[Dropped] Laptop freeze on use of 'Copy' command

Post by kennedypiano »

In an ODS file, I use a dedicated sheet is used to hold the data for a graph and the display of that graph. When I use the 'copy' command to add more data to the graph by copying the following equation "=VLOOKUP(O218;ConversionTable;3)*O218" to another cell, the spreadsheet (and hence the computer) freezes. I then have to use Task Manager to close Open Office.

Attachment COPY TEST.ods does not contain a chart. It does not contain defined name ConversionTable. If setting Windows key → Settings → System → Clipboard → Suggested Actions → Off does not correct the difficulty you're having attach a spreadsheet containing that formula. Indicate which cell in which sheet contains the formula you want to copy and which cell in which sheet is to receive the copy. I will not help further without that information.
