Hi

Am trying to solve my case in Oppenoffice so I found a the perfect exemple but its for excel...I tried the formula in Oppenoffice did not work...:

Formula 2. Vlookup multiple matches and return results in a row at link below

https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins- ... ues-excel/

=IFERROR(INDEX($B$3:$B$13, SMALL(IF($D3=$A$3:$A$13, ROW($B$3:$B$13)-2,""), COLUMN()-4)),"")

Could someone kindly please translate this excel formula for openoffice?

Many thanks

Welcome to the Forums.
Open Office does not have the IFERROR function.
For Open Office you need to change that to a nested IF with the first parameter being the ISERROR function. I also don't know about the comparison in the IF that is contained in your SMALL.
Presuming that works, the OpenOffice Calc formula would be An alternative suggestion is to download and install LibreOffice, which supports the IFERROR function and the usage of commas as parameter separators, rather than semi-colons, which OpenOffice uses.

Note:
The AOO/LO Calc is a multiplatform, and multilanguage software.
The comma is the decimal separator in many languages (like the Hungarian and the German languages and others)
Therefore it is better to use the semicolon as parameter separators, instead of the comma in the LibreOffice.

Install https://libreoffice.org and your formula will work with IFERROR and with commas. LibreOffice is the successor to OpenOffice.

I don't think that is correct. An Airbus 380 is not a successor to a Boeing 747 - there is zero relationship between them.

Similarly AOO and LO are completely different products designed and built by completely different organisations and there is zero relationship between them.

I think it is better to say "LibreOffice is a more up to date and continuing to be developed alternative to ApacheOpenOffice".

LO forked from version 3.3. Versions 3.3 of both products were identical.
AOO released 3 more versions with the side bar being the only visible feature compared to 3.3.
LO developed steadily introducing hundreds of improvements and major changes, some of them questionable though. For spreadsheet users, particularly from the anglosaxon sphere, very high compatibility with XL is certainly a valuable set of features.

Thanks for your help!

I'm closer than I was but am getting incorrect results - how to fix formula?

Plz see attached file

thx I did CSE but the curly brackets do not show up and same result...any ideas??

Pivot tables are easy.

Interesting, thx Villeroy for making it right!!

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Docume ... /DataPilot (data pilot and pivot table are the same)

I added column headers above the data, called menu:Data>Pivot>Create... and plotted names in row fields against items in column fields with a data field couting the items.

I think we are in violent agreement and the correct statement is, as you suggest, "LibreOffice is a successor to OpenOffice.org". Similarly, AOO is a successor to OpenOffice.org.
