Hi :) Many, many people do "goof on the resend". The mailing-lists here are set-up to ensure that it does happen. Glad you noticed and were able to fix it. Most people don't realise! Apache are far better at supporting Base. Here we rely on a few regulars who happen to be extremely good with it but they don't seem to have been around this weekend. Sorry! :( Apache forums seem quite happy answering questions about LibreOffice. Unfortunately they seem to have 1 forum that is over-run by spammers and 1 that is excellent and i never remember which is which. A google search gave me this forum; https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/ with this section for Base; https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewforum.php?f=13 This section has some example databases (perhaps worth modifying?) https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewforum.php?f=100 This thread seems to cover how to use Calc for a Form/Report https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=18511 but sadly doesn't cover the final step of showing how to build a chart from there. My guess is that the chart would be fairly easy from where that thread finishes. Apache have further documentation; https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Database Note that a LOT of the resources Apache has were originally developed by people who are now in LibreOffice and that there are quite a few people who work in both projects. There are also video tutorials http://www.spoken-tutorial.org/list_videos?view=1&foss=LibreOffice-Suite-Base&language=English from a project funded by the Indian Government. The quality of English is excellent and it's rare to find one with any hint of an accent (unfortunately). I think they take quality very seriously despite but are still quite a friendly organisation. We should advertise these tutorials more widely imo. Regards from Tom :) On 23 June 2014 07:48, Charles-H. Schulz < charles.schulz@documentfoundation.org> wrote:
Hello Dave, Nope it is the same module although it is being updated. Best, Charles. On 22 juin 2014 23:48:03 CEST, dave boland <dboland9@fastmail.fm> wrote:Yes, I have used charts in Calc. However, it looks like Charts is being pulled out as a new module, not just in Calc. http://www.libreoffice.org/discover/charts/ Dave, On Sun, Jun 22, 2014, at 04:19 PM, Charles-H.

I have 4.1, but the Charts module is not included, so my guess is that it is part of the new release next month. Anyway, does anyone familiar with Charts think that this may be an answer?

So the first question is can I do that with Base and Calc? This needs to be automated so that each day I run a report on the current data and get the report. I have no problem with using LO scripting language if needed, I just need to know that this can be done and general ly how. If the answer is that it can't be done, or would require extensive work, then waht are the alternatives? I looked at MariaDb, but did not see any built-in tools to do what I want. As I mentioned in the original post, I'm fine with using Base and an external program like R if it can produce waht I want.
