Re: Is Apache Open Office good for sales tax service spreadsheets?
I'd use the database component of AOO, called Base. If you've used MS Access before, you shouldn't have a problem. If you're pretty tech savvy you can probably do a tutorial or two and get a good start. Failing that, I'd get someone who knows databases to walk you through them. T-Mobile.

Re: AOO can't open .xlsx spreadsheet at Cornell site

I downloaded it as well. I hope it doesn't contain personal data. If it does, I will delete it. On the other hand, if it doesn't, can we use it as an attachment to an issue? This would be helpful to troubleshoot this problem. Thanks. The spreadsheet at the Cornell site doesn't contain any personal data; it can be used for troubleshooting purposes, or any other. I've had various suggestions and received several remedies. To summarize: the .xlsx file can apparently be read in OO 3.1.1 (someone who was able to do so saved it as a .ods and sent it on to me); the .xlsx file apparently can be read in AOO 4.0.1 (someone who was able to do so offered to save it as a .ods and send it on to me); yes, the .csv file can be taken into AOO or Excel to create an equivalent spreadsheet but you lose the color coding that is in the .xlsx which helps when scrolling through the data and the references from the second sheet of the .xlsx file don't seem to be present in the .csv file. I now have a version of the Cornell file in .ods format that serves my purposes. Thanks to all of you for your comments and suggestions. What a great group of people you are!

I am writing a document on a Calc guide for accountants and financial people. Tools such as Validity, Goal Seek and formulas like vlookup can help you work with many of the things you need to be done.

For a small shop, using AOO would be feasible. But as Tom Goldie said below, a database should be employed if you're acquiring lots of data. Spreadsheets do well on small data sets, but beyond a certain point they get unwieldly, then become unusable. You've got only 65,534 rows (records) to work with in a spreadsheet; many more records are possible in a database.

Re: VLOOKUP vs Macros

The first worksheet has the bonuses for employees in this format ID, Sales Agent, Sales For Date, Bonus for Date, Sales for Date(N), Bonus For Date (N). . . The rest of the spreadsheets are each named for the date of sales that they contain. They are in the same format as the column header for Sales For Date. I set up each row like this ID static, Agent name static, =COUNTIF(*staticdateworksheet*!ColumnWithIDFirstRow:ColumnWithIDNthRow,Firstcolumnrowiamin),BonusCalculation What I'd like to do is change that formula around to resolve the sheet name by the first row of the salescount ID (i.e. if It's 9-27-2013 it would pull up 9-27-2013, 9-28-2013, etc.).

Needed: more keyboard shortcuts! (Writer at least) - Mac OSX
Not only is there no keyboard shortcut to the menubar categories [File, Edit, View, Insert…] but there are no shortcuts for insert mark - and the insert menu item doesn't have a - to open a secondary menu for insert. I find I need line breaks and column breaks regularly in some of the stuff I'm writing. It's a PITA to have to use 4 (count them, 4) mouse clicks. The OK button (once you have selected the type of mark) isn't even responsive to the enter key:-( tnx -- Julian Thomas j...@jt-mj.net - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Re: OpenOffice and Zotero
OK. I'll attempt to do just that. On the other hand, I am inclined to think that AOO would carry more weight than a pensioned academic. So, why not both AOO and me? Tom On 29.
