[libreoffice-users] Re: vlookup is hard to use

2010-12-12 Thread plino

This is a know limitation/feature of OpenOffice and now of LibreOffice.

In my opinion it should be modified to make it consistent with other
spreadsheets.

There is no easy way other than to type a high number (currently it can be
as high as 1048576) or to make it faster just type 1 followed by 6 zeros)

This is faster than selecting with the mouse (given the limitation that you
can't simply select a column or row)

 thanks for your answer.:)
 I tried your method ,but still face two problems
 1. I found the second parameter array can't be in other separably xls
 file.It works just in single file with different sheet.
 2. I settle the formulation on the cell,when I drag the cell to extend the
 formulation to other cells.I found the number of the cell in the
 function of vlookup is changing.This effect will affect the search scope
 of
 the sormulation and it's different from the same rule in the excel.
 Trying to use mouse to drag formulation become a hard way to handle the
 formuation,is there any other way to handle this kind of operate
 that use a single formulation in whole row or column?


 Use the $ to lock to a direct cell number.  A1 will change with either row
 or column as it is dragged.  $A$1 will keep the same no matter where it is
 dragged.  A1 is an indirect reference and $A$1 is a direct reference.
