[Solved] Can't use MIN or MAX in my macro function

I have a OO BASIC function in which I'm trying to use MIN the way you would in a spreadsheet cell (swapping ; for , of course), and every time I enter a call to the function in a cell, it gives me a runtime error, saying "Sub-procedure or function procedure not defined", pointing me to the line with the MIN call. Do I have to add a line to import a library or something? Thanks and sorry if this has been answered elsewhere...

Calc functions usable in calc formulas have nothing to do with OO Basic functions. AFAIK, there is no Min/max in OO Basic. You have to define it yourself

I think the MIN function can be used in a macro. Here are two examples.
Code: Select all
Sub Exmpl1
Dim Data(4)
Data(0) = 15
Data(1) = 53
Data(2) = 3
Data(3) = -43
Data(4) = 5
svc = createUnoService( "com.sun.star.sheet.FunctionAccess" )
MinValue = svc.callFunction("Min",Data())
Print MinValue
End Sub
Sub Exmpl2
Sheet = ThisComponent.Sheets.getByIndex(0)
oCellRange = Sheet.getCellRangeByName("A1:A10")
svc = createUnoService( "com.sun.star.sheet.FunctionAccess" )
arg = Array(oCellRange)
MinValue = svc.callFunction("Min",arg)
Print MinValue
End Sub

Expanding on my last post a bit, you can access any spreadsheet function with the com.sun.star.sheet.FunctionAccess service. You just have to pass it the function name and the arguments of the function in an array. You can use the Vlookup function like this.
Code: Select all
Sub Exmpl3
Sheet = ThisComponent.Sheets.getByIndex(0)
oCellRange = Sheet.getCellRangeByName("A1:B10")
SearchValue = Sheet.getCellRangeByName("C1").getString()
Column = 2
Mode = 0
svc = createUnoService( "com.sun.star.sheet.FunctionAccess" )
arg = Array(SearchValue, oCellRange, Column, Mode)
Value = svc.callFunction("VLOOKUP",arg)
Print Value
End Sub
You can even use an array function, such as the FREQUENCY function. Naturally, you get an array back in that case.
Code: Select all
FreqArray = array(oCellRange, oCellRange2)
oCellRange3.setData(svc.callFunction( "FREQUENCY", FreqArray ))

That seems to work, thanks very much! Now I just need to figure out how to not get an error message for EVERY instance of a syntax error in my function's evaluation...

I can't use this code in my data calc. I have some data in sheet (0) in the range cell (A1:A1000) but when I run this macro, the results of 'print minvalue' didn't show anything..Do you have an example that works??I mean in ods file...

You really had me confused for a while.The problem is that the name of the procedure is the same as the name of the variable you are trying to print. Both are called MaxValue. Try
Code: Select all
Sub MaxValue
Sheet = ThisComponent.Sheets.getByIndex(0)
oCellRange = Sheet.getCellRangeByName("A16:A40")
svc = createUnoService( "com.sun.star.sheet.FunctionAccess" )
arg = Array(oCellRange)
MaximumValue = svc.callFunction("Max",arg)
Print MaximumValue
End Sub

Yes, it's now working.Thanks a lot...FJCC
Indeed..It's an easy simple things to solved but sometimes we often think too far and forget the basic case.
Sorry, English lang is not my native.

Hi! I have a problem in macro scripting. Is WORKDAY function available? I don't know exactly how to write it on vb.
Code: Select all
REM ***** BASIC *****
Sub Main
Dim svc As Object
Dim result
Dim oDate As Date
Dim oValueAdd
Dim oHolidayRange
Doc = ThisComponent 'refers to the whole file as object
Request = Doc.Sheets(0)
HolidayList = Doc.Sheets(1)
oDataRange = Request.getCellRangeByName("E1:E1000")
oHolidayRange = HolidayList.getCellRangeByName("A1:A1000")
oDate = Request.getCellRangeByName("B3").Value()
oValueAdd = Request.getCellRangeByName("B2")
'test = array(oDate,oValueAdd,oHolidayRange)
svc = createUnoService("com.sun.star.sheet.FunctionAccess")
result = svc.callFunction("WORKDAY",Array(oDate,oValueAdd,oHolidayRange))
'result = workday(test)
MsgBox(result)
End Sub

What is the meaning of all this? Why can't you use a simple spreadsheet? The purpose of spreadsheet software is that non-programmers do not have to write any programs to calculate weekdays, minimums, maximums etc.
Obviously you are not a programmer.

Hello Sir Villeroy, sorry but I am a beginner dev and I'm new in macro scripting.
I am developing a template that generates multiple requests to be uploaded in a system.
I need WORKDAY to compute due date for each request. Would you know how to implement WORKDAY in macro?.... Thanks.

Have you used the Forum search (top right of forum window) to search for Workday? There are a number of threads on the subject.

Here is an example of using WORKDAY() in a macro.
Code: Select all
oSheet = ThisComponent.Sheets.getByName("Sheet3")
StartDate = oSheet.getCellrangeByName("A1").Value
DaysToAdd = oSheet.getCellrangeByName("B1").Value
oHolidays = oSheet.getCellrangeByName("C1:C2")
svc = createUnoService("com.sun.star.sheet.FunctionAccess")
result = svc.callFunction("WORKDAY",Array(StartDate,DaysToAdd,oHolidays))
print result

No, I only know how to implement such things
without macros.

Thanks FJCC! I discovered that I am already implementing correct set of codes/syntax (same as yours)
I was encountering issues because my range in Holidays includes the column name/header.
it should be "E2:E30" and not "E1:E30"
Thank you so much everyone!

This is the kind of problem which can be cleared up easily by entering the equivalent formula into a spreadsheet cell. You did not even tell us why you think that something is wrong with your code (in fact there is nothing wrong with it). No error message, no actual sheet data, no debugging result, nothing.
