------- Additional comments from bruce_vannor...@openoffice.org Fri Apr 3 18:39:35 +0000 2009 ------- OOcalc v2.4.2 on FC9 - <Insert | Link to External Data | Available tables/ranges> imports the cell contents rather than the cell values. Since the contents, in my case, is a bunch of formulas referencing data local to the table/range sheet, the results are useless. My work around is to have an explicit URL <file:/// ...> in the cells of the data sink. For some reason, this causes the data source sheet to "re-calculate" and deliver the correct values to the cells of the data sink sheet. This is fun to watch, because the data source sheet, in turn, has dependencies that reference other external data sources. My case has 4 ODS files in the source to sink chain. --- Note: I have annual files (2008projectExpenses.ods) and the carry over's are pulled from 2007projectExpenses. Spreadsheets are required because these expenses are apportioned from posted actuals extracted from an RDBMS (time based data spreads, AKA re-bucketing - ref: "management accounting" & "cost estimating" concepts). SQL does not have the financial modelling and analysis capabilities of a spreadsheet! --- The "management accounting" elements, such as, BCWS (Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled), BCWP (Budgeted Cost of Work Performed), ECAC (estimated cost at completion), and ECD (Estimated Completion Date) require a lot of calculations. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
