This is a call for those people who are missing a feature that they absolutely must have in LibreOffice, to 1) check whether it has been added since they last looked (when was that, again?) and 2) to put in a feature request if it isn't there.
Tables in the spreadsheets program, fuckers.
At this stage, I am highly confident that they accepted that they will never add it.
Are there ways of doing table things in LibreOffice, even if that specific feature isn't there? That's been why they haven't added things in the past... but then eventually caved in and added them.
I'm thinking mainly of the fact that for long enough either LibreOffice (or its predecessor OpenOffice? It might have been that long ago) would try to add all one million vertical cells as a data range to a chart if the user selected an entire column, and the devs refused to "fix" that to only use everything down to the last non-blank cell.
But eventually someone got on the dev team who was willing to do that.
No harm in asking again.
