[libreoffice-users] Identifying the correct row in Spreadsheet formulas

[Ian Whitfield]

Hi All

I have a spread sheet in LO 3.4.3 where I record and analyse monthly 
numbers and amounts for a electricity bill.

The figures for each month are all in one Row.

Below this I have "Allocation Blocks" that allocate the top figures to 
different sub-users.

Like this...

  A BC D
1   Jan   00   00   00  etc
2   Fed   00   00   00  etc
3   Mar   00   00   00  etc
4   Apr   00   00   00  .etc

_ANALYSIS FOR (Month)_

Name - Cell n + Cell n   (where the 'n' has to be the correct Month Row)
Name - Cell n + Cell n   (ie it increments by one for each month)
etc

I have simplified the above but this is the basic concept.

How can I modify the formula to pick-up the correct Row for the month I 
wish to do the analysis - and printout the report for? Is there a way to 
pick-up the 'Month' in the Analysis Block and use this to select the 
correct row?

(In Basic this would have been "If 'Month'=Jan then Row=1" etc etc

Hope you follow me. Thanks for any help.

Ian Whitfield.

Hi :)
Marcello, you can forward a message to break it into a new thread.  New people 
do not always instinctively know the convoluted nettiquette required in a

Thanks Marcello

I was/am under the impression that to start a New Thread you start with 
a brand new Subject line WITHOUT any "Re:' in front of it, but it seems 
that I'm wrong and for this I apologize.


I did do a search on Google as you suggested but found nothing that 
tells me HOW to start a new Thread. Only that it shouldn't be done.


I then looked in the 'TDF/LibreOffice Mailing List Netiquette' but again 
I find no instructions on HOW to start a new thread!!!


Maybe you could give me - and others - some pointers for this or direct 
us to a specific site where we can find the 'How To' information please.


I did learn in this search that I should use a "full" signature with my 
postings so I will start to do that from now on!!

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
Don't worry about using a full signature.  That really is not needed at all.  
You can start a new thread by writing a new email instead of replying to a 
previous one (or forwards an existing post) and just copy&paste or type the 
address
users@global.libreoffice.org
 into the "To" field.  

Many apologies for the "support" so far!  Hopefulyl someone might actually 
answer the question at some point!
Regards from
Tom :)

[libreoffice-users] help for add LO and other open source word to add to the dictionaries

[webmaster for Kracked Press Productions]

I am looking for help with adding words to the current word lists for my 
dictionary, that are part of the LO/OOo/open-source community.


I want to make sure that the words associated with this work is a part 
of the dictionaries I have for LO.


I realized that I did not look for these words before when I created my 
.oxt dictionary files.  I just looked and LibreOffice is not there.  
Other words and abbreviations need to be added, like FOSS, LO, OOo, ODF, 
and others that we use every day on these lists.  I am not looking for 
definations, just the words that need to be a part of the dictionaries.


I am not asking for common words like "dictionary", "baby", or "bath".  
I am asking for words that are part of our technical vocabulary that has 
developed over the past few years as the open-source movement became 
more popular.  I said "dictionary" since there are dictionary word lists 
out there that does not include it, for whatever reason.


I would like to do this off-list as much as possible.  I would like 
anyone who wants to help use my "webmaster at libreoffice-na.us" email 
address.


So what do you think?  would it be proper to have these words we use 
daily added to the dictionaries by default?  Since the dictionaries are 
part of the open-source movement, it should have the words associated 
with that movement included within its spelling word lists.

To start a new thread (or I could say to not hijack an existing thread)
just write an e-mail to users@global.libreoffice.org

Ps: sorry for not being able to help you on your question... I hope I've
been helpful in another way.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Identifying the correct row in Spreadsheet formulas

[David S. Crampton]

Ian,

The "If 'Month'=Jan then Row=1" relationship can be a VLOOKUP, MATCH and  
INDEX family of spreadsheet functions.  I have sometimes used the INDIRECT  
functions but these get very cumbersome and fragile.


This looks like it would be better done as a query in Base. I used  
combinations of spreadsheets, for the raw data, and databases for the  
monthly reporting in my budget/expense tracking work.

4   Apr   00   00   00  .etc

_ANALYSIS FOR (Month)_

Name - Cell n + Cell n   (where the 'n' has to be the correct Month Row)
Name - Cell n + Cell n   (ie it increments by one for each month)
etc

I have simplified the above but this is the basic concept.

How can I modify the formula to pick-up the correct Row for the month I  
wish to do the analysis - and printout the report for? Is there a way to  
pick-up the 'Month' in the Analysis Block and use this to select the  
correct row?

(In Basic this would have been "If 'Month'=Jan then Row=1" etc etc

Hope you follow me. Thanks for any help.

Hi Ian

I think a VLookup function might help. But I'm not sure I understood your
problem. Can you post a link to an example file?

[libreoffice-users] Re: border frames

[20rdj04]

Suddenly, all my documents have frames around them.  I must assume that the
frames come from LO's new version  3.3.4 (or whatever).  I like my pages to
be clean, not with a lot of distractions.  CAN I turn off/remove the frames? 
I have already attempted to change the color to white so they would fade
away :(  Thanks.

