Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-1546) Editor Note: Section17.798.7 <text:table-formula> (text:display)
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-1546?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12159#action_12159 ]
Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-1546:
-----------------------------------------
MISSING FEATURE? <text:table-cell> (ODF 1.2 Part 1 cd02 section 8.1.3) does not have an equivalent of the <text:table-formula> text:display attribute. The only way I can see this might be supported would be via a style. Are there defined table-cell styles that provides the equivalent functionality of the three text:display cases?
NOTE PLEASE: <text:table-formula> is deprecated in ODF 1.1.
ODF 1.1 section 6.6.11 Table Formula Field is quite specific about the <text:table-formula> text:display attribute:
"Use this attribute to specify one of the following:
" -To display the value of the field.
" -To display the formula used to compute the value.
"See section 6.7.5 for information on using this attribute."
ODF 1.1 section 6.7.5 is a bit problematic in that it specifies that there are three defined values but it makes no specific mention to the cases available in the <table:formula> element.
Even though <text:table-formula> is deprecated, it is probably still useful to get this right.
The cases are
text:display="none" - do not present a value
text:display="value" - present the value - i.e., the last-calculated value of the formula
text:display="formula" - present the formula rather than the value
These variations are quite useful when the formula is for an intermediate result but its presentation is not useful ("none") or when it is the formula that is more of interest ("formula") than its value (which can always be presented in a different place or simply used in further calculations. The "formula" case is useful in spreadsheets and in situations where presentation of a formula is useful as demonstration of what a derivation is based on (or even when demonstrating a bug or interoperability problem).
Spreadsheet implementations offer a variety of ways to specify these variations.
