Hi,
Using OpenOffice (Sheet) I am trying to copy a grid (14 columns x 13
rows) of information from an Excel (Mac) spreadsheet and Paste Special
(just the values) into another Excel(Mac) spreadsheet. The data
includes calculated results, dates, text strings.
I want to Paste Special in Sheet, so I can remove any dependence on
the original data, but I want to keep the formatting and results of
calculations. However the only way that I seem able to do it is by
having to check-box the Link option which gives me dependence of which
I sought to rid myself!
Sort will not work on any selection within this pasted data. How can I
sort?
For now I have had to do my Paste Special inside an Excel document,
save that document, then open it in OO and because Sheet is then
seeing and working with unreferenced (raw) data is will sort in the ay
that I want it to.
I don't know if these are Mac-specific problems, I am using a new
MacBook (Intel Core Duo) 10.4.8 with OOo_2.0.4_MacOSXIntel_install.dmg
under X11.
The way it should work is with Paste-Special, de-select "Paste All" and
select everything below it except Formulae (? Formulae ¿ ) (which means
Formulas; it's Latin and, maybe, Aramaic) and anything else you don't
want to paste.
Is that what you've done?
