as spread sheet will be used by both tools is there a switch I can use.
The problem
=CELL("filename",A1) in LO returns
'file:///C:/Users/Ian Mac/Desktop/Accounts15-16.xls'#$Sep 15
where as in Excel the returned data is different
cant easily paste the excel result here but the terminal filename is in
square brackets
is there a way I can either spot which program I'm using and therefore
switch the detection of the sheet name
using LibreOffice 5.0.4.2
=LEFT(CELL("FileName");8)="'file://"
returns TRUE in Calc and FALSE in Excel
Just fallen down another Excel/Calc wormhole - indirect addresses
formats are different on Excel its 'sheetFred'!$C:$C
where are its 'sheetFred'.$C:$C in Calc fortunatley the above test
works for this just as well. :-)
