Not to my knowledge.  I really doubt it. If you want a single print maybe you could add Sheet 3 and set up formulas to pull data from 1 & 2, then print only 3? On 9/18/25 09:02, Craig Lister wrote: Consider the following sheets that are within the same Calc file- Sheet 1 Sheet 2 Can Sheet 2

Better Solution?  Use REGEX to strip all characters except numbers and period. To make relatively bullet-proof and not show errors it's probably best implemented in 2 cells. My Example:     Cell E61:  =REGEX(C61, "[^0-9.]", "", "g")     Cell F61:  =IF(E61<>"", VALUE(E61), 0) Could be wrapped

The "issue" is visible / replicate-able on my computer. Your problem is your input parameter, you have:  =ISNUMBER(A1:C1) A1:C1 references a RANGE, but the ISNUMBER function expects a VALUE, or a single cell reference. If I enter =A1:C1 in any cell in columns A-C it shows TRUE, but by cleari

Sorry, error in prior reply.  I meant you can format to display 0 decimals (or 2 decimals).  You need a Cell Style for each format. On 4/15/25 18:48, Java Joe wrote: It will not actually truncate the values to 0 decimals, but you should be able to format them to display only 2 decimals

I think you can do what you need with Conditional Formatting. It will not actually truncate the values to 0 decimals, but you should be able to format them to display only 2 decimals. You need to create a named Cell Format for each display type, then use Conditional Formatting to set the desi

Why doesn't searching within the spreadsheet work for you? The Find bar (Ctrl+F) only works on the current sheet, but if you use the Find & Replace dialog (Ctrl+H) there is an option for "All Sheets" that allows you to search across the entire file. And yes, you can use Find & Replace to find som

I have not tested, but would suspect it is evaluating the length of the formula rather then the length of the content the formula produces. If your data source is a query it should be possible to produce the string you want in the query, then just reference the field instead of using a formula.
