Copied to James as I cannot tell if he is subscribed.

While a database would be a much better solution, if you insist upon using CALC you
can use multiple worksheets to accomplish what you have asked for.

I am attaching a Calc spreadsheet with the illustration you provided below. It is called JamesTest.ods to illustrate what can be done. Check out the formula in Sheet1
cell C2, and then look at Sheet2 to see the reference.

I am a long time list member but have recently installed a satellite dish, so this address might come up as not belonging to the list.

I have a cash book which is a Calc spreadsheet (latest version), so it has the usual columns:
DATE   TRANSACTION-DETAIL  AMOUNT   BALANCE

Sometimes you will have one bank deposit transaction which includes payments from several customers:

DATE   TRANSACTION  AMOUNT
13/4/06   Receipts                $297.50

but this $297.50 might constitute several payments, like this
INV 1233 Smith  $100.00
INV 1250 Jones   $  76.00
INV 1413 Brown $121.50

What I want to do is to insert a 5 row, 4 column spreadsheet inside the transaction detail cell of my main spreadsheet so that I can split the transaction total into its component parts. That way, if I want to know if Mr Jones has paid I can simply search for "INV 1250", or "Jones", or "76.00"

Can this be done?

Kind regards,  James
