Entering formula: Get list of available functions

Hi,

I have OpenOffice 3 Calc for Mac.

When I in a cell in Excel enter the equal sign and the first character of the function I need, I immediately get a dropdown list of all functions starting with that character, allowing me to select the desired function.

How do I configure Calc to display the same type of available functions starting with the first character entered?

Thanks for help on this.

regards

Calc does not have this functionality, currently. If you believe this to be a problem (and I might concur with you), I suggest you file an enhancement request. If you do file one, please post a link to it by using the form “fdo#123” (the system will automatically link to the bug report, number 123 in this case).

Meanwhile, a workaround would be to use the “Fx” button to open a dialog box the help you write your formulas. This dialog box contains all functions in list form with a quick synopsis and appropriate input fields for each. It’s not what you desire, but it’s better than nothing, I suppose.
