Description actuaryfrank 2013-09-12 00:21:14 UTC
Problem description: 

In some of my Calc speadsheets, some cells do NOT recalculate when I hit Recalculate (or F9).  Other cells do recalculate.  I have not experienced this problem with any prior version.

Current behavior:  In some spread sheets not all cells are recalculated when I hit the Recalculate button.  I have not been able to find a way to force those cells to recalculate in 4.1.1.2.

Expected behavior: All cells in every spreadsheet should recalculate when I hit Recalculate (or F9).

Fortunately I still have an earlier version on another pc, so I am using that until this problem is resolved.

              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.1.1.2 release
Last worked in: 4.1.0.4 release
Comment 1 m.a.riosv 2013-09-12 14:40:21 UTC
Hi actuaryfrank, thanks for reporting.

Sure you need to do a hard recalc [Ctrl+Shift+F9].
Please take a look to:
https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Recalculate
Comment 2 actuaryfrank 2013-09-12 16:07:14 UTC
Mariosv, thanks for the tip on doing a hard recalc (Ctrl+Shift+F9).  I
uninstalled 4.1.1.2 and reinstalled one of the 4.0 versions, which solved
the problem.  Later I will try reinstalling 4.1.1.2 and using your hard
recalc suggestion.

Actuary Frank

Comment 3 m.a.riosv 2013-09-12 16:10:54 UTC
Are you saying that in 4.0 works without hard recalc?
Comment 4 actuaryfrank 2013-09-12 17:33:29 UTC
Yes...and in every prior version, I never found it necessary to use hard
recalc.  Also in earlier versions of OpenOffice prior to the advent of
LibreOffice.

Please could you attach a simple sample file where to verify the issue?

Also please do not attach the original mail, if you can answer here?
Comment 6 Laurent BP 2014-01-25 20:20:10 UTC
Created attachment 92784 [details]
Test file with values not updated

Procedure:
1. Open attached file
2. Change value in D4 (active sheet "Data")

Expected behavior:
Values in A4, B4 and C4 should be updated.

Current behavior:
Values are unchanged even if the cells where their formula are pointing is updated

Hit Ctrl+Shift+F9 to update.

Tested versions:
- LibO Suse 4.1.4.2
- LibO 4.2.0.3

I tried to simplify as much my file. But if I removed the first sheet (which is now useless), then cells values are automatically updated.
Comment 7 Laurent BP 2014-01-25 20:27:05 UTC
The formula not updated are of the type: "='Other sheet'.A1"

On large and complex file it is quite difficult to detect such errors.
Comment 8 Joel Madero 2014-01-25 20:50:09 UTC
I believe this is a duplicate and has been resolved in the last couple days. In the future if you nominate a bug to MAB please make sure to follow procedures (leave a comment on the MAB tracker explaining the bug and why you nominated it)

This one probably qualifies but like I said, almost positive it's resolved as of a couple days ago.

If you would like to test: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/libreoffice-4-2/Win-x86@42/2014-01-24_14.53.30/

That's from about 24 hours ago - perhaps it's fixed there
Comment 9 Laurent BP 2014-01-26 08:02:32 UTC
@Joel: Thanks for your advise. Add comment on mab. Did you test with the version you mentioned?

Confirmed with master build on 25th January 2013 (yesterday) 
Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 83924113beb0ebfd6abbe6f8ca44fb929da0934c
Comment 10 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2014-01-26 08:39:03 UTC
Confirmed with version 4.2.0.3.0+ Build ID: b09fae12aaae3519559a1915d258525b5fbcfbca (2 commits after RC3) on Ubuntu 13.10 x86-64
With this version the first time I modify the cell D4, I need to hit ctrl+maj+F9 to force to update the dependent cells. But if I modify again the value in D4, the update is automatic.

Same behavior with master (Version: 4.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 574773ac298153b97237b3432b601a83938eaf6b) 

With both versions, if the first thing I do when the file is loaded is to hit ctrl+maj+F9, then further recalculations are automatic.

Best regards. JBF

Comment 14 Laurent BP 2014-01-26 15:28:34 UTC
A workaround is to set option: Tools > Option > LibreOffice Calc > Formula: Recalculation on file load, ODF Spreadsheet (not saved by LibreOffice)
to "Always recalculate". Actually, recalculation is operated even if the file has been saved by LibreOffice.

But the bug is not there. Under LibO 4.0, this option was set to default as "Always recalculate". But if you change this option to "Never recalculate", there is no bug: values are correctly calculated.

With LibO 4.1.0.beta1, option is set to "Never recalculate" as default, and there is no bug: values are correctly calculated.

With LibO 4.1.0.beta2, option is the same, but values are not recalculated. If you set option to "Always recalculate", then the bug does not appear (it is just like typing Ctrl+Shift+F9 when opening file).