The new answer format STINKS!!  It looks like every person is saying
virtually the same thing.  And I am not ready to open all the letters, to
find one that is different!  Especially if you have a hundred, a thousand or
more.

I would take a look at MATCH(). You can use Ctrl+F2 to experiment with
different functions in a more graphical way. After selecting a
function, you can click Help for more information about that function.

I.m guessing that you are referring to borders and I'm also guessing 
that the borders are around your pages. If so, turn them off with 
format>page and the Borders tab. Now ask yourself how/why you turned 
them on in the first place so as to avoid a repeat.


Hint. If they have appeared on multiple documents it is likely that the 
border formatting is applied via a page style that you commonly use.


If my guesswork is invalid, try a more explicit description of your problem.

[libreoffice-users] Slow startup time

[David Woodfall]

I've noticed a very slow startup time. I'm using 3.4.4 and I found
this post that suggests that somehow LO is trying to do something with
the network up, and turning off networking speeds it up:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/22693

I've tried this and it is indeed the case. Can someone explaing what
LO is trying to when there's an interface up? And also how to fix it?

I know about quick starter so please don't suggest that. This IMO is a
bug.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave,

This solved the issue for me. I had problems with 3.3.0, and did this 
back then, and do it with every new install I do:


*Change hosts setting in hosts file for LibreOffice:*
In terminal, do gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
You will see the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 galaxy

Add a line so it looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 galaxy
127.0.0.1 galaxy localhost galaxy.(none)
5) save
6) now OpenOffice.org Writer and Calc open fast when the network 
connection is attached.


For anyone new reading this. replace "galaxy" with whatever you have 
named your computer.


Basics above are fromhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9410791

This does indeed work for a blank calc sheet, but opening a file on
the command line is still very slow. It's actually faster to open the
office main app, enable quickstarter, close office main app, load the
file. (Or just load it from the normal file list.)

[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5.0 Beta/ revised files won't save normally

[Stephen Anderson]

Hi all:
* I recently saw that LO 3.5.0 beta was available, and installed it.
* I noticed that the installation notes on FileHippo (
http://www.filehippo.com/download_libreoffice/changelog/) included the
following unusual items:
   - With this Beta, you have to use the 'parallel installation' to install
it alongside the stable LibreOffice, and not replace it.
   - Unopkg.bin crashes during install (may prevent installation on
Windows7 and up).
   - Applications open a console window.
* OK so far.  "Unopkg.bin" did crash during install, and the program does
open an MS-DOS type window.
* I had LO 3.4.4 installed previously, and did not uninstall it prior to
installing 3.5.0 beta.
* Here's my problem.  Let's say I open an existing .odt or .ods file on my
external hard drive (F:), revise it, and then try to save (Ctrl+S) the
revised version.
* A box appears:  "Error saving the document Internet address:  Access to
F:\[name of folder]\[name of subfolder]\[name of odt or ods file] was
denied."  ("OK" button shown).
* If I click the "OK" button once, I hear an alarm sound that means "you've
done something wrong".
* If I click the button a second time, a new box appears:  "Error saving
the document Internet address:  General Error.  General input/output
error."  ("OK" button shown).
* If I click the "OK" button, the box disappears, and the file remains on
the screen.
* If I then choose "Save as" (Ctrl+Shift+S) rather than "Save", and choose
a different destination folder or a different file name, a box appears:
 "The file has been changed since it was opened for editing in LibreOffice.
 Saving your version of the document will overwrite changes made by others.
 Do you want to save anyway?"  ("Save Anyway" and "Cancel" boxes shown).
* If I click "Save Anyway", the revised file does indeed save in its new
location or new name.
* But this is obviously not convenient.  I want to save the revised file in
its original location and name, as per normal.
* Any suggestions for overcoming this?
* I realize that this is a Beta, and that a stable version will come along
in due course to replace it, but still ...

Thanks,

Which isn't so? Opening from the command line or opening via the gui?

Re: [libreoffice-users] help for add LO and other open source word to add to the dictionaries

[webmaster for Kracked Press Productions]

Well, if we do not add the abbreviations, then it will not show as a 
valid one.  There are abbreviations in many spell checking 
dictionaries.  I think it would be good to have the most popular tech 
ones we use in our lexicon within the open-source community.  Also, we 
use LO as the "proper" abbreviation for LibreOffice.  Same as FOSS and 
other abbreviations we use in our lexicon.


Do you really want FOSS, and other abbreviation like that missing, for a 
spell checking dictionary that is part of that community?

I want to make sure that the words associated with this work is a part of

I realized that I did not look for these words before when I created my
.oxt dictionary files.  I just looked and LibreOffice is not there.  Other
words and abbreviations need to be added, like FOSS, LO, OOo, ODF, and
others that we use every day on these lists.  I am not looking for
definations, just the words that need to be a part of the dictionaries.

