LibreOfficeDev 24.2 Help
4PUhf‖You can apply user-defined functions in LibreOfficeDev Calc in the following ways:
PER66‖You can define your own functions using the Basic-IDE. This method requires a basic knowledge of programming.
egzia‖You can program functions as add-ins. This method requires an advanced knowledge of programming.
PfDpb‖Choose
.N4uB4‖You will now see the Basic IDE.
jXhZH‖In the Object Catalog window, double-click on the module where you want to store your macro.
G6mwG‖Enter the function code. In this example, we define a VOL(a; b; c) function that calculates the volume of a rectangular solid with side lengths a, b and c:
Function VOL(a, b, c)
VOL = a*b*c
End Function
eXWo3‖Close the Basic-IDE window.
nWiEx‖Your function is automatically saved in the selected module and is now available. If you apply the function in a Calc document that is to be used on another computer, you can copy the function to the Calc document as described in the next section.
Lm54u‖In stage 2 of "Defining A Function Using LibreOfficeDev Basic", in the Macro dialog you clicked on Edit . As the default, in the Macro from field the My Macros - Standard - Module1 module is selected. The Standard library resides locally in your user directory.
DBXEe‖If you want to copy the user-defined function to a Calc document:
FiJEi‖Choose
.HZciB‖In the Macro from field select My Macros - Standard - Module1 and click Edit.
GAARi‖In the Basic-IDE, select the source of your user-defined function and copy it to the clipboard.
GTEs8‖Close the Basic-IDE.
rYyws‖Choose
.oTBX8‖In the Macro from field select (Name of the Calc document) - Standard - Module1. Click Edit.
F2mDo‖Paste the clipboard contents in the Basic-IDE of the document.
cKHUA‖Once you have defined the function VOL(a; b; c) in the Basic-IDE, you can apply it the same way as the built-in functions of LibreOfficeDev Calc.
WtG8F‖Open a Calc document and enter numbers for the function parameters a, b and c in cells A1, B1, and C1.
TTo2C‖Set the cursor in another cell and enter the following:
=VOL(A1;B1;C1)
frbse‖The function is evaluated and you will see the result in the selected cell.
