[libreoffice-users] Re: How to check rows for to replace a value for another in Calc?
Hello again!
I wanted to update you guys. I created a new table manually with the fields:
EXTEMAILFULL NAME
I proceeded to fill them making sure no value was repeated. So now I
have a table that is capable of converting EXT to EMAIL or FULL NAME; or
EMAIL to FULL NAME with vlookup().
I also need to look up to the left side so, for example, if I want to
extract the email from a full name I can vlookup() the name and check
the adjacent cells. The problem is vlookup() only looks to the right
side of the first column so I've used vlookup(choose()) to be able to
look up the values to the left side. This feels like bad formula all
around and would like your opinion in which is a good way to do what I
want to do.
The exact formula is this:
|= VLOOKUP( VLOOKUP( D5,CHOOSE( {2,1}, ext_mail.$B$1:$B$100,
ext_mail.$E$1:$E$100), 2, 0), $A$3:$B$51, 2, 0)|
So it is a choose() nested in a vlookup() which is nested in another
vlookup(). Bad code all around.
Thanks for your time!

Hi again!
I have a problem in Calc. I get a lot of spreadsheets from various
sources and I have to compile one big sheet with the information of
every one of them. One of the problems I am facing is that there is a
lot of names for the same user. So, for example:
PHONE EXTENSIONName Sheet A
111John Doe
PHONE EXTENSIONName Sheet B
111Jon Doe
PHONE EXTENSIONName Sheet C
111J. Doe
Right now, I have kind of a table relating one to another but it is
absolutely atrocious:
EXT.Name AName B
111John Doe J. Doe
111John DoeJon Doe
I would like a system where I could have only one row for person:
EXT.Name AName BName CName D
111John DoeJ. DoeJon Doe...
112Dorian GrayD. GrayDon Gray...
And once the table is properly established, I would want to replace
every appearance of Name B, Name C with the value of Name A.
If any of you would want to help me pointing how this could be done, I
would be immensely grateful.
Thank you!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Sum of multiple cells substring
Hi again,
I modified the formula to suit my spreadsheet to
{=SUM(IF(LEFT(B46:AE46,2)=OT,VALUE(MID(B46:AE46,3,99)),0))}. It works
beautifully but, in some instances it will render an Err:502.
One of said instances is this:
OT8 HF8 OT8 OT2 OT1 OT0,5 OT8 OT8 OT8 OT5 OT6 OT5 OT6
OT5 OT5 OT8 OT5 OT6 OT3 OT8 OT8 OT4 OT8 OT8 OT5 OT1 OT5
OT4 OT8 OT8
Is the HF8 the one to blame?
Thanks again.

Suppose those eleven items are cells A1 to K1. In the result cell, enter
=SUM(IF(LEFT(B1:K1,2)=OT,VALUE(MID(B1:K1,3,99)),0))
But don't press Enter or click the green tick mark; instead press
Ctrl+Shift+Enter to render it an array formula. You will see that the
entire formula displayed in the Input Line has been surrounded by
braces - { } - but note that you cannot achieve the same result by
typing these yourself.
You will presumably need to copy this formula down a column. If so,
you appear to be able to achieve the correct result by copying the
formula from the first cell and pasting it into others (even
wholesale) or by using Edit | Fill, but not by dragging the fill handle.
I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Sum of multiple cells substring
Hello again!
I realized the error was that the decimal point is a , (we are using
Spanish localization), so changing the , for a . decimal point did the
trick.
Once again, thank you a lot.
