I have a collumn with this contend inside:
=sheet1.F8
=sheet1.F15
=sheet1.F22
Normally in the excel I select the three cells and pull down, excel understand the logic and the next cell above will be "sheet1.F29". But if I do this in Libreoffice it puts "sheet1.F11".
Do you have any idea of how to do this ? (I have several sheets like this logic and I'd like to use Libreoffice instead Excel).
I found a workaround and replying here:
It is setting the reference to “F11” because the first row contains a reference to F8 and the new entry is 3 rows beneath this i.e., the offset is based on the first cell of the selection, thus 8+3=11. A workaround is to use the addresses of the destination and combine this with the INDIRECT() function. For example, create a separate column with “Sheet1.F8”, “Sheet1.F15”, and Sheet1.F22” etc. Highlight and drag this column of values to obtain a column of correct address references. Then adjacent to this use (given “Sheet1.F8” in sheet 2 cell A1) =INDIRECT(A1) in B1. Now drag this down the B column to obtain the required values.

I have a collection of addresses on one LibreOffice Calc sheet (7 columns, 1st name, 2nd street and so one) and want to create an invoice template on another sheet.
I know how to retrieve and transpose a known row - the solution on this other question explains that: Transpose column on one sheet to row on another, with linking
However, this does not seem to work if I use Data > Validity to fill the first cell in the address area (7 cells below each other).
What I am basically trying to accomplish is a dropdown in the first cell where I select the name and it automatically retrieves the address from the other sheet into the cells below.
Is this possible or am I overthinking here?
I suggest:
Name the data in your first column (eg CName)
Name your array of data (eg Clients)
Set the Source for Validity Criteria to CName
Assuming the validation is in A1, in A2 and copied down to suit:
=VLOOKUP(A$1,Clients,ROW()-0,0)
The -0 is not required if the validation is in Row1 but is where an offset should be made if not.
I have the following formula in my Excel 2013 spreadsheet:
=SUMIFS(Employees!$T$2:$T$1114, Employees!$L$2:$L$1114, $A5, Employees!$J$2:$J$1114, 1, Employees!$Q$2:$Q$1114, "N", Employees!$K$2:$K$1114, C$3)
It is summing column T based on certain criteria. Looking at Employees!$T$2:$T$1114 as an example, I have a header row, so I start at T2. I then select all the cells in that column. which currently ends at 1114. The problem is, that number can change.
If I want to remove the hard-coding and just select all the cells that contain data in that column, then sum that data based on this criteria, how would I change this?
If the header above T isn't sumable, and/or the header above L isn't a valid criteria, then it won't matter if they are included in the sum_range and criteria_range, respectively. In that case, you can specify entire columns, like Employees!$T:$T, and not worry about where the data starts or ends.
=SUMIFS($A:$A, $B:$B, G2)
If there is data above the desired part of T, you could add another criteria to avoid it, for instance, by using an additional (hidden) column with markers.
Edit: This question relates to the "old" google spreadsheets that were current in 2013.
Is it possible to use named ranges in google spreadsheet charts?
I need to dynamically update the dimension (starting position and size) of a range and be able to reflect it in a chart, i.e. I need the chart source range to follow the position of moved source data range.
Extra information:
I've got two sheets. One has a header followed by 'input' row and data rows. When I type anything into 'input' row my script automatically adds a row just after this one and moves my new input there, therefore creating new row of data.
About chart: If I assign a data range that includes only data rows, new row won't be included because whole 'old' range got shifted. $ sign is ignored when specifying data range. So what I'm doing is to include in the range my 'input' + 1 header row. They have no values so in the chart you cannot see data points in the first two positions. I'm using a combo chart with another range from another sheet that has no header, so it looks like this:
(usually there is some value for the green histogram right at the origin of the chart).
So the line chart is shifted by two positions to the right, but it should start from position 0, so I want the chart to somehow follow the range or to redefine it, so it always stars from the first data row. I hope it makes sense.
Charts use range as argument, have you tried to simply use getRangeByName to define the range ?
Charts don't support named ranges. However, you can set up your chart so that the source data range is an entire column (for example, Sheet1!D:D). Then the chart will show all the values in that column, taking into account even rows that you will add (or delete) after chart creation. If the first rows (for example 4) contain table headers you can specify something like Sheet1!D5:D as your source data range
In searching for this, I found a solution I thought I'd share.
I have a set of data from which I'd like to create a set of charts. My fairly simple workaround was to create a new tab for each chart with a pivot table to pull in my data based on my criteria for each chart. I inserted a row at the top to hold a SUM of my values in the pivot table below, rather than referencing the moving "Total" cell in the pivot table itself.
Note: I hid the title row of the pivot table and unchecked the "Totals" within it to get the SUM to work correctly. Hope this helps someone!
