Re: [libreoffice-users] Conditional hide rows in Calc?

Thanks, Simon, Brian - I'm an infrequent spreadsheet-user and just didn't
think about filters. These approaches work fine!   -- Wayne

[libreoffice-users] Conditional hide rows in Calc?

2011-07-17 Thread Wayne Stidolph
I have a variable numbers of data elements for each day, and I'd like to
hide all but the last of each day (or export only the last-of-day values);
is there an easy way?

Example data:
row | date | reading number | value | ...
1 | 7/1/2011 | 1 | 3
2 | 7/2/2011 | 1 | 6
3 | 7/2/2011 | 2 | 7
4 | 7/2/2011 | 3 | 5
5 | 7/4/2011 | 1 | 4
6 | 7/5/2011 | 1 | 5
7 | 7/5/2011 | 2 | 6

So I'd like to extract:
1 | 7/1/2011 | 1 | 3


4 | 7/2/2011 | 3 | 5
5 | 7/4/2011 | 1 | 4

7 | 7/5/2011 | 2 | 6

Is there a way to use conditional formatting to hide a row, based on a test
of the reading number of the current row compared to the reading number of
the next row?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: General input/output error when saving to network drive

2011-06-17 Thread Wayne Stidolph
I see the same "General-on save/nothing on open" behavior with LO3.4
trying to directly read/write to a Synology NAS:

* Fedora 14 64-bit, wired connection
* Fedora 15 32-bit, wireless connection

Double-clicking on the remote ODT file from Nautilous works - the doc
opens in LO. And, changing the doc so opened and saving it from inside
LO works fine - the doc on the NAS is updated (and verified by opening
it from the other machine).

Re: [libreoffice-users] Impress leads to system log out

2011-06-13 Thread Wayne Stidolph
This happened to me yesterday; I switched to fullscreen in Draw (but
Impress was also open, as I recall) and was logged out (back to the
login prompt). I was using LO 3.4 on gnome 2, Fedora 14 x86_64, with
the kmod-nvidia drivers on a Nvidia 8600 chip. It wasn't repeatable,
though - I reopened the same stuff (after Recovery) and everything was
fine. -- Wayne

[libreoffice-users] Any way to "keep with previous" in Writer?

2011-06-08 Thread Wayne Stidolph
I want to "Keep with previous" rather than "keep with next" (for my
beginning-of-list styles). I can see from searching that it's been
discussed and bugs opened and such, for quite a while, but I don't
think anything has come of it yet ... I wonder if anyone has worked
out a way to do that, or is it just a manual thing to do - go through
and apply Keep With Next, take it off where it no longer applies, etc.
