Hello everyone!

There is one option missing in Calc, and that is "Clone". By that I meanpasting a 1:1 copy without changing formulas or anything, so that thenewly pasted cells will have the exact same formulas and output as thesource cells, independent of the new location.A "clone" function would be valuable to use different formulas on thesame source cells. E.g. one could calculate the average of some data,copy those "average cells" to the next row and replace "AVERAGE" with"STDEV" to have standard deviation without much additional work. These"easy" tasks can become very difficult when the source data is spreadthroughout a sheet or even worse different sheets.With joy I saw the new "Paste Only" in Calc, which is a very usefulshortcut to "Paste Special". "Clone cells" would also be a nice additionhere.


Greetings,
DM
