After asking trivial questions, I had him write a macro:
question:
answer:Write a Basic Calc macro that calculates the sum of two cells
question:Here is a macro that adds the contents of cells A1 and A2 and writes the result into cell A3
SubSumCells()
Dim value1 As Double
Dim value2 As Double
value1 = Range("A1").Value
value2 = Range("A2").Value
Range("A3").Value = value1 + value2
End Sub
In the macro I have defined two variables, value1 and value2, of type double to contain the values of cells A1 and A2. This makes the code more readable and less prone to errors.
To run the macro, select the cell where you want to write the result, then press "Alt + F8" to open the macro window. Select the "SumCells" macro and click "Run". The result of the sum will be written in cell A3.
answer:Your macros always give error: basic runtime error- undefined subprocedure
Sorry you're having an error with the macros I've provided. The "sub procedure not defined" error occurs when your code references a sub procedure or function that has not been defined correctly.
To fix this, check if the macro was written correctly and if all variables are defined. Also, check if the subroutine name is correct and if the macro ran correctly.
If the problem persists, try restarting the spreadsheet or copying and pasting the macro again to check for typos or formatting errors.
If you need further assistance, I recommend providing more details about the error you are having, including the macro code and full error message, so I can help you better.
question:
answer:The error is reported on line: value1 = Range("A1").Value
question:The "undefined subprocedure" error you are getting may be caused by a problem with the OpenOffice Basic libraries reference.
To fix this, try adding the following line of code to the beginning of your macro, just after the "SubSumCells()" line:
Dim document As Object
document = ThisComponent
In this way, you are declaring a variable called "document" and assigning it the value "ThisComponent", which refers to the current document of the Calc worksheet. This should fix the library reference issue and allow you to access the cells in your spreadsheet.
Also make sure you have selected the right cell before running the macro. For example, if you want the sum to be written to cell A3, select this cell before running the macro.
Hope this can help you solve the problem. If the problem persists, let me know and I'll try to help you further.
answer:The error repeats again at line: value1 = Range("A1").Value
question:If the error occurs again at line value1 = Range("A1").Value, there may be a problem with the OpenOffice Basic libraries reference.
To fix this, try replacing the line value1 = Range("A1").Value with the following line:
value1 = ThisComponent.Sheets(0).getCellRangeByName("A1").Value
This code refers to the first sheet (Sheets(0)) of the current document (ThisComponent) and gets the value of cell A1 using the getCellRangeByName method.
Also try to verify that your macro was saved in the correct module of your spreadsheet and that the name of the macro exactly matches the name you used to call it.
I hope these tips help you fix the problem. If the problem persists, let me know and I will try to help you further.
answer:Okay now, I changed the macro for cell A2 as well. How do I edit the macro for cell A3?
question:To edit the macro for cell A3, you can simply add a new variable and assign the value of cell A3 to it, as follows:
SubSumCells()
Dim value1 As Double
Dim value2 As Double
Dim value3 As Double
value1 = ThisComponent.Sheets(0).getCellRangeByName("A1").Value
value2 = ThisComponent.Sheets(0).getCellRangeByName("A2").Value
ThisComponent.Sheets(0).getCellRangeByName("A3").Value = value1 + value2
End Sub
answer:It's ok now, it works perfectly
question:Great, glad I could help! If you need help in the future, don't hesitate to ask.
