Do Y and Z stay the same and just x varies (as input).


For this one graph, yes. I'd probably also want to make other graphs 
with Y and Z varying.


How many input values of x would you want process and display in 
one chart.


Between 5 and 15. But more would be better, to be honest, and hence 
the desire to parametrise, rather than to hack this up with macros, 
or using copy-paste.

Hi Martin.
It may be possible to obtain an acceptable chart using the Bar-3D -Deep
type and suitably preparing your data.
I don't know about turning a sheet into a formula, but you could create
a macro to generate your output series.

[libreoffice-users] Parametrising sheets

2020-02-17 Thread martin f krafft
Hello folks,

I have an elaborate sheet that essentially takes 3 different values 
as input, and outputs two data series, which I can use to produce a 
bar chart like so:

```
|
| _
|| |   _
|_   | | _| |
|  _| |  | || | |
| | | |  | |_   | | |
| | | |  | | |  | | |
-
```

Obviously, there'll be a single formula that produces each data 
point, but it'll be very complex, as the sheet currently derives the 
data in multiple steps.

What I need to do now is to graph multiple of those graphs in one. 
That is, I want a 3D bar graph with the first series equivalent to 
what the sheet would produce with "input" parameters (X1, Y, Z), the 
second series corresponding to "input" parameters (X2, Y, Z), and so 
on.

Is this possible? Without duplicating the sheets, of course? 
Essentially turn a sheet into a function/formula that I can "call"?

Thanks for any hints,

[libreoffice-users] Search results box in Calc

2020-02-17 Thread Philip Jackson

Using LO 6.0.7.3 in up-to-date UbuntuStudio 1804 LTS

In any spreadsheet, when I use Ctrl-F and type in a search string, the Search 
Results dialog box displays results in 3 columns : Sheet, Cell, Content. This 
display has two annoying characteristics that I have not been able to change :

1. the whole box is too small so the the entire Contents column cannot be read. 
Certainly, there is a slider at the bottom and the whole box size can be 
dragged larger. But since there is no real-estate width limitations on the 
screen, it would be good to have the box appear wider by default.

2. the Cell column is too narrow by default to display more than 5 characters 
and I have to drag it larger every time. For example it displays $C$15  instead 
of $C$150.

It would be good if the default display settings could be modified to provide a 
larger width to the Cell column and a larger overall dialogue box size.

Can anybody explain where I might be able to modify some settings to achieve 
this result?

Philip
