Yeah that's why I often end up making a spreadsheet. I'd love to use LibreOffice for them but often find google sheet more flexible. I'm not very happy about that but that's how it is. I was curious to know if I missed something new that didn't come up through my searches.
Something new with Calc? Not to my knowledge, though I've never found something I couldn't do. What additional features do Google Docs have?
Some functions like QUERY, SORT, CHOOSECOLS that makes it easier. I tried to understand how merging several columns into one would work in Calc and gave up. There are workarounds but no legit way to do it outside scripting, but I'd like to keep my sheets script free. Also there are no in cell checkboxes in Calc, but I guess you could just use a boolean. Overall I'm often frustrated by Calc and shamefully go back to G.
It's this button.
Checkboxes:

Sorry I meant getting the union of two ranges, concatenating two columns, putting the data of two different columns into one. Don't worry about it though, I found you can do some stuff with INDEX, but then you can't sort it, so I arranged my data in another way and color coded it... The whole process was quite annoying tbh but I got what I wanted. On your example with checkboxes they don't behave as part of the cell, idk how they work but that's weird compared to gdocs. I can use true/false instead. Also I didn't want to turn this thread into a Calc stackoverflow one ^^ Thanks for the help all the same.
