OK, that makes sense. So it is not about the transaction being 0, but empty.

Here is a working formula:

=IF(ISBLANK(E4);;SUM(E$2:E4))

I have supposed that the transactions start at row 2. If not you have to change 
the E$2 accordingly.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Basic Calc Question

I'm a novice at spreadsheets, and google hasn't turned up an answer.
Probably because I haven't worded the question properly. I am trying to
build a general ledger. I have my running balance in the F column and
transactions in the E column. I am trying to construct a conditional
statement that takes the running balance in F4 and adds it to the -/+
transaction in E5 and put the new balance in F5. But when the E5 is $0.00,
I want F5 to remain $0.00 as well until a new transaction is entered.

Reply:

Barry,

Try one of these formulas. The first does what you said you want. The second 
does what I think you want.

=IF(E5=0,0,F4+E5)

=IF(E5=,,F4+E5)

[libreoffice-users] Re: converting txt to dates

2015-04-14 Thread bhaumikdave
I am using US Locale i.e. (English) US so it uses dd-mm-yy format.

But your dates are in  mm-dd-yy  format.  Inorder to convert 04-14-2015 to
14th April, 2015  , I need to change Date and Time settings from Control
panel. 

I kept my US locale as it is and changed date format to mm-dd-yy and 
converted your dates as 13-April-2015, 14-April-2015, and so on. 

Hope this  is useful.

Try this in F5
=IF(E5=0,0,F4+E5)

I tried the other formulas, but kept getting error codes.  This one works
and gives me the results I was looking for.  F5 remains blank until their
is an actual data entry in E5.  Thank you for the help.

A quick search turned up a feature request:
  https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74834
so the concerns are known and an option requested.

And a couple of possible workarounds...

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74834#c11
Sets the history list size to 0, so no thumbnails, but nothing under 
File  Recent Documents either. If you're really concerned about 
security / privacy, that's probably what you want anyway since listing 
file names has the potential to reveal information.


http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/29139/can-the-new-start-screen-in-v42-be-reverted-to-that-in-v41/?answer=36673#post-id-36673
Nars gives a hack to hide the thumbnails. I haven't tried it. As noted, 
it's editing one of the main installation files so will affect all 
users. You probably also need administrator/root access to edit that 
file, and may need to re-do that customisation after installing updates.


Hopefully there's something useful there.

Mark.

Hi :)
Yup, we are all loopy ;))

The weather where i am is unbelievably fantastic.  Just a couple weeks ago
i was wearing tons of layers and huge gloves and still shivering in the
cold.  Now i've got the windows open and listening to the birds making a
right racket (in a good way).  I hope it is good where all of you are too
:)

Good luck and regards from

[libreoffice-users] Re: Heads up -- LibreOffice 5.0 is on the horizion

2015-04-14 Thread V Stuart Foote
Sorry, but all this crud about security of the StartCenter thumbnail view is
FUD.

Since 4.3.2 and commit
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=a628ea1cd72585b889d591052680ebf79887dcefh=libreoffice-4-3
 
one simply needs to set a password for a document, and no thumbnail of the
document will be created.  

Those of you with legitimate security concerns *are* password protecting
your files right?

See  tdf#80755 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80755 
.

Now, that said--there are some legitimate UX issues of textual vs. graphical
thumbnails on the StartCenter as in the  tdf#74834
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74834   enhancement.

[libreoffice-users] FrameMaker conversion

2015-04-14 Thread MR ZenWiz
I run LO 4.4.2 on my Xubuntu 14.04.2 machines (work and home).

I have some old files I created way back in the late 90s that are in
Aldus/Adobe FrameMaker format.

I'd really like to get them into a more suitable, portable format, like ODT.

I tried to have my old FM create PDFs, but that piece does not work
and the best I can get is postscript files that a) don't really print
right and b) don't convert into ODT easily.  Even .DOC format or .RTF
would be better than the FM internal format that nothing else can
read.

I can do it manually, though I'd really rather not, so...

Is there any app or plugin that does this?

Thanks.

MR
