[users] Calc question on page/section breaks.?

I have a Calc 2.4 spreadsheet set of accounts which needs to print out in landscape mode to fit on one page. Below the set of accounts I have a "key" which is a 2-column list of what the codes and abbreviations stand for, which will also fit on one page (page2) if printed in portrait format.

[users] Calc question: sets of non-contiguous cells

2005-09-09 Thread Stephen R. Darragh
Hi all - I'd like to know how (or if it's indeed possible) to use a set of non-contiguous cells in a function like LARGE(). For example, in Excel I can use LARGE((A1,A2,A3), 1) but the equivalent in OpenOffice (1.9.125) LARGE((A1; A2; A3); 1) gives a 508 (mis-matched pair) error. -- Steph

Sorry, bad example from me. I meant something like (A1; T2; X4) Non-contiguous. Excel allows this in a notation like above. So not a range of cells. G. Roderick Singleton wrote: On Sat, 2005-09-10 at 09:57 +0800, Stephen R. Darragh wrote: Hi all - I'd like to know how (or if it's indeed

The simple answer is no. Calc's LARGE function works with a single range of cells rather than a non-continuous group of cells. Dan On Friday 09 September 2005 09:29 pm, Stephen R. Darragh wrote: > Sorry, bad example from me. > > I meant something like (A1; T2; X4) > > Non-contiguous. Excel allo
