I am using multisheet workbooks for making e.g. budgets for several 
departments. Every department its own sheet and total ofcourse summed.

By updating for the next year I simply want to remove specific year columns 
from previous year(s; in Excel this can be done by selecting all the sheets, 
selct the columns and/or rows to be deleted. This works perfect with Excel. 
Now I experienced that this not the case wthin Calc. Only in the visible (top)
sheet the column(s) or row(s) is deleted. Moreover, if I do this in 
the 'totalsheet' cellreferences do not shift, e.g. if I remove the E-column 
the F-column becomes the new E-colmn, but the summing is stillover the sheets 
F-columns, thus giving wrong results. In Excel this operation can be done as 
above explained and gives correct results.

Question: Is this known, and so is it policy not to include this type of "3D-
operations. If (in OO) I select more than one sheet and fill in e.g. a number, 
it will be in all selected sheets, thus there is some 3D-functionality. In 
spreadsheets from other companies this is not the case; thus no 3D 
functionality at all. 

Kind regards,  George Reman
