Just to add to this: when I enter a range (e.g. A4:A6) and then hit F4, BOTH of those references should be fixed, not just the last one. Again, this is how other suites do it. If the user only wishes to fix one of the two references - which is relatively unusual - they should highlight it ...

Hi,

In Planmaker:

I start a formula by pressing "=" and then click on a cell.

Then I press F4 to fix that reference, which it duly does.

Then I press "+" to continue the formula and... the reference disappears, leaving only "+" in the cell.

(It doesn't matter what I press after F4 - it could be ...

I'm so sorry - please ignore this - my conditions were not met by any data in the array, hence the #CALC! error. My fault.

Hi - It's great to see XLOOKUP and FILTER being supported in Planmaker. However, this formula - which attempts to set two conditions for a filter - isn't working:

=FILTER($B$2:$C$5,($B$2:$B$5<3)*($C$2:$C$5="b"))

It returns a #CALC! error.

What am I doing wrong?

Ok. Understand all that. Bottom line: Softmaker have no plans to offer a macro solution for Linux - it clearly isn't a priority for them - so users will need to decide whether to pay for their software or use a free alternative that does. It's a shame, because Planmaker is very good in many ways and ...

... and I replied, respectfully asking why LibreOffice and OnlyOffice can offer macros on Linux - despite the technical constraints - but Softmaker can't.

I'm not trying to be difficult. I'm just trying to find a Linux spreadsheet to which I can fully migrate, finally leaving Microsoft behind. I'm ...

Thanks - I understand that, but I'm not sure that explains why Softmaker offers macro support to Windows users, but not Linux users?

Thanks. Just to help me understand... How is it that LibreOffice and OnlyOffice both offer macros for the Linux versions of their suites? Is there something different about your approach to macros that makes it more difficult under Linux? It's a real shame, because this is a big "gap".

It works! Fantastic, thank you

Genuine question - can you briefly explain why Linux users won't get macros, but Windows users do? Is that a commercial decision (i.e. there are more Windows users, so you invest more development in their version of Softmaker Office) or something technical about Linux?

Thank you for raising this issue and explaining it better than I can! It's been driving me mad for ages. In the end, I just got rid of all the Softmaker Office icons (instructions here: https://www.softmaker.com/en/support/installation/linux/office-nx) and Mint reverted back to what I had previously ...

Hi - did you manage to replicate the issue please?

Hi,

I have set up a regular subscription for Softmaker NX, which renews automatically each month.

However, the software has just announced that my subscription ends on the renewal date and says I need to renew it, or the software will stop working.

Do I need to do anything? Why has the message ...

Thank you! That means I will continue to pay my monthly subscription, in the hope that the new version will fill some of the gaps vs Excel. Will there be any other improvements to Planmaker, beyond XLOOKUP and FILTER?

Oh! - so we will get the major new version within the next 2-3 months, complete with XLOOKUP and FILTER (etc.)?
