Description Jaise James 2012-07-10 07:47:38 UTC
Break Link [in edit menu] turn cell into #Ref except first cell.

Expected behavior - Retain the cell values

Step to reproduce

1. copy some cell from any saved spreadsheet.
2. paste special as Link
3. go to edit -> Link -> Break link
4. All cell turned to turned # ref except first cell, irrespective reference file available or not.

So we cannot send the file without link.

Comment 7 Jaise James 2012-10-16 04:32:51 UTC
Note: While breaking, all data is shown. If double click, data turn to #ref. After breaking all cell show data, but for all cell, cell formula point to the first cell of linked array. & any further operation turn cells into #ref.

Example : E7 to G12 is linked array. After breaking, all cells show the formula ={E7} pointing to first cell of linked array. Any further operation turn cells into #ref.
