Been doing a lot of googling, but finding lots of stuff, but nothing that works? Have done a lot of versions and this is the latest one. The record process does not allow for the use of the F2 key, so as is, it results in the original args1(0).Value being in the cell? After the macro ends, I've found that if I manually press F2 then a space and enter it puts the formula as I originally wanted? F2 and enter does nothing?? I've also found that if I manually do F2 F9 Enter Enter, it will place just the final text result in cell.
Seems there use to be a Keypress option, that would allow for simulating keys, but that has been deprecated? Also, found pages that talk about API stuff to modify cells, but the two I tried did nothing? Am I missing something?? Note: In string I replaced the original "s with _ because it kept giving me messages about unbalanced ()?? That got rid of the errors, and then just converted them back? Not and important macro, but was just hoping to find a way to make it work the way I originally planned. Just playing around with stuff. Thanks. Perhaps I am overlooking something very simple.. sub Z1 rem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rem define variables dim document as object dim dispatcher as object rem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rem get access to the document document = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper") rem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dim sText sText = InputBox ("Please enter Date Cells Example D2,D1:") rem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dim args1(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue args1(0).Name = "StringName" args1(0).Value = "=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(""=IF(DATEDIF(A2,A1,_y_),IF(DATEDIF(A2, A1,_y_)=1,_1 Year _,DATEDIF(A2,A1,_y_)&_ Years _),__)&IF(MOD(DATEDIF(A2,A1,_m_),12),IF(MOD(DATEDIF(A2,A1,_m_),1 2)=1,_1 Month _,MOD(DATEDIF(A2,A1,_m_),12)&_ Months _),__)&IF(DATEDIF(A2,A1,_md_),IF(DATEDIF(A2,A1,_md_)=1,_1 Day _,DATEDIF(A2,A1,_md_)&_ Days_),__)"",""A2,A1""," & chr$(34) & sText & chr$(34) & "),""_"",CHAR(34))" dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:EnterString", "", 0, args1()) rem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:Copy", "", 0, Array()) rem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- REM Cut contents of cell to avoid the overwrite message dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:Cut", "", 0, Array()) rem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dim args2(5) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue args2(0).Name = "Flags" args2(0).Value = "SVD" args2(1).Name = "FormulaCommand" args2(1).Value = 0 args2(2).Name = "SkipEmptyCells" args2(2).Value = false args2(3).Name = "Transpose" args2(3).Value = false args2(4).Name = "AsLink" args2(4).Value = false args2(5).Name = "MoveMode" args2(5).Value = 4 dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:InsertContents", "", 0, args2()) msgbox ("To complete process,"+chr$(13)+" Formula Press F2 then Space then Enter" + chr$(13)+"For Text Result Press F2 then F9 then Enter then Enter") end sub +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
