Re: [libreoffice-users] Confused with Macro results??
I think that the correct answer is that you simply write your own function.
That way you do not need to copy the long messy function and replace some text.
Based on what you just said, however, assume that the intent is that you will
modify the active cell to refernece the values in question. That would look
something like this: (now I go see if i can make it work).
And much hinges on how fancy / smart you want to make the portion that figures
out what cell is selected. Remember, it is possible that you select a range
when you run the macro, but. I know this is wrong because on my machine it
complains about the "md" parameter, but I will not try to figure that out, it
is 11:00 PM and I have not had my dinner yet.
I hope that this helps at least a little bit. But this places the formula where
you need it, you just need to (1) figure out how to call it and (2) what that
formula needs to be.
Let me know what you figure out.
Dim s As String
Dim sNew As String
Dim sNewDates As String
sNewDates = "D1, D2"
sNewDates = InputBox ("Please enter Date Cells Example D2,D1:")

The original formula is
=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),12)=1,1

Day,DATEDIF(A2,A1,md)Days),)
But to use the formula in a different location or with dates in different
relative
locations would require one to manually edit the formula and change all the
A2,A1 settings to the new settings. Doing it 9 times.
Thus the macro prompts for the new addresses, and changes them all.
Problem is it leaves the formula contents displayed rather than the result??
Requiring the use of the F2 key and other keys.
Have found the copy paste isn't required, but it changes the manual key options
require to get the results.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Confused with Macro results??
Might I ask what you want the macro to do? Your macro confuses me a bit...
That said, the actual API has a very harsh learning curve (in my opinion). If I
rip apart what I see, I would guess the following:
The user enters some text, which represents a set of cells separated by a
comma.
Next, you do things with these cells based on a very complicated formula. I am
not familiar with the EnterString dispatch off hand, but I assume that it
places whatever this string is into a cell.
Next you call the dispatcher to Copy to the clipboard followed by Cutting to
the clipboard. That seems redundant.
Next you have InsertContents, again, a dispatch command with which I have no
familiarity, but, off hand it looks like it is probably doing something similar
to "Paste", but I am just guessing.
So, what do you really want to accomplish?

The record process does not allow for the use of the F2 key, so as is, it

After the macro ends, I've found that if I manually press F2 then a space and

I've also found that if I manually do F2 F9 Enter Enter, it will place just the

Also, found pages that talk about API stuff to modify cells, but the two I tried
did nothing?
Am I missing something??

converted them back?
Not and important macro, but was just hoping to find a way to make it work

Re: [libreoffice-users] Confused with Macro results??
Hi Michael,
your post is hard to understand. Please write, what you want to achieve
with your macro.
Kind regards
Regina

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..
