Is it possible to link two Sheets in a Calc spreadsheet to two
external CSV files?
[SNIP]
Is there a way to do this?
Yes. Use Insert | Sheet from File..., browse to the .csv file, and
tick the Link box in the Insert Sheet dialogue. You'll want two
sheets linked to your two data files and a third sheet (probably in
front) in which to perform the comparison.
I trust this helps.
I think it does. I'll try it when I get back to that machine tomorrow.
Let me double check one thing. If I use Insert | Sheet from File as
you suggest, then is this spreadsheet updated with new data from the
file anytime this spreadsheet is opened?
Er, yes. If not, it wouldn't help with your problem!
When you open the spreadsheet, you will see a dialogue asking if
links to other files should be updated. If you wish to perform the
update with the spreadsheet open, you can go to File | Reload (after
saving any changes to the spreadsheet, of course) - which will
stimulate the same dialogue.
