[libreoffice-users] libreoffice 4.1.4.2 install problem
Just some feedback for the Devs on an install problem which I have managed to workaround - so no reply necessary - unless the Devs want further details. System: Acer X1420 - AMD Athlon dual core CPU / 4GB RAM, running Windows 8.1. I downloaded the install file on two occasions - both displayed identical behaviour during the install. During the install, two warning dialogs are displayed: Warning 1946. 'System.AppUserModel.ID' for shortcut 'LibreOffice Draw.lnk' could not be set. Warning 1946. 'System.AppUserModel.ID' for shortcut 'LibreOffice Impress.lnk' could not be set. Installation stalls completely when status reads 'creating shortcuts'. However, I have since discovered that version 4.1.4.2 did install, and I was able to create the shortcuts manually from the Start Screen.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc Function

I'm wanting to use it as follows: =IF(___(A$3:A7,A7,Q$3:Q7)=___(A$3:A7,A7,R$3:R7),SUM(A$3:A7,A7,R$3:R7)-SUM(A$3:A7,A7,Q$3:Q7),Error 4) Where Error 4 means that the start miles in Q$3:Q7 and end miles in R$3:R7 are not properly paired and thus the miles driven on date A7 cannot be determined. Your formula - if it worked - would count the cells in columns Q and R which correspond to cells in column A which match your criterion for the contents of the cells in column A. As has already been pointed out, this is no different from counting the relevant cells in column A - and this means that your test of equality will always be true and your error message will never be triggered. The COUNTIF(), even if you could use it as you hoped, would pick out the appropriate date but not take any account of the contents of the cells in columns Q and R. (This is no doubt why COUNTIF() cannot have that third parameter: it would be of no use!) ... the corresponding cell in column Q or R respectively contains a number (otherwise it's a zero length string). At no point have you tested the contents of relevant cells in columns Q and R, which would be counted even if they were empty. But more fundamentally, counting such cells is surely an insufficient test anyway: if you have the same number of missing start miles as missing end miles, your counts would match up (and no error would be triggered) even if the missing values were in different rows. I trust this helps.

Re: [libreoffice-users] getting larger set of colors that the standard that comes with LO -corrected URL
Thanks som I redid the arrangement of some of the colors in the original large color file and put that in the ownCloud folder. Plus I added a few more colors I found. I found Hex codes for colors like Silver, Copper, Wood, etc.. So I added it to the second one. I found a set of Hex codes that do not have any named to them, but they explore the range of colors, from light to dark, starting with one color/code. This is a sample of those color tables. http://libreoffice-na.us/color-coder-tables.png I may work on creating a file with those color in it. Although there are not names for them, I would end up using their Hex codes for the names, unless there is no need for naming the colors in the list. If you look at the color table in Writer, via. its table properties for the background of a cell, you can see it another way. http://libreoffice-na.us/writer-color-table.png This is a screen clip of Writer and one of my calendars that I made from a .doc template I found. The bottom two rows, and part of the row above that, are the Branding Colors, so if you want to create something with the LO Branded Colors you do not have to look any farther. Yes, above those colors there are colors like Blue 8 or Turquoise 2, but there is no indication if any of those colors are the Branded Colors or not. I made sure that the colors had names like LO green 4 or LO yellow 1 so you know that they are the colors listed in the Branding information page. With over 2,000 colors in the list, the users should be able to find something they would like to use. When I have the time to make a new one, with the colors in the first image's file, then there will be a lot more choices.

