to often. Page 1 is about 400 lines long, maybe 10 columns wide. There is a date column, but I do not do date math, and no other cells refer to the date column. That said, after December, through April (FY), entering data takes about 30 seconds per cell (a long time in computer years). The solution I received from this list was to turn off all formatting (font, bold, not much more). That was unacceptable, so recently I tried turning off auto-calc, requiring I use F9 to recalc the sheet after additions/changes. It didn't help much. And, in the process, I found the following. On to the "verified fatal error": I have a group of about 10 lines that I want to delete. Lines above and below are referenced in page 3. I select and delete the lines and get the following fatal error: (three times (verified)) Fatal Error (title in a window) multi_type_vector::position#1321:block position not found! (logical pos=4294967275, block size=9. logical size=1048575) I had 5 sheets open, all 5 were damaged, and all 5 were recovered upon reentry. Ubuntu 16.04 and LO version 5.1.4 What I have not tried is to F9 and/or save before the delete.
