Believe ABS returns absolute value of just a number or cell, got 
errors when I tried a range.

Did a test that seems to work.
Put number in B2 to G2
1 2 3 -1 -2 -3

=(SUMIF(B2:G2,">=0")-SUMIF(B2:G2,"<0"))/COUNT(B2:G2)

It sums up all the positive number and zeros, and then 
subtracts the sum of all the negative number) that is 
then divided by count. In this case sums were 6 and -6 
resulting in 12, and then dividing by 6 result was 2.

Think it would work using range across sheets?
Don't know if any cells might contain blanks, so might 
just want to hard code number to divide?

[libreoffice-users] Function acting on range

2023-03-15 Thread Steve Edmonds
Hi, on the off chance I will be pleasantly surprised, can a function act 
on a range.


i.e can I do something like =AVERAGE(ABS($Sheet1.B28:$Sheet19.B28)) to 
average the absolute value of the numbers in the range.
The above seems to return only the last value of the range. I can 
achieve this with an intermediate column on every sheet.

[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 7.3.7.2

2023-03-15 Thread Stephanos

Dear All

I use Kubuntu 22.04.2 LTS.  The version of Libre Office that auto 
installed with Kubuntu 22.04.2 LTS and LibreOffice 7.3.7.2 that I 
installed manually, have the same problem: No spell checking takes place.


I looked around at some setting and can report as follows:
Tool > Spelling > Text Language shows no entry and the drop down at the 
end says 'None'.


Tools > Options > Languages shows:
'User Interface [Default - English USA]'
'Locale settings [English (UK)]'
'Default language for documents Western [Default - English UK]'

I am at a loss to know what to do

Any help appreciated

Best wishes

Re: [libreoffice-users] Office doesn't handle its own graphics?

2023-03-15 Thread V Stuart Foote
Further to Robert's response. You can also OLE object insert an ODF 
drawing document .ODG (main menu Insert -> OLE Object -> OLE Object...).


But will need to select the 'Create from file' radio button on the 
dialog. Will have to adjust the resulting OLE frame to your needs.
You can also choose to link to the OLE object (allowing changes to the 
original to update the insertion on its next edit session).


It is functional, but it is usually much more efficient to export from 
Draw in a raster or vector format, and then insert that image cleanly.

[libreoffice-users] PDF Creation

2023-03-15 Thread Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC)

Hi,

Running LO 7.4.5.1 and am endeavouring to create a fillable PDF form 
using Writer. The file will be viewed using the free Adobe Reader software.


What I am battling with is the document saving the remote text that is 
entered so that when it is sent back to me via email as an attachment, 
whether the email sending be in Text or HTML, that the written text is 
not deleted.


Each time I open the PDF form on my side to view it and then close it, 
Adobe Reader always asks if I want to save changes, despite no changes 
being made.


I am endeavouring to find out from my remote users filling out the form 
but I wondered if there was a form control or other that needed to be 
set to save the inserted text on the form onto the form so that it and 
the saved text can be emailed.


What am I missing?

Regards
Hylton

Re: [libreoffice-users] Office doesn't handle its own graphics?

2023-03-15 Thread Robert Großkopf

Hi Gavin,


I'm creating a document in Writer, and wanted to include some graphics from
Draw. But you can't insert a Draw file. Draw files are filtered out of the
file dialog by default; and if you enable "all files" and select one, you
get an error message.


A draw document could contain many pages. On every page will be 
shapes/images. So a *.odg-document couldn't be imported as image to a 
*.odt-document.


Mark the shape/image you want to import. Drag and drop it to Writer.
Or: Export the marked content as *.wmf. So you could import this image 
by the import dialog of Writer.


Regards

Robert