[libreoffice-users] a LibO/Calc problem
Happy New Year Dear LibO experts, Since years back I have copied my bank's digital listing of my bank account(s); first using MSOWord and later on MSOExcel. My intension is to transform these listings so I can calculate with the currency values in LibO-Calc. The bank's table has four cols: colA=date, colBcolC= text and colD is the currency as text. Each listing consists of several hundreds of events (rows). The problem is that the damn bank -- against all standards -- gives the currency values with a dot (.) as thousand separator and + or - chars (plus or minus) in the right end of each number (e.g. 987,65+, 1.234,56-, 23.456,78+) -- which is against Calc's will. By now I have managed to get LibO/Calc to accept all values less than 9.999,99: first dragged (copied) the table from MSWord = MSExcel; MSExcel-file saved in LibO/Calc as ods in Calc = function TRIM(D5) to get rid of non-printable chars formula (in E5) : removes the separator/dot and the + sign and changes the value from text to number /=VALUE(IF(RIGHT($E4;1)=+;IF(MID($E4;2;1)=.;CONCATENATE(MID($E4;1;1);MID($E4;3;LEN($E4)-3));MID($E4;1;LEN($E4)-1));0))/ formula (in F5): removes the separator/dot and the - sign and changes the value from text to number /=VALUE(IF(RIGHT(//E4//;1)=-;IF(MID(//E4//;2;1)=.;CONCATENATE(MID(//E4//;1;1);MID(//E4//;3;LEN(//E4//)-3));MID(//E4//;1;LEN(//E4//)-1));0))/ copy(dragged) down the 100-300 rows Copy(cols EF) = PasteSpecial to colG:H gives the desired list of incomes and expences separated in their own cols as acceptable numbers _Question:_ What formula/function gives the same result for the bank's currency values bigger than 9.999,99? e.g. 11.222,33+, 11.222.333,44- I have tried to define the . using the Find() - but have had trouble with it when nested in another function/formula (e.g. an IF() function); the definition of it in Calc/Help is obviously at least unclear if not wrong.

Re: [libreoffice-users] a LibO/Calc problem
I haven't so much tried to answer your question directly, instead I attempted to solve the same problem you did. For me, this gives a simpler answer. Given: Col A: The initial bank value as text Col B: =IF(RIGHT(A1,1)=-,Debit,Credit) Col C: =LEN(A1) Col D: =LEFT(A1,C1-1) Col E: =FIND(,,D1) Col F: =SUBSTITUTE(D1,.,,) Col G: =REPLACE(F1,E1,1,.) Col H: =VALUE(G1) Col I: =IF(B1=Debit, 0-H1, H1) Col A holds the initial value as given by your bank, as text. Col B then looks at the last character of that value, and displays either Debit, if the character was a minus sign, or Credit for anything else. Col C gives the total length of the initial text value Col D gives the initial value stripped of the last character, the plus or minus sign. Col E gives us the position of the comma, so that we can turn it into a period later. Col F gives us the stripped value (from col D) with the periods replaced by commas, for correct thousand separators. Col G gives us the value from col F with the final comma changed to a period, for correct decimal separator. This text string should now be correctly formatted for interpreting as a number. Col H gives us the value from col G interpreted as a number. Col I gives us the final value we want. This is derived from col H, which has the initial value as a number, without the correct plus or minus sign, and we use the value in col B to determine if we should use the number as is, or subtract it from zero to get a negative number. I formatted this column as currency. I tested it with the following: 11.200,33+ == R 11,200.3 2.500.236,65- == R-2,500,236.65 11,25+ == R 11.25 0,96- == R-0.96 If I understand you correctly, this is exactly what you want. No need to mess around with numbers under or over 9.999,99. Of course, you can combine some of those formulas to use less extra cells, but the more you combine stuff, the more complex it becomes, and I don't know where you'd like to draw the line for complexity of formulas vs complexity of page layout, so I leave that part up to you. Hope this helps you out.

It seems to be specific to Opensuse. If a file is created in writer or calc, but not saved and thereby given a file name, then at the end of the period set in Tools-Option-Load/Save-General for saving autorecovery information (and optionally the document itself), libreoffice saves, and then keeps on saving every 5-10 seconds, with the result that the ~/.config/libreoffice/4-suse/user/backup/ directory builds up a series of untitled -n.odt files. Sometimes, and in particular when both calc and writer are open with untitled files, the saving becomes so frequent that the program is unmanageable and has to be killed. I have tested this with libreoffice on opensuse 12.3 in both KDE and Gnome (separate machines) and confirmed that it happens consistently with both. However, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Windows XP do not have this problem. Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?

