Are there ways of doing table things in LibreOffice, even if that specific feature isn't there? That's been why they haven't added things in the past... but then eventually caved in and added them.
I'm thinking mainly of the fact that for long enough either LibreOffice (or its predecessor OpenOffice? It might have been that long ago) would try to add all one million vertical cells as a data range to a chart if the user selected an entire column, and the devs refused to "fix" that to only use everything down to the last non-blank cell.
But eventually someone got on the dev team who was willing to do that.
No harm in asking again.

What do you mean? I’m assuming you aren’t referring to LibreOffice Calc, as that entire program is tables.

I don’t think you understand what they want. I use Calc and Excel and would rather work in Excel because of the features like creating tables. I manipulate data all the time and creating tables from that data makes manipulating it very easy since I can sort and filter it. I can also use the tables I created in other sheets for things like lookups. It’s pretty hard to do that in Calc. But if you want a better idea of the features that Calc should adopt then take the Google Professional certification on Data Analytics if you have the time to skim through it quickly to avoid paying.

LibreOffice also includes Base, while it's now missing in some 365 editions.
