[libreoffice-users] Re: Mail Merge Crashes
Hi :) Could this be a java issue? Which version of java are you using? Tools - Options - Java It is possible to have more than 1 version of java installed alongside each other. Version 6u21 seems to be the best one for LibreOffice but web-browsers and things need the most recent version you can reasonably get. So, having 2 versions makes sense. It might well be soem other problem with mail-merge tho.

[libreoffice-users] Mail Merge Crashes
Hi, I'm running LibreOffice 3.4.4 on openSuse 11.3 (x86_64). I've created a docmument that I want to use for Mail Merging & have a connected to the database. If I use the Mail Merge tool, in preview I can see all the correct entries. However when I try to save or print the document, LibreOffice crashes and there is no error message displayed. On restarting, the document is intact, so I've not lost anything. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong/how I can fix this ?

Replace with this for your first chart $'Dec 2011'.$A$18:$B$41;$'Dec 2011'.$B$3:$B$4;$'Dec 2011'.$H$3:$H$4;$'Dec 2011'.$H$18:$H$41 The problem is that you need to redefine the Range for Name in the Data Series tab. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Re-Changing-data-on-a-chart-tp3572779p3577223.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@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

Re: [libreoffice-users] Changing data on a chart
Hi John, I'm aware my answer was a little short, sorry. I've spent most of my time writing databases rather than using LO, which means I don't know about putting a chart on a base document, however the easy way (I'd guess) is to set up a spreadsheet that asks for and pulls the data required, and then you're back into familiar territory. Sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine, using a spreadsheet as a database. Don't mind me, just getting grumpy :-( Mark Stanton One small step for mankind... -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@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] Re: [SOLVED] Identifying the correct row in Spreadsheet formulas
Hi All Thanks for all the help offered by the Group - It's very much appreciated!! And with this help - although I never got an exact answer - I have been able to solve it!! Basically my question could be broken down into three parts 1) How do I work out what ROW NUMBER a given unique value is on? 2) How do I use this ROW NUMBER to make-up a valid CELL ADDRESS? 3) How do I get the VALUE in that CELL ADDRESS? After a lot of trial and error - and with the pointers given to me by the Group I was able to 'crack' it!! 1) For the ROW NUMBER I used MATCH. At first this did not give me what I wanted as MATCH returns the ROW COUNT within a specified Array and NOT the actual ROW NUMBER! Then it occurred to me that if I make the Array the whole portion of the spreadsheet where the numbers are, starting at Row 1, and not just there actual position of the values I wanted to check in then the ROW COUNT returned by MATCH would in fact be the actual ROW NUMBER!! Problem solved, so "=MATCH(Unique Number,Array)" Where - 'Unique Number' is a value I put in a fixed cell so I use this Cell address and the 'Array' is the whole section of the Spreadsheet where these numbers are, (ie I have the numbers 1 to 12 in positions A7 to A18 so for the Array I specify *A1*:A18 so that the ROW COUNT matches the ROW NUMBER). 2) For the CELL ADDRESS I have a cell that identifies each COLUMN that these values resides in (ie all my TOTALS are in COLUMN H), and I now have the ROW COUNT of the data I'm looking for. So I can use "=COLUMN ID & fixed ROW NUMBER" 3) The last step is to get the VALUE that is in the Cell at that location. For this I used "=INDIRECT (CELL ADDRESS)" Perfect - PROBLEM SOLVED!! I can now change ONE VALUE in a cell (ie this month I'm working with December figures so I enter "12" into the cell), and ALL my values change automatically for that month. No more endless Cutting and Pasting!! Thanks again guys - I hope this explanation will be of interest to you and maybe of use to other users trying to automate yearly figures to do monthly analysis.
