Re: [libreoffice-users] Confused with Macro results??
My latest macro seems to work fine, but did the following test to check
output.
In Cell A1 put =int(now())
in Cell A2 put =a1+1
In Cell B2 ran the macro and entered $A$1,A2 and result is 1 day
In Cell C2 ran the macro and entered int(now()),A2 and result is 1 day
Copied Cells A2:C2 all the way down to row 8005 (21 years 10 months 30
days)
Had seen something that mentioned the "md" option could cause negative
numbers under some cases, but in those 8004 rows, the days values
seemed to go from 1 up to the number of days in current month -1 and then
to blank when it would be zero. So, not sure on what situation the "md"
option would cause errors. Perhaps with dates outside the current
centuries??
The latest macro gets rid of the substitution, and just manually creates a
single entry. Originally was doing steps in cells, and then just trying to make
a macro that would duplicate the process. This is simple, and in looking at
output, it seems to give the results I wanted, and don't see the issue with the
"md" option?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Confused with Macro results??
just
copy the formula, and change the A2,A1 to the new values. Recording it worked
just fine, and did everything correctly in the recording process, but the play
back didn't include the last steps using the F2 key. I've just now done a new
version that does seem to work, but it made the process a lot longer... Was a
mess getting all the "s correct, but it seems to work the way I want, just
required manually replacing each value versus using the search and replace

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?

Re: [libreoffice-users] Confused with Macro results??
Basically, I want the macro to be able to work completely on its own. Agree that having to do the steps with the F2 and other keys is a problem. Not sure why the recorder refuses to record those steps?? 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 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),) 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. sub Z2 rem -- rem define variables dim documentas 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_),12)=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$(34)sTextchr$(34)),_,CHAR(34)) dispatcher.executeDispatch(document,.uno:EnterString,, 0, args1()) msgbox (To complete process,+chr$(13)+Formula Press F2 then F9 then Enter then Enter+ chr$(13)+For Text Result Press F2 then F9 then Enter then F9 then Enter then Enter) end sub The ideal would be that the macro does the whole thing rether than requiring the user to press 4 or 6 additional key strokes??

Re: [libreoffice-users] Confused with Macro results??
Had a sheet that has two dates and calculate the difference between the dates. 07/05/2020 04/11/1960 60 Years 2 Months 24 Days The formula being: =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 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),) That excludes years months and days if value of unit is 0, and also makes the context singular if value is 1.

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..

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?
