Like so often, the simple solution involves the Base component. File>New>Database... [X] Connect to existing db Type: <Spreadsheet> Specify your spreadsheet document and if it requires a password [X] Register db Save the so called "database document". So far it is a mere configuration file. Your editable data remain in the spreadsheet file. The "database tables" reflect the used data ranges of the sheets or the defined database ranges (Calc:Data>Define...). You can hide some of the pseudo-tables if they do not contain adequate data structures. In any Writer document (or even Calc) you can hit F4 and drag the spreadsheet table from the left pane of the data source window into your document. The import dialog provides some formatting options for the resulting table and which columns should be included. Simple queries added to the database configuration let you recombine any collection of rows and columns in any order of rows and columns. Queries are virtual tables and can be used just like the original sheet tables (used ranges of sheets and data ranges). -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Copy-calc-data-to-writer-table-tp3263380p3270313.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@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
