I use tables a lot for my columnar data. In one case I’m using =sum to total the previous cells. Is there a way to code this so if a new row is inserted or deleted the =sum calculation will be automatically recalculated? I know calc does this but that’s really overkill for this task.
Thanks for any reply.
Works for me. Possibilities for not working are:
- Saved as .doc or .docx (always save as .odt to keep functionality)
- Inserting a row outside the range of the first and last summed rows. If you think you will add items in future leave a blank row before the sum but include that row in the sum; when you add a new row add it between the blank row and the last filled data row.
BTW adding a spreadsheet into a Writer document is quite simple and is best for anything more than absolute basic stuff like summing.
- Make your table in Calc with calculations then copy the range of used cells
- Click in Writer where you want the table and click Edit > Paste Special > Paste Special > LibreOffice Spreadsheet and click OK
- adjust Anchoring and Wrap options to suit and size as needed

And, to not see this blank row, set its height to 0 (menu Format - Size - Row Height).
