Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 44731
Conditional Labels for cell values, similar to Conditional Formatting
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:12:27 UTC
The SPSS statistics program (www.spss.com) has a useful feature for improving the entry and readability of large data arrays: You can define labels that will be displayed within the cell when certain values are entered. For instance, a value '1' can be coded to display as "Female" while '2' can display "Male." In SPSS this is called "Value Labels," but the functionality is very similar to Calc's Conditional Formatting. It could possibly be integrated into the same dialog as that feature.
