Take any dataset and apply Autofilter to it. (Data > Filter > Autofilter). Then click on any column head, and select "Standard Filter" option. The Standard Filter GUI pops up. Click on the first pull-down ("Field Name"). Observe that it lists a "-None-" option. In terms of query-building, this creates confusing statements: Let us try a few sample statements: 1. Find None that is empty 2. Find None that is not empty Also, the GUI behaves erratically: 1. When we choose an option from a pull-down list, the options available in the pull-down on its right should be altered suitably. But in some cases it is reverse: When you select something on the right, the left column options change (which you had already selected!). 2. Some of the pull-down menus are grayed out, but the behavior is neither consistent nor logical. See the video here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwlATzWr1zTOQTNIQV9SZ25UcEE/edit?usp=sharing Please download and inform so that I can remove the video from my drive. I do not intend to keep it indefinitely. Desired: 1. Remove the "None" option. 2. Introduce the "left-to-right" behavior (when we operate a control, all the controls on its right side, or below, MAY change their behavior. But it must NEVER happen in the reverse direction.)
p.s. The GUI seems to have some influence of the past status (what was selected a few steps ago). As if following an elaborate state chart. But most of the behavior is not logical, so I conclude that it is an accidental case (not the intended behavior).
For me it is currently also not clear for what you need / would use "none". I can also not find anything in the LO help. Maybe somebody else can help?
