Hi.
My Mac has LO 5.1..., My Linux 5.3...
When I add the connection on my Mac as in my earlier test I get a
formula like
='file:///mnt/public/Documents/Global/List of CDs.ods'#$Sheet1.C11
I don't get any error, it calculates fine on creation of the formula,
but cannot get it to update if the source changes.
I will update my Mac to 5.4 and see if that changes anything, but I
would assume if the file is an ods then adding a new formula should
result in ods formatting.
BUT from a few years ago I found
"I think the issue is the separator between sheet name and address "!",
First option)
Change Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice/Formula/Formula options/Formula
syntax -> Excel A1."
So may be check Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice/Formula/Formula
options/Formula syntax

Thank you for testing this, Steve.
I tried what you suggested near the beginning of my testing and tried
it again just now. When I follow your instructions, I get an ERR:507.
I've tried following the instructions that Remy provided [The link
was inserted as per the instructions in the help
(https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Referencing_a_Cell_in_Another_Document)]
but I get completely different looking formula. There is no "green
check mark" as per the help instructions either.
Within the same spreadsheet I get similar, ie. ='tab'!cell This does
work.
To reference a spreadsheet outside of the present spreadsheet,
where Remy gets:
='file:///mnt/public/Documents/Global/List of CDs.ods'#$Sheet1.C11
on Linux
I get:
=['file:///users/me/folder/spreadsheet.ods']'tab'!i54
This isn't what the help file shows either.
Could this be something due to the fact that this started out as an
Excel file but was saved as an ods sometime over the past months?
I'm confused.

Just tried on my mac.
Open the sheet I want to perform the calculation in.
Open the source sheet from which I want to fetch the data
Enter the formula in a cell in the first sheet, i.e =2*
then click in the source cell in the second sheet,
then click enter and it seems to work.

Hello all,
I've been struggling with this one for a week now. Google hasn't
been my friend so far so thought I'd ask the user group.
LO 5.4.2.2 Mac 64 Bit.
I have a spreadsheet (originally in xls but now ods) where data is
provided to a summary spreadsheet.
I am unable to get the syntax to link the cells in the two
spreadsheets on my Mac.
I've tried, single and double quotes for file location, "." or "!"
for identifying the source cell but nothing seems to work. I get
ERR:507/ERR:508/ERR:501/ERR:510 and occasionally #NAME?#
The file names have spaces as do the tab in the spreadsheet.
I've tried the =HYPERLINK(file:///... and ='file:///...' commands
but that doesn't work.
I've also tried the Insert Hyperlink but that won't let me select
the cell in target spreadsheet.
I'm loath to go back to Excel for this one spreadsheet but I've
been linking spreadsheets in Excel for so long and it works.
I'd appreciate any Mac specific guidance.
Bunk3m.
