Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Calc: How to refresh advanced filter automatically
Spreadsheet is used to parse fixed-length messages. There are around 100 different messages, and each contains different fields. For example, message 01 contains 3 fields with length 10, and 1 field with length 5, and message 02 contains 2 fields with lengths 3 and 2. I have XLS file (prepared by another person) like: A | B | C | D M02My-very-complex-message M01 | =MID($A$1;C2;D2) | 1 | 10 M01 | =MID($A$1;C3;D3) | 11 | 10 M01 | =MID($A$1;C4;D4) | 21 | 10 M01 | =MID($A$1;C4;D4) | 31 | 5 M02 | =MID($A$1;C5;D5) | 1 | 3 M02 | =MID($A$1;C6;D6) | 4 | 2 So when I need to parse a message, I enter it into A1, then go to autofilter and select message type (01, if it's message 01) What I want is to eliminate this last step, so filter should change automatically when I enter message into A1. ... You can have a better solution Create a PARAMETERS sheet (it can be even in an external file) like M011 | 1 | 10 M012 | 11 | 10 M013 | 21 | 10 M014 | 31 | 5 M021 | 1 | 3 M022 | 4 | 2 which says : The 1st parsing result of the message of the type M01 is found in the source message at position 1 and is 10 chars long etc Let the parameters are in PAR.A1:C100 for example In the main document you can have a hiden sheet WORK besides the main sheet MESSAGE where in WORK.A1 is =MESSAGE.A1 WORK.A2 is a message type =left(A1;3) The first field: in WORK.B1 is the offset of the 1st field =vlookup(WORK.$A$2 1;PAR.$A$1:$C$100;2;0) in WORK.C1 is the field length =vlookup(WORK.$A$2 1;PAR.$A$1:$C$100;3;0) in WORK.D1 is the 1st field text =mid(WORK.A1;WORK.B1;WORK.C1) The second field: in WORK.B2 is offset of the 2st field =vlookup(WORK.$A$2 2;PAR.$A$1:$C$100;2;0) etc. You can have prepared let's the maximal number of fields And in the column WORK.C there will be parsed fields. You should maintain #NA values in the column if there is less fields In the mai sheet MESSAGE you can refer to the C column of the hidden WORK sheet. As soon as you type the message you can see the result without filtering. Thus the parsing rules are save from editing if the PARAMETERS sheet is read only or locked.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Ability to change currency as neededacross a spreadsheet in Calc?
Hi, in my spreadsheets there I usually have a special sheet named Parameters where I set some varying values such as - company name - period (weeknumber, year, month etc.) - local currency name or sign - other currencies used - and other ... Besides that I have a Work sheet which remains hidden from printing and eventually locked from users which sheet contains only supporting formulas and computations based on the parameters and data enterd somwhere else. It usually contains current exchange rates vlookup-ed in a separate spreadsheet. Currency used in the report is usually placed in the report header ( first several rows of the sheet) e.g. All numbers in EUR (that is as a formula for example =All numbers in $Parameters.$D$4 ) or in the column headers of the report actually linked from Parameters or Work. Changing the currency is then only a matter of adjusting the Parameters sheet. I never use the number format with currency sign, as the reports are better readible, it saves the column width (and the printer toner) and usualy there are not mixed financial values with kilometers, liters or emploies number :) Regards, Jiri Dne 14.7.2011 20:58, Twayne napsal(a): In news:1310666739.4101.16.camel@planas-pinguy, planasjsloz...@gmail.com typed: Hi Geoff, On Thu, 2011-07-14 at 08:04 -0700, floridabrits wrote: Hello LibreOffice fans...

If I understand you problem, you want to show the currency in a user defined manner. One possibility is to have a cover worksheet that summarizes the data in any currency. You might use a macro to set the proper currency and exchange rates.

Let, say that in parameters sheet you have - in A1 some label saying Choose your currency - in A2 some initial valu e.g. USD click to A2 and choose from Data - Validity -bookmark Criteria - field Allow select Cell range and into field source enter link to the range where you have allowed curencies e.g. D1:D4 ( in D1:D4 should then be e.g. USD, EUR, GBP, PLZ ) The user will be able to expand the list and to select what he/she needs when the cell A2 gets the focus (when the cursor is in the cell).

Re: [libreoffice-users] HTML entities
I think that if there is a metatag declaring the coding as charset=utf-8
then it is not necessary to use html entities.
Did you check the html source text in the hexadecimal view ?
