The column headers are seen as field names and the other rows as records.

Merci, Jean-Francois!

What's the difference between this kind of named range and the one you
get by doing

Data > Define Range

in step 2?

Thanks for the pointer, but... well, I didn't find any MOYENNE.SI() (or
equivalent) in my FR version 4.1.4.2 Statistics functions. Thus my
suggestion to simulate one :,(

Hu? Yes, there is, but classified in the Math functions, while AVERAGE()
[MOYENNE() in FR] is classified in Statistics :,(

Thanks for the heads up.

From now on, using the array in a formula is equivalent to the absolute
reference to this array.

EG: you select A1:B2 and name it "my_array"
You may write formulae using the $A$1:$B$2 or the my_array syntax (note
that you must not use quotes when dealing with array names in formulae).
That is:
=SUM($A$1:$B$2)
or
=SUM(my_array)
give the same result

Re: [libreoffice-users] averaging with missing values

Hi William,

william drescher schrieb:

I have a table of systolic bloop pressures: 4 rows (weeks) x 21 cols
(days) eg:

week 1 130 133 140 ... (representing morning, noon, night of day 1 -

I want to compute the average pressure for the week.  In a perfect world
I would just use the average function.
However, in this world I find that each row has between 3 and 10 missing
values.  To get the average now I sum the row's values and then divide
by the number of values in the row.

Can anyone suggest a way of getting the average without needing to
manually count the values ?


If the cells are really empty or have a function call that results in a 
text, then such cells will not be counted by the AVERAGE function. If 
the cells contain a formula, which results in 0, then you can use 
AVERAGEIF(range;"<>0").


Kind regards
Regina

Thanks for this idea, below.  I'd never thought of naming an array, and 
you are right, it would seem to make both generating AND understanding 
formulae easier.  Plus there's less room for error. In my case I 
frequently use the same array for a variety of vlookups, so the added 
step of naming could end up saving me some time as well.

Another way of achieving that is to name the array. This has my
preference because a named array makes formulae easier to understand.

Create your own "averageif()" function with a formula:

SUMIF() / COUNTIF()

[libreoffice-users] Mail Merge Wizard fails in 4.2.0

2014-02-15 Thread Alex McMurchy
Has anyone else had a problem with the MailMerge Wizard in 4.2.0?

In release 4.1.4 and all previous releases it produced the merged data.

In release 4.2.0 it gives every indication that it is doing the business by 
stepping, the correct number of times, through the records in the selected 
address list. It produces the correct number of pages. Each page has the 
address block in it. However, each address block is empty. I've tested this on 
Slackware 14.1 and Windows XP.

Has anyone else seen this. If so do you know if a bug has been created for 
this. I've searched bugzilla and not found anything.

Alex