I finish up with a two sheet file, one sheet Formatted and the other sheet with the Bank info. What I want is a straight Import to wherever I have put the cursor. No complicated choices either.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Inserting a row does not change formula
Hi :) Excel does exactly the same thing. When i show/train people to use spreadsheets i try to get them to make the row above the totals row much smaller so that people leave that row blank. Generally people don't have time for that sort of thing and then have to spend hours trying to work out why their formulas don't work. I've never understood why spreadsheet programs are designed that way.

The ONLY purpose of a template is to create a NEW file having the desired characteristics. It should not be written to or it could be damaged and not produce the desired results upon future use. As an example, if you do much writing of program code, you probably use a template in your text editor for the language you are coding in. In that case you select the template to use and the editor creates a NEW text file based upon the template. Same principal. Use the template to create a NEW file and then import the csv data into the NEW file and save it.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Default Template

Now when I open Writer I get the following Message: Users/jt/Library/Application Support/LibreOffice/4/user/template/LettersJT.ott does not exist. It is still calling for the Default Template. How can I stop it? I am using a Mac 10.9.1. and LO 4.2.0.2. o In the Template Manager dialog, click the Action Menu icon (on the right). o Go to Reset Default Template | Text Document. This option does not appear unless it is useful, i.e. unless you have set an alternative template as the default.

That depends on which template was actually used to create Untitled 1. If your alternative template had ben deleted, we can hope that the default Default was used. In any case, now that you have successfully set an alternative template as default, you can reset the original if you wish. I trust this helps.

Create your document first from the template, then insert the data. This is the way templates work. For example, I have a standard form that I use to create letters. I started by creating a new document from the default template, made my changes and then saved as my Letter template. Now, when I want to create a letter, I make a new document from that template and go from there. You do not add data to a template, but you can create a new one by creating a document the way you want and then save that as your new template. Then use that template to make a new document. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
Re: [libreoffice-users] a LibO/Calc problem
At 17:55 12/01/2014 +0200, Pertti Rönnberg wrote: Since years back I have copied my bank's digital listing of my bank account(s); first using MSOWord and later on MSOExcel. My intention is to transform these listings so I can calculate with the currency values in LibO-Calc. The bank's table has four cols: colA=date, colBcolC= text and colD is the currency as text. Each listing consists of several hundreds of events (rows). The problem is that the damn bank -- against all standards -- gives the currency values with a dot (.) as thousand separator and + or - chars (plus or minus) in the right end of each number (e.g. 987,65+, 1.234,56-, 23.456,78+) -- which is against Calc's will. By now I have managed to get LibO/Calc to accept all values less than 9.999,99: first dragged (copied) the table from MSWord = MSExcel; MSExcel-file saved in LibO/Calc as ods I'm not sure why you want to use Microsoft Word or Excel. You can open a .doc file in LibreOffice (as a text file) and copy and paste the table into a spreadsheet there. You can open an .xls file directly in LibreOffice. If your bank's original data is plain text or web material, you can import this directly into a LibreOffice spreadsheet. _Question:_ What formula/function gives the same result for the bank's currency values bigger than 9.999,99? e.g. 11.222,33+, 11.222.333,44- It's a bit messy, but this should work: =VALUE(RIGHT(Xn;1)SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(Xn;.;);+;);-;)) Cannot get the Fixed() -- when trying to eliminate the separator/dot that way -- working in this 'project' either. This is no help. If you already had correctly interpreted numbers (which you don't: that's the problem), FIXED() would convert these to text (with which you then couldn't calculate) - exactly the opposite of what you are trying to do. Once you have your real numbers, you can control their appearance by choosing appropriate cell formats, of course. I trust this helps.
