Sorry, these were ASCII-formatted tables, but something munged them 
on the way. Here is what the HTML-rendering looks like:

So I want to "query" these sets of tables and for e.g. "Thu", get 
the values of the non-empty cells in the "Thu" columns on the 
various sheets.


I can do an array copy, but that includes the empty cells.

Also, ideally, I get the output sorted somehow.

How would one go about creating a new sheet that consolidates all 
these together, so that I'd get a list of all the values for each of 
the columns, i.e. an array with the values {5,1,11,7,11,g,a,g,e,k} 
for "Thu", and so on, ...


Er, exactly how do those become the values for Thursday?

o Enter "=" (no quotes) into the target cell in your new sheet.
o Click the tab of your source sheet to display it.
o Click the source cell.
o Press Enter (or click the Accept green tick icon in the Input Line).

You can now drag the cell's fill handle in the target sheet to expand 
the area referenced to a row, a column, or another range.


I trust this helps.

[libreoffice-users] Consolidating values from multiple sheets

2021-08-17 Thread martin f krafft

Hey,

I've got several sheets with values such as the following:

| Thu | Fri | Sat |
|:|:|:|
| 5   | 6   | | 
| | 9   | 10  | 
| 1   | | 2   | 
| | 9   | 10  | 
| 11  | | 12  |
| 7   | 8   | | 
| | 3   | 4   | 
| 11  | | 12  |


Here is another

| Thu | Fri | Sat |
|:|:|:|
| g   | h   | | 
| a   | | b   | 
| | i   | j   | 
| g   | h   | | 
| e   | f   | | 
| | c   | d   | 
| k   | | l   |


How would one go about creating a new sheet that consolidates all 
these together, so that I'd get a list of all the values for each of 
the columns, i.e. an array with the values {5,1,11,7,11,g,a,g,e,k} 
for "Thu", and so on, and ideally without the blank lines?


Is this possible without scripting? It has to run on Excel as well 
as Calc, and I don't think scripting is a sensible way to go for 
that.


Ideally, I can also suppress duplicates *and* sort the result. Any 
ideas?
