Calc Features
Number of rows
Selection for filters
Formatting
DataPilot
Support of 1 Million Rows
or 220=1048576 rows to be exact
Modified data structuresUses Kohei Yoshida's Flat Segment Tree to replacestorage of row heights in an RLE array
storage of row attributes, i.e. hidden and filtered, in arrays
Storage of manual and calculated page breaks in sets instead of arrays
Distribution of broadcast area slots for change notifications logarithmic instead of linear
Support of 1 Million Rows
Performance problems solvedEliminated most loops that looped over all rows, taking advantage of the Flat Segment Tree elements' boundary positionsneeded 2-3 CWS iterations and
days and weeks of profiling scenarios
Support of 1 Million Rows
Display problems solvedInserting a drawing object or comment near the bottom would had displayed the object with a few rows offsetChanged a rounding used for converting drawing layer offsets to pixels within the view
Automatic Number of Decimals
for "General" Number
The number of decimals displayedpreviously was fixed according to the options setting now is dynamically adapted to the column width, unless a number format is used or the options setting is fixExisting documents retain their fixed options setting
New documents default to dynamic display
Adapt Marked Selection to Used Data Columns
for Filter Area
Applying an AutoFilter to one selected rowpreviously included only the selected row as data areanow expands to the data area below the selected row
previously included 1000 empty columnsnow shrinks to the used data columns
