[libreoffice-users] I need help with functions in Base

2015-03-18 Thread xavier2
Hello I'm starting with queries and functions. Right now I know how to tackle
queries, but I don't know very well how may I use functions on queries. I
would like to master all functions, so I need examples with functions. The
problem is I don't know where may I find help with this? *I'd like to see
samples about these functions*:

Average, Count, Maximum, Minimum, Sum, Every, Any, Some, STDDEV_POP,
STDDEV_SAMP, VAR_SAMP, VAR_POP, Collect, Fusion, Intersection, Group

Sadly I don't have seen any documentation from LibreOffice explaining every
function with a sample. Please, could someone give me some examples for
these functions? I'd like to see them working and what everyone do.
Cheers

The availlable functions depend on the type database you are connected
to. The bare minimum of functions in the file based databsaes
(spreadsheet, text, dBase) is documented here:
 http://www.openoffice.org/dba/specifications/file_based_functions.html

File based databases support only one aggregation COUNT(*)

The built-in HSQL 1.8 (which should better not be used embedded into the
Base document) is documented here:
 http://www.hsqldb.org/doc/1.8/guide/ch09.html

Any resource on SQL can teach you how to use all these functions
properly, particularly the aggregation funcions together with GROUP.

 Hi Andreas, thanks for the amazing info you gave me.
 Well, I was not meaning to SQL, because what I want to do right now are
 queries using the gird, the queries window.

The grid (do you mean the design view?) creates an SQL statement as
you can see when you toggle between the design view and SQL view. There
is a toggle option in the menu and on the toolbar. The query designer
does a very bad job. It is almost useless because it can only produce
baby-SQL. Within a weekend you learn much more SQL than that tool will
ever be able to handle. I can demonstrate lots of working queries that
are messed up completely once you load them into the design view.

 I wanted some examples of this, with already created queries.
 Exactly the last link you gave me...
 https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=83t=26328

On the linked forum you find dozends of example files with all kinds of
calculations.

 However, I need a bit more:
 I would need help to understand these functions:
 *STDDEV_POP, STDDEV_SAMP, VAR_SAMP, VAR_POP, Collect, Fusion, Intersection*

STDEV is the standard deviation, VAR stands for VARIATION, POP for a
full population, STDDEV for a sample, I don't know about Collect, Fusion
and Intersection. You might find them in SQL tutorials.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Business Cards - Printing - Libre Writer version 4.3.5.2

2015-03-18 Thread John R. Sowden
There is a program called gLabels.  I use it to create mailing labels. 
Re: business cards, I would avoid laser, as business cards are usually 
stacked together, so they rub.  They will wear off the laser toner.  Ink 
is soaked into the paper so it won't come off. That would interfere with 
the image that you are trying to create.

Hi Folks,

I’ve never printed business cards using Libre Writer and it didn’t go
well using the Avery online template.

I have blank sheets of cardstock (bought at Office Depot) to print my
own business cards with logo - one sided only.

There’s 10 business cards on each sheet of cardstock - 2 across and 5 down.

Each card is 2 inches by 3.5 inches.

Is there some kind of a template in Libre Writer for business card printing?

I’ll bet you can do it by using tables or charts but that’s way past
my expertise.

Thanks so much!

Charles.



Hi,

menu:FileNewBusiness Cards...
Fill out that dialog and LibreOffice will generate a page with separate
frames representing the space of one card.

---

If you want to use one of the downloadable templates from various sites,
these have basically one table without borders. Each cell represents the
space of a business card. Right-click and check Table Boundaries to
make the cells visible on screen but not on the print out. Now you can
edit a single table cell to your liking, copy the cell content and paste
into each cell.

Hope this helps

Hi Frank,

That’s interesting and useful but this is a dynamic document.  Tables may have  
to be changed frequently without deleting content.

Thanks for the reply,

Could you give me an .odb file with some queries, showing examples for these
