This list is just users helping other users.

On your .ods file, I can find that function. You can? That's great. Doesn't the mean that the problem is solved? I just wonder how you could find it in the ods file. Shouldn't you rather look in the Apache OpenOffice Calc application? > I don't have Word or > Excel on my PC now. Lucky guy. I have both on my job computer and I hate both. I miss that function.

Thank you. > Okay, jokes aside, can you please better describe what that ”function” actually did? I don't really understand what ”add certain lines to a total” means. Certain lines? To a total? How? Can you give a simple example? What is the function called in Excel? I'm sure that if the function doesn't exist in Calc, it's possible to make one with a macro, but I can't tell how complicated that would be unless I have more information.

Go to the home page of the website; http://www.openoffice.org/ and right there in the middle of the page there is a link that reads: "I need help with my OpenOffice.

You say "I can find that function.", but it sounds like you mean that you cannot find the equivalent function in Calc. Can you recall what the function might be called in Excel? A function to "add certain lines to a total" doesn't give us much to go on, so can you provide a more detailed description of how the function worked, or outline the steps you took when using that function?

please help
This will be the fourth try at attempting to contact you. You don't make it easy. The following is my original message. I used to use Word up until about 10 years ago when somebody suggested Open Office to me. I much prefer this to Word. I do have one issue though. I used Excel a lot. They had a function where I could add certain lines to a total. On your .ods file, I can find that function. I don't have Word or Excel on my PC now. I miss that function. I have Open Office version 4.1.6. Does that have the function I want? I've checked all the options at the top and can't find that function. Am I just missing seeing it? Please help because I miss that function. Thank you.
