[libreoffice-users] LibreOffice Base -Queries...
I have a database Reactors_Videos and three of the fields are: No (Field Type = Number (Numeric) First (Field Type = Date (DATE) Last (Field Type = Date (DATE) I successfully created a Query to display the total number of Reactions. This Query takes the form SELECT SUM( "No" ) FROM "Reactor_Videos Table 1" I am now trying to create a Query which will display the number of reactions between any two dates but failing miserably Most of them return the error : SQL Status: HY000 Error code: 1000 Syntax error in SQL statement" and an internet search reveals that this error is returned for any number of reasons, none of which are helpful to me (perhaps because of my lack of knowledge) My latest attempt was SELECT SUM( "No" ) FROM "Reactor_Videos Table 1" HAVING ( ( COUNT( "First" ) = 1 / 12 / 20 AND COUNT( "Last" ) = 31 / 12 / 20 ) ) This saved without any error messages but running the query results in no output As will be apparent, my knowledge of the SQL language is minimal at best and any help members are able to offer will be very welcome.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice Base previously copying data from Calc to Base)...
Using LibreOffice Base v6.4.5.2 on Linux Mint v20.0 Thanks to the assistance given by members of this Mailing List, I have made progress in creating a database using LibreOffice Base. I have created a database Reactor_Videos which has the fields (1) Reactor_Videos Table 1 ID Name (of Reactor) Location (Country of residence) Gender Number (of times an artist has been featured) First (date artist first featured) Last (Last date artist featured) and the contents of the spreadsheet I used to record data was copied to the Table Reactors_Video Table 1. I created a form - Reactor_Videos_Form from that Table - and have used that to enter or update new information. It is quick and I am now getting to grips with creating Queries. The Table has many Reactors but at present the information relates only to one artist and the only information is the first and last date a particular Reactor reacted to her. (2) My next step is to have the ability to not only (a) choose a Reactor (3) but also to (b) choose from a list of artists (c) choose the song the artist is singing (d) choose the type of venue at which the performance took place Bearing this in mind, I created three more Tables. (4) Artist (which has fields) IDArtist Name Date of birth Country of birth Country of residence (5) Songs/Performances (which has fields) IDPerformance Title (6) Venue (which has fields) IDVenue Concert - indoor Concert - outdoor Studio - home Studio - recording Private gathering My first thought was to have the entire database in one Table, differentiating the sectors by using different titles for the ID field, e.g. ID as an Integer (for the Reactor), IDArtist for the artist as an Integer etc. I created the IDArtist as an Integer but when I tried to save it I got the error message. Column constraints are not acceptable in Statement [ALTER TABLE "Table1" ADD "IDArtist" INTEGER NOT NULL IDENTITY] When I click on More I see SQL Status:S1000 Searching on the internet does not help me as it reveals information current about 2015. I then created Forms from the Tables Artists, Songs/Performances, and Venue with the intention place them on the main form (Reactor_Videos_ Form) and link them, to achieve my objective in (3) above but despite searching the LO Base Manual and watching and listening to tutorials on YouTube, I have been unsuccessful in seeing a way forward. Any help from members to set me on the right path to achieve what I am attempting will very welcome.

Hi Zed,
The Table has one field named "Gender" and the gender is indicated by F,
or M or M/F where a family is involved.
What I was trying to achieve was a query which extracted the total
numbers for each gender (e.g. 50, M25, M/F13) between a particular time
period. In this case the period was BETWEEN 01/07/2020 AND 31/07/2020
I have found several web pages which explain the syntax for SQL but, at
my present level of knowledge, they are beyond my understanding :-)
You could show the code here.
Might be something like
SELECT "gender", COUNT("gender") AS "number" FROM "table" WHERE "date"
BETWEEN '2020-07-01' AND '2020-07-31' GROUP BY "gender"
Could also be you will show other content in the same query. Then you
have to create correlated subqueries.
Thank you again for your prompt reply. I'll work through the code you
have given me and report back. It may be a little while, though as
"real" life is tending to be interfering with what "I" feel is more
important :-)
Zed

Attention: Robert Grosskopf My apologies for not following convention and replying in the normal manner but I rather foolishly deleted your advice by mistake, The information you gave me regarding my request for help on how to construct a query was just the guide I required to solve my problem. I was also able to construct two other queries. In one I was successful in extracting the information I required but not so successful in the second. The Table has one field named "Gender" and the gender is indicated by F, or M or M/F where a family is involved. What I was trying to achieve was a query which extracted the total numbers for each gender (e.g. 50, M25, M/F13) between a particular time period.

