A what?


... with OpenOffice on a Mac Computer?


Yes.

o Open a new spreadsheet (Calc) document.
o Paste your list into a column.
o Select the range containing the list (or just the entire column).
o Go to Data | Filter > | Standard Filter... .
o For the first "Field name", select "- none -" from the drop-down menu.
o Click More Options.
o Ensure that "Range contains column labels" is not ticked (unless 
you have included a column label).

o Tick "No duplication".
o Click OK. Duplicate entries are now hidden.
o Select the (reduced) range.
o Copy the range (Edit | Copy or Ctrl+C). Crucially, entries hidden 
using a filter are omitted from the copy action.

o Paste the edited list back into your source.

Remember that small and perhaps insignificant differences between 
entries - different cases, spacing, punctuation - will prevent 
otherwise similar entries being identified as duplicates.


I trust this helps.

As an aside you should  never use an office file to pass  on  crucial 
information because  it  can be changed, unless you passward protect it and I'm 
not absolutley sure you can do this when sending a file. It  should be allowed 
to send  as PDF and  even then it can be changed.

Re: Removing Duplicate entries?

2019-06-20 Thread JD
if you are on a unix machine or a linux machine,
and your list is a text file (lets say mylist.txt);
then you can eliminate duplicates in this way:

sort -f mylist.txt | uniq > mylist2.txt

the -f option ignores the case of the characters (ie. upper or lower).

Re: Removing Duplicate entries?

2019-06-20 Thread Alan B
I do not know what you mean by "using a TextEdit". However I can offer the
following suggestions (all presume each mail list address is on a single
line) ...

1. sort the address list and then remove the duplicate entries by
inspecting the list
2. for a long list, import the entries to a table then run a query for
unique entries, save the query result as the new list

Just a quick thank you

2019-06-20 Thread Myles Graebner
I am not sure if I am sending this e-mail to the right web address, but I just 
wanted to send a warm, heartfelt thank you to Apache - Open Office for allowing 
me to utilize your open office software over the last 10 years.
Although I haven't used it much, it has been invaluable to me.
So thanks again, and thanks to all of you for your continued hard work.
Sincerely,Myles

If it was me, I would just change the extension after I saved it as an 
xls file. :)


I would bet it will be opened on the other end fine.

The standard filter applies whatever condition you have chosen. If 
you want a more complex filter condition, you have to embody that in 
the filter itself, which you can do using AND and OR in the Operator 
field of the Standard Filter dialogue. Perhaps Names = John OR Names = Mary?


If you want as many as five otherwise random names to appear, 
presumably they have something in common. Should you have an extra 
column in your spreadsheet showing that property - date of joining?, 
subscription overdue? - and filter on that property instead?


I trust this helps.

LibreOffice is capable of reading and writing XLSX files.

   What is the difference between .xls and .xlsx anyway?
