Attn Daniel
I believe this must be meant for someone else Daniel. My problem with
Openoffice was that I could not find how to install it. Last evening I spent
over
an hour on it and then decided to give up on it all together.

It is important to check the cursor position inside the selection. You
have to enter the relative addresses in your formula according to this
cursor position. If you select A1:B12 with mouse or keyboard, starting
from A1, the cursor will usually be located in cell B12. So, the address
$A1 entered in cell B12 will result in "column A, 11 rows to top" (row
12 to row 1). This results in an invalid reference in the rows 1 to 11.
To solve your problem: You can move the cell cursor with the TAB key to
cell A1 before you open the dialog, or you can enter the formula using
"$A12" and "$B12" instead of $A1 and $B1, when the cursor is located in B12.