And so on? Thank you for your prompt reply, Brian. It is much appreciated Perhaps I didn't explain myself clearly enough. In simple terms, I want to know whether there is any way that when I enter a new date in Column D it will automaticall increase the current value in Column B by 1.

When I learnt touch typing, way back in the '60s, the average word was deemed to be five keystrokes, e.g. the word "thaw+hittingn the spacebar" counted as a word for determining "words per minute typed. And, of course, a word such as "costumier+spacebar" would count as two words, etc. Zed zed Diplomacy: The art of letting someone else get your way. -- 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
[libreoffice-users] FontForge - converting fonts...
I've been very interested in the discussion of the problems users are having in LO5.4.1.2 not reading fonts. Someone mentioned that he had converted a font to one LO had no trouble finding, So I thought I would try and do the same . Downloaded FontForge with the purpose of converting Garamond Adobe fonts to a format which LO 5.4.1.2 can read. When I open the Garamond fonts in Font Forge they are displayed ugmm8a.pfb ugmmi8a.pfb ugmmr8a.pfb ugmmri8a.pfb Clicking on any one of them displays an edit window and I presume that I should be able to convert each to something other than .pfb but have no idea how to do it. I have looked at several utube videos but they do not cover conversion from one font type to another, concentrating upon creating new fonts. I tried to access the fontforge website but after some twenty minutes of waiting for it to load, without success, I gave up. All advice would be welcome, as the Garamond font is used for my business letterhead. zed -- zed Divorce, n.

[libreoffice-users] A Sort problem...
Using LibreOffice 3.3.1 on LinuxMint Debian Edition (LMDE) I have created a spreadsheet in Calc as a Customer database, which I will save as a CSV file and use to create form letters. The columns are: Firstname, Surname, Street, Town, City, Postcode, Salutation. I originally sorted them Surname, Firstname, Town and got what I expected. However, somehow I have made a complete pigs ear with a subsequent sort, and for the life of me I cannot remember the three fields on which I chose to sort, and the Salutation field is now not aligned with the correct surname. For example, the customer name is Faye Abel and the Salutation should be Dear Faye. However it is Dear Marion! My question is, apart from completely retyping the correct Salutation, is there any sort method by which i can have the correct salutation aligned with the correct surname?

[libreoffice-users] LibreOfficeCac...
Using libreoffice vLibreOffice 3.3.0 OOO330m19 (Build:5) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.3, on LinuxMint Debian Edition. Created two columns of figures (a) Col B consists of 34 rows of figures. Rows B9, B16, B20, B29, B34 are total categories, shown as figures not formula. (b) Col C has figures in rows C8, C13, C14, C15, C19, C23. (c) adding the figures in the rows given in (a) above, i.e. =B9+ B16+B20+B29+B34 returns the error #VALUE!. I tried enclosing in brackets with the same result. (d) In Col C. Highlighting rows C5:C34) and then hitting SUM only returns the value of C23. Adding C8+C13+C14+C15+C19+C23 returns the error message #VALUE. Has anyone else come across this, please? It appears to be a bug. Incidentally, I do not have the same problem if I use OpenOffice Calc. All works as expected.

Any further advice would be appreciated. Zed Hi Zed, I would use the .deb packages for now if I were you. I couldn't find any references to LibreOffice in the LMDE community resources. The Ubuntu PPA is bound to have specific tweaks for Ubuntu and if you have any bugs you won't be able to file them there as the bug tracker is for the Ubuntu version running on Ubuntu. OTOH if you use .debs you can file bugs in Mint [1] or upstream at FreeDesktop.org [2]. As Terry and Alexander indicated, you need the lang pack to be installed first.

I did as suggested and installed the packages in the correct order and everything is working, other than that the Spellchecker does not work. In ToolsLanguageSelectText - English (NZ) is checked but when I type a word incorrectly, e.g. color instead of colour, the word is not highlighted as mispelt. Even a series of characters typed at random are not highlighted as incorrect. The only languages shown are English (NZ) and English (USA) even though English (GB) is shown as installed in Synaptic. Any advice how I can get the spell checker working, please? It is probably something I have done incorrectly but I cannot think waht :-( Zed -- Zed Q: Why are Blonde jokes so short?
