Insert rows according to the detected width and height. Turn on the above mentioned option "Expand references when new rows/columns are inserted". Take the height of the current selection as row count to be inserted. Get the width of the current range (adjacent non-empty cells around the selection) as width of the list range.
Get the currently selected range of cells and break silently if the selection is not not a single range. The routine called "insertListRows" works like this: I use them with shortcuts Ctrl+Ins and Ctrl+Del. The following pair of Python macros takes care of all this.
Whenever you insert a new row into your spreadsheet list, you have to copy the formulas into the new records.
Quite often such a list includes calculated fields:Ĭode: Select all Article Count Price Amount This can be turned off because this behaviour can be quite annoying when designing a calculation model. With this option set, you get your references adjusted even when you insert cells at the end of a list (insert columns at the right side or insert rows directly below a range). One option related to this issue is Menu:Tools>Options.Calc>General, "Expand references when new columns/rows are inserted". Chart ranges, validation lists and conditional formatting are other features where expansion by insertion takes place. New data are affected by the filter/sort operation only if they are entered into newly inserted cells. The same problem occurs when you refresh sorted and/or filtered ranges. All references expand automatically after insertion of new cells in between the existing rows. For instance, the sum of a column =SUM($A$1:$A$99) the will *not* expand to =SUM($A$1:$A$100) when you simply append new data in row 100. One of the drawbacks of list processing in spreadsheets is the risk of losing the right references when you simply append data to the empty cells below the previously used range.

LibreOffice changed the way how merged cells are handled on cell insertion which interfered with my macro in strange ways. EDIT : Added a reduced version for LIbreOffice where merged cells are not handled.
