[users] Re: Help with writing macro
From your example, there is potentially another way to solve this in Calc
formulas.
You can specify a list of references that would then be a single parameter:
=MACRO(A13~D15~C1)
For example,
=SUM(A13~D15~C1)
works.
The question is, how does the definition of the macro specify that it accepts a
reference list, and how does the definition of the macro enumerate the cells in
the list to determine its result.
If this can be treated as a dimensioned parameter of variable length, then you
have one way to make this work.
I don't know the macro capabilities well enough to know if there is a
straightforward way to handle this case.

PS: In future, it might be possible to also use an in-line array for the
variable-length parameter list. It appears that arrays with non-constant terms
are not yet supported. E.g.,
=MACRO({A13;D15;C1})
doesn't appear to work in LibreOffice Calc at this time. Again, there needs to
be some way to work on the individual elements in the array as part of the
MACRO definition.

It should be used in Calc.

How about passing your data in an array. Then you only need one parameter.

I am not aware of any way to write a macro that accepts an totally arbitrary number of parameters. That said: *** (1) You can specify as many arguments as you desire to be optional. The disadvantage is that you must then set an upper bound on the number of arguments, and then you must also test each argument to see if it was included. *** (2) When you call a macro as a function from Calc, ranges are packaged and sent as an array, which means that you require only a single variable for each range included.
