Re: [libreoffice-users] Two formulas in one cell?
That is an impressive solution from Michael but, not knowing the layout of your spreadsheet, I wonder why you cannot simply insert a new column adjacent to the cell in question so that each formula can be in a separate cell.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Two formulas in one cell?
Not sure why this list corrupts anything pasted directly from a spread sheet. Looked fine when I sent it, but the result on list was WRONG?? Thursday, January 18, 2018 27 =TEXT(A3+3," d, ")&" "(A4,"#") How it got =3DTEXT(A3+3, D, )60;TEXT(A4,#) So copied it to a text editor, and then pasted it. On 3 Jun 2018 at 11:44, Michael D.

[libreoffice-users] Long comments in calc?
Ahoy: I am still using Version: 4.4.7.2, so this note may be of no help. (I am not aware of any “improvements” in later versions that would help me, and I read here of so many regressions, that I have not been tempted to “upgrade”.) Anyway, in Version: 4.4.7.2, when you select “Insert-Text Box”, you do not immediately get a box, but only an indicator that something has changed, which might appear to you as “nothing”. The “regular” calc arrow cursor changes to a cross, with an apparent subscript looking something like a curvey-flanged I-beam. You can use this cursor to draw the outline of the text box, which need not conform to cell boundaries. Anything you type within those boundaries goes not into the underlying cells, but rather into the text box. Executing a CR exits the “text-box mode”, leaving the text floating. You cannot make any entry into the underlying cells when the text box boundary is displayed, but you can after exiting, even entering right under “box” text. Clicking within the now-invisible boundary does not select any cell; instead it brings back the box boundary, handles, The box can be manipulated in the usual ways when its boundary is displayed, including re-sizing and being dragged over pre-existing cell entries. There is, of course, much more detail to be gleaned, but best by experimentation, not additional tortured prose. Any help? mxk -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
Re: [libreoffice-users] Long comments in calc?
Hi Rakidzija : There is an option that you can use for input a comment into a cell. If you right click mouse over a specific cell, you get a menu with differents options. One of them is "Insert a comment" (The last in my LO Versión: 6.0.3.2). Select that option an appear a little yellow rectangule where you can write your comment about some issue of the content of it cell. This rectangule grow when you input your sentence but when you ending your wrotten the comment. When you did it you, the comment closed an appear a red super little point in the right top corner of the cell where you input the comment. Then, always over the cell that content the comment, you can righ click mouse again and appear 3 more options in the context menu: Edit, Delete and Show the comment. With each of them you can modify your comment of the cell. By the way, only with Show Comment option you can modify the form of the yellow rectangule making more wide (wider ?), for example, to structure the comment to your needs and your sheet. For do this, you have to select the border of the yellow rectangule when it is showed. Then if you click right again you can see again in the menu context but only : Edit,hide (instead show) and delete option menu. With hide option you can do it and show only the red point in the cell.

Built-in comments can be re-sized by selecting "Edit comment", and then clicking inside the comment: this will make handles appear that you can use to make the comment any size you want. 2. As far as text boxes go, once you have selected Insert -> text box, your cursor should become a plus sign (+): at that point, click and drag to set the location/size of the box. I hope this helps.

Hi, what's the best way to insert long comments into calc? A floating window that does not interfere with the spreadsheet itself would be best. 1. the built in commentary for cells seems to be buggy, sometimes wound't display corretly, cannot be resized... unusable for me if it's more than a couple of words 2. merging cells is not what I want. Cannot really edit the box as if it were a text box and resizing seems difficult 3.