I have a spreadsheet that has quite a few tables and I wonder what would be the formula to lookup table name from cell in iWork Numbers? For example I have table with name TableA, inside of that table I want to put something like "=$B1" or whatever to get the name "January01" in it. Just typing it is not acceptable, cause those table names will change for multiple day of the month (we planning to have 30-31 tables in one spreadsheet and have 12 spreadsheets for number of months).
It is possible to use text in another cell to specify a sheet and/or table name in the cell or range address within a formula in another cell.
You can use the INDIRECT function.
"The INDIRECT function returns the contents of a cell or range
referenced by an address specified as a string value."
from the iWork Numbers function browser
Example:
Assume the cells in column A of a particular table contain the names of the sheets in the workbook.
In column B you could count the number of cells that contain the text 'equal' in column D of Table 1 in each sheet using:
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT($A2&"::Table 1::$D", 1),"=equal")
Here the sheet name is specified in column A so the formula can be used for the entire column without having to manually edit the formula to specify the sheet name.
According to this support forum entry that is not possible. Came across it as I was looking for a solution to the same problem.
This is a very old thread, but here is how to get the table name:
You need to use the REFERENCE.NAME function to get the name of the table (plus some extraneous info, that you get rid of by using the TEXTBEFORE function).
TEXTBEFORE(REFERENCE.NAME(SomeTableName::$A$1,1),":")
The entry "SomeTableName::$A$1" is a random cell reference (in this case cell A1) from the table whose name you are interested to get. During formula entry, you merely click on a cell of the table in question to generate this reference, and then lock cell column and row, as needed.
The parameter "1" following the cell reference tells the REFERENCE.NAME function to return the name of the table and the cell name. There is no option to return just the table name.
The TEXTBEFORE function truncates the returned string to everything before the first colon, returning just the table name.
Is it possible to have add a row to an SSRS 2008 Matrix that spans all of the matrix's columns?
This crude diagram shows roughly what I'm looking for:
The basic idea is that each line item is a person, and each column is a field in a form for that person. The fields themselves are dynamic (and implemented as column groups on the matrix). Additional column groups are included to append non-dynamic form fields, like the time the record was entered and who entered it. Under each person's record is a comments field, which should span all of the form fields above it.
At the moment I have the matrix embedded in another tablix, with the name and fields in the matrix and the comments in the parent tablix. This works for the data (each instance of the matrix ends up being one row), but the header repeats too often (once per person) because it's attached to the matrix. The only thought I have as to how to fix this is to create another matrix in the parent tablix with the same grouping and use it to display the headers... But this will require quite a lot of manual synchronization to keep the two matrices the same.
Edit: The key problem here is making the second row span multiple column groups.
Here's what you can do:
Select the column grouping you want to add above and right click and select
Add Group... Parent Group...
Group the column by something that will not aggregate the data. You'll have to select a field from your dataset to group by so that it creates an overlapping column grouping.
Check the Add group header box
You should now see something similar to this:
Now you just need to move the Value1 field and it's header over under the new column to the right beyond the matrix dividers. Once that's done, simply delete the ungrouped column where you just copied Value1 from and be sure to select Delete columns only checkbox.
Your finished product should look like this:
It is possible - And the above answers are partial answers leaving out one key step: Merging the cells of the child row.
First, right click on your grouped row, then select Insert Row -> Inside Group - Below and you will get two rows with the cells aligning on the columns
Second, ctrl click all the cells in your new row (ie row without the data) then right click on one of the highlighted cells, and then select Merge Cells.
Now you have the table you like. To add a value to the new row: first right click your new (multi column) cell,select Create Placeholder, and then add the dataset item you desire to the placeholder.
[Edit]
After several attempts, I'm going to say this isn't possible in SSRS. The best I could come up with is a group footer that spans columns 1,2, and 3, but not the User column.
[Original Response]
I recently did something similar to this.
First, what tool are you using to create SSRS reports? (I used SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio)
You'll want to create a row group (grouped on Person)
Append a row to your table in "Design" view (Right click, "Insert Row --> Inside Group - Below").
Add an expression to the row that pulls the value for your "Comment" column (=Fields!Comment.Value).
Let me know if that helps...
Try adding in you column group "header" with a grouping expression of (1=1). Then a detail field will need to be defined. If you define the other group with correct data then the "header" will stretch across all details columns. You may need to merger depending on other options.
The easiest way to do this is to create a Tablix with only one column, and your row grouping.
Then, you create two rows inside this group.
In the first row inside the group, you insert a Matrix, wich you can then subgroup as you prefer.
I just had a similar problem, and this was my solution.
I banged my head against the wall for a lot of time, until i realized the solution to my problem wasn't "making a cell span multiple column groups", but "making a cell split into multiple column groups".
You can accomplish the goal by using a subreport for each person. The subreport will receive the employee id and create the hierarchy for you. Make sure your subreport column widths match the widths of the parent report.
