Hopefully, this explanation will answer the questions reaided. Not really! I think you've confirmed that the 1 figure is irrelevant in the calculation. But your earlier statements that if day 1 reaches a production of 10,000 units I want this figure entered and If days 1+2+3+4 total, say, 42,500 I want ... to show the average of 10,265 both indicate that the required result does not depend on other daily values. These contradict the idea that you simply want the true average of all seven values. Unsurprisingly, you can calculate averages using the AVERAGE() function. Incidentally, doesn't all this cry out for a table instead of a list? Put a week date (or date range) in column A, as you suggest. Enter your data for the days of that week in columns B to H of the same row. It's then particularly simple to calculate averages in column I. At the bottom of the columns, you could calculate averages for each weekday - and perhaps discover that you need to be more active on Thursdays! Ha! I constructed a table, as you suggested and, yes, it does meet my requirements. Thanks for the suggestion, Brian.

[libreoffice-users] Calc formula ...
Using LinuxMint v17.1 Rebecca with MATE DE and LibreOffic v4.2.7.2 Build ID 420M0(Build2) I have a three column spreadsheet. Column A. Date - The dates are consecutive Column B. Production - The Production has a daily target of 10,000 units and each production period is of seven days. Column C. a formula every seventh cell. Is it possible to construct a formula which will show in the seventh cell of column C the average for the number of days of production i.e. if day 1 reaches a production of 10,000 units I want this figure entered into the seventh cell in column C. If days 1+2+3+4 total, say, 42,500 I want the seventh cell in column C to show the average of 10,265. In other words I want the average shown for the actual days of production each seven day period.

How I'd do it (it's from memory, so bear with me for little glitches): Thank you for the prompt reply and my apologies for the delay in replying to you. 1. Set up a Calc spreadsheet and enter a header (e.g.number) and the desired numbers (1 to 150 or even 001 to 150 by chosing a custom number format with two preceeding zeroes) into a column Did that without problems. 2. design a nice text page with all 4 tickets in it (you could also try going with labels but for just 4 tickts per page I'd rather go with copypaste instead of fumbling with labels) O.K. Although I did have some trouble grouping all elements. 3. assign the spreadsheet from #1 as data source (for later use as mailmerge, from memory: File New Database connect to existing spreadsheet) Perfect! 4. on your above designed ticket page, press F4 to open the spreadsheet from above as data source No problem. 5. enter (simply dragdrop) column header field into the appropriate place in stub and repeat this for the ticket Went without a hitch. 6. after every SECOND field enter next record switch (Insert field others database next record) but NOT after the fourth ticket (as a page break always triggers a next record switch) This is where I've gone wrong and I cannot figure out how. As I understood it, on the stub and ticket of tickets number 2, 3, 4, I do what you suggest above. Is that correct? and then, as it will be a new page, the numbering will continue in sequence until we reach the end of the records. Is that correct 7. Print as mailmerge (or form letter or whatever it's called) into 1 document I do this by Printing to file. The first ticket is correct. Tickets number 2, 3 and 4 are not numbered. It then goes to the next page where the first ticket is numbered 2 and the other three are not numbered. And so it goes on until the end of the records. Each page is the next number. I notice that when I have Next Record highlighted and click Insert, all that happens is a thin grey vertical line appears where I click. I would have thought the words next record would have appeared. Am I wrong? 8. review the document and if necessary correctrepeat some of the above steps I am at a loss as to what I should do next. 9. print the merged documents, 10. enter perforation (I use a sewing machine, works perfectly if you use a thin needle and adjust the step width appropriately) 11. cut tickets apart :-) Enjoy learning ;-) My enjoyment is leading to grinding of teeth in frustration David -- David Love A running mate is a husband who dared to talk back -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[libreoffice-users] Sequentially numberted tickets...
I have been asked to design and print numbered tickets for an event being organised by a Club to which my wife belongs. Starting from the left edge: (a) in the first third details of the event and a number. This is the stub (b) in the remaining two thirds there is an image to the left and then details of the event. This is the ticket (c) each ticket has two numbers (both the same) printed to justify right on the stub and on the ticket (d) each ticket spans the width of an A4 page (f) there are four tickets to an A4 page (g) the ticket will be perforated between the stub and the ticket to allow for easy detachment (h) Designing the ticket is not a problem. But how do I ensure that the numbers are printed sequentially in groups of two? Is it possible to do this on LibreOffice? I realise that it is possible to number each ticket on a A4 page and then print it but as it is looking like 150 tickets that looks like a lot of work.
