[Issue 125730] New: Enhancement to "copy to" feature of filter(s) to copy VALUE not formula

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=125730

          Issue ID: 125730
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Enhancement to "copy to" feature of filter(s) to copy
                    VALUE not formula
           Product: Calc
           Version: 4.1.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: editing
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: asg@solace.demon.co.uk

This issue is briefly discussed in the following thread:

https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=72770

Adding an option to the "copy to" feature of a data filter (like that in Paste
Special) would greatly enhance the power of the filters. I appreciate that this
is a quasi database function but then again so is the whole concept of filters
anyway.

I am guessing that the infrastructure already exists - it is just a question of
how to incorporate the additional options in the filter dialogs.

A little example follows:

a    b    c    d

        1    10
        2    20
        3    30
Total    Smith    6    60

        4    40
        5    50
        6    60
Total    Jones    15    150

Result I get:            
a    b    c    d
Total    Smith    0    0
Total    Jones    0    0

Results I would hope for:            
a    b    c    d
Total    Smith    6    60
Total    Jones    15    150

OK, but I do not see this is exactly relevant to my request for an enhancement.

I specifically want the cell computed _values_ copied and not the cell formulae
so what you see in the destination (wherever that is, same sheet or otherwise)
is what you "see" in the original cells that you want to replicate. Call it
"copy by value" not "copy by reference" which is sort of what the current
implementation does.
