A simple workaround is to assemble copies of the relevant ranges from 
multiple sheets on a single summary sheet. (After all, the value you 
are trying to derive definitely relates to the data generally, not to 
any specific year.) Then the function reference is simple. Instead of 
simply copying values, you will want to create formulae in the 
summary sheet to harvest values from the individual sheets. That way, 
the values on the summary sheet will automatically update as you work 
on the individual sheets.


Or you could use one sheet instead of multiple, yearly sheets in the 
first place. After all, 1 January 2003 comes as soon after 31 
December 2002 as 31 December 2002 did after 30 December 2002. 
Contrary to the theories of some partygoers, nothing particularly 
discontinuous happens to time at the new year!


I trust this helps.

Could you be a bit slow - Think of telling your 5 year old brother.

I am pretty poor at chart-making unfortunately :(

​hen creating a chart​, you can either prefix your intervals with
$. or use the button on the right of each range input then
change tab to get data from another sheet.

Additionaly, to use multiple ranges (either on the same sheet or on various
sheets) you can separate ranges using a semicolon, and/or add more data
ranges in the chart assistant.

For example, this is a multi-sheet multiple range
string: $Sheet2.$A$1:$A$7;$Sheet1.$B$1:$C$7

[libreoffice-users] Question on wildcards

2017-02-05 Thread Rob 

Hi,

I am looking for a way to use MAXIFS over the equivalent ranges in multiple 
tabs. 
Something like:

=COUNTIF(‘2*'.E$2:E$200;C2)

Explanation: For all ranges in tabs with name 2.* (2002, 2003, 2004, etc.), 
range E2:E200 give me the number of occurrences of the value define in C2

Is this at all possible?

[libreoffice-users] How to make chart out of a multi-sheet ods file ?

2017-02-05 Thread shirish शिरीष 
Dear Friends,

I want to make a chart from content in a multi-sheet file.

As an example to illustrate, I use
https://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/sites/homeaffairs/files/what-we-do/policies/borders-and-visas/visa-policy/docs/2015_consulates_schengen_visa_stats_en.xlsx
. I converted the .xlsx to .ods using calligrasheets.

I was able to open the resultant file into libreoffice. See
https://dropfile.to/Sks88Py

Now what I want to do is to make chart from say either page 2 or page
3 but unable to figure out how to do it ?

I am running Libreoffice 5.2.4.2.1 on Debian testing -

[$] libreoffice --version

LibreOffice 5.2.4.2.1 20m0(Build:2)

Looking forward for a solution.

"auto calc".  Haven't tested by turning autocalc back on.

What I have not tried is to F9 and/or save before the delete.

​Thanks Bruce ! I had downloaded the three LO packages and thought I had
installed them all, but after checking I realised that I had failed to
install not the the langpack, but the helppack.​
​ That now done, everything is hunky-dory​
