@dave_ When I have an expanding set of rows, I include a blank buffer row after the last one, and I include that row in any ranges. If there is a row that will always be outside the range, before the beginning and after the end, and have no data, I will anchor my ranges on that spread.
Then when adding rows, I always use the insert rows feature so that even for new rows on the end of the data, an Insert Row with the buffer row selected will make a new one above the buffer and automatically included in the range. (Of course, inserting at other internal rows of the selection also works just fine to expand the range of the selection.) But that is for data that I build up incrementally. I don't know what your use case is. More complex cases involving special cells with unique flag values take more involved work and I've never needed to do that. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Simon Cropper [mailto:simoncrop...@fossworkflowguides.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2012 16:46 To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: CALC - How to count blank cells?

It appears you are trying to establish the number of rows with data in them for some sort of import/reiteration routine. Maybe what you should be doing is counting how many values in your range using COUNTA(), DCOUNT() or DCOUNTA() rather than looking for the number of blanks, the last cell used and presumably the difference between these two values. -- Cheers Simon [ ... ] -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@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