I am not asking for common words like "dictionary", "baby", or "bath".  I
am asking for words that are part of our technical vocabulary that has
developed over the past few years as the open-source movement became more
popular.  I said "dictionary" since there are dictionary word lists out
there that does not include it, for whatever reason.

I would like to do this off-list as much as possible.  I would like anyone
who wants to help use my "webmaster at libreoffice-na.us" email address.

So what do you think?  would it be proper to have these words we use daily
added to the dictionaries by default?  Since the dictionaries are part of
the open-source movement, it should have the words associated with that
movement included within its spelling word lists.

Hi Dave,

This solved the issue for me. I had problems with 3.3.0, and did this 
back then, and do it with every new install I do:


*Change hosts setting in hosts file for LibreOffice:*
In terminal, do gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
You will see the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 galaxy

Add a line so it looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 galaxy
127.0.0.1 galaxy localhost galaxy.(none)
5) save
6) now OpenOffice.org Writer and Calc open fast when the network 
connection is attached.


This does indeed work for a blank calc sheet, but opening a file on
the command line is still very slow. It's actually faster to open the
office main app, enable quickstarter, close office main app, load the
file. (Or just load it from the normal file list.)



Hi Dave,

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 now. Back when I did what I described above I 
was most likely using Ubuntu 10.10, I don't think 11.04 was out yet. My 
problem was that the first time I would open any of the LibreOffice 
suite of programs, the first one would open quite slowly. After one 
would open, everything was fine after that. I never had an issue with 
any files opening slowly.


Don

What distro are you using? Most of the people here install from 
repositories for Linux or installation packages for Mac and Windows and 
are not very familiar with compiling from source code. A quick search 
did not come up with any obvious answer to me.


You may want to check with the devs list since they are installing 
testing builds while most on this list are using supported releases.


I installed LO from the repository; checking my /usr/included and cups.h 
is not there (Ubuntu 11.10 family/Mint 12).

IMHO it looks like you need a fax driver installed. I would check with 
the Ubuntu repository, probably using Synaptic to find a driver. Also, I 
would check the Ubuntu documentation on installing a fax driver.


Alternately, you could try installing your fax card as "printer" using 
Printers in the System Settings. I would not be surprised if you had to 
manually select a driver for the fax card.

Running a couple distros, same problem on both. Bodhi and Ubuntu. I am
trying to compile from source because I am tracking down a bug in order to
fix it but can't take this step if I can't compile. I'm actually compiling
an older version (2.1.0) to try to get to the cause of the problem. Any
advice would be appreciated.

Interesting you should bring this up... I use efax-gtk (Ubuntu 10.10)
and that works well with an old PCI fax modem. However I've not figured
out (yet) how to get it set up properly as a "printer" so that LO can
use it. In addition to your link, I've also found these as well:



[Faxing with efax-gtk with OO 2.0?]

[[SOLVED] efax virtual printer]


This one seems to work, but efax-gtk keeps crashing on me every time I
attempt to send one of the queue faxes:

Got it working using the above.

Hi Dave,

This solved the issue for me. I had problems with 3.3.0, and did
this back then, and do it with every new install I do:

*Change hosts setting in hosts file for LibreOffice:*
In terminal, do gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
You will see the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 galaxy

Add a line so it looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 galaxy
127.0.0.1 galaxy localhost galaxy.(none)
5) save
6) now OpenOffice.org Writer and Calc open fast when the network
connection is attached.


This does indeed work for a blank calc sheet, but opening a file on
the command line is still very slow. It's actually faster to open the
office main app, enable quickstarter, close office main app, load the
file. (Or just load it from the normal file list.)


Actually I tested this again and it isn't so.



Which isn't so? Opening from the command line or opening via the gui?


Opening from command line is very slow

[libreoffice-users] Selecting records in base to a CSV

[Scott Jones]

I am trying to select records in Base to a CSV.

I have tried this statement and it works:

SELECT *
INTO [Text;HDR=NO;Format=CSVDelimited;DATABASE=C:\].MyTable.CSV
FROM `License Survey Response Code Table (Public)`;

But that is all records.  I want a subset using a LIKE statement.  I've tried:

SELECT * FROM "License Survey Response Code Table (Public)"
WHERE "Survey Response Code" LIKE '04%')
INTO [Text;HDR=NO;Format=CSVDelimited;DATABASE=C:\].MyTable.CSV;

No Luck.  Is my syntax wrong?

The normal syntax is

SELECT selectlist
INTO file or more often a table
FROM   database
WHERE selection criteria

I would definitely ask the devs either on their mailing on their IRC 
channel. IMHO you are doing something they would very interested in and 
possibly give you more help. I am interested in the results, fixing bugs 
is important but like many on this list I would only give you minimal help.

  What distro are you using? Most of the people here install from

repositories for Linux or installation packages for Mac and Windows and are
not very familiar with compiling from source code. A quick search did not
come up with any obvious answer to me.

You may want to check with the devs list since they are installing testing
builds while most on this list are using supported releases.

I installed LO from the repository; checking my /usr/included and cups.h
is not there (Ubuntu 11.10 family/Mint 12).
