Consolidating data
Data Consolidation allows you to gather together your data from
separate worksheets into a master worksheet. In other words, the
Data Consolidation function takes data from a series of worksheets
or workbooks and summaries it into a single worksheet that you
can update easily.
The data from the consolidation ranges and target range are saved
when you save the worksheet. If you later open a worksheet in
which consolidation has been defined, this data will again be
available. It is available under Data menu->Consolidate option
Creating subtotals.

SUBTOTAL is a function listed under the Mathematical category when
you use the Function Wizard (Insert > Function). Because of its
usefulness, the function has a graphical interface. It is accessible
from Data menu
When you click OK, Calc adds subtotals and grand totals to the
selected arrays, using the Result and Result2 cell styles for them. It
is available under Data -> Subtotals
Scenarios
Scenarios are a tool to test “what-if” questions. Each scenario is
named, and can be edited and formatted separately. When you
print the spreadsheet, only the content of the currently active
scenario is printed.
Creating scenarios
To create a scenario, select all the cells that provide the
data for the scenario.
Tools > Scenarios
Goal Seek
Using Goal Seek option under Tools menu, you can discover what
values will produce the result that you want.
Tools > Goal Seek reverses the usual order for a formula.
Usually, you run a formula to get the result when certain
arguments are entered. By contrast, with Goal Seek, you
work with a completed formula to see what values you need
in an argument to get the results that you want.
If you want the argument to remain unchanged, you enter a rule that
the cell that contains it should be equal to its current entry.
For arguments that you would like to change, you need to add two
rules to define a range of possible values:
the limiting conditions : For example, you can set the constraint that
one of the variables or cells must not be bigger than another
variable, or not bigger than a given value. You can also define the
constraint that one or more variables must be integers or binary
values.
Identifying sheets
There are several ways to insert a new sheet. The first step, in all
cases, is to select the sheet that will be next to the new sheet. Then
do any of the following:
Renaming Worksheets
If you prefer, select the Link option to insert the external sheet as a
link instead as a copy. This is one of several ways to include “live”
data from another spreadsheet. The links can be updated manually to
show the current contents of the external file; or, depending on the
In one or several formulas, you can use a cell reference to refer to:
Calc can link different files together. The process is the same, but
we add one more parameter to indicate which file the sheet is in.
Typing the reference is simple once you know the format the
reference takes. The reference has three parts to it: Path and file
name . Sheet name . Cell name
You can insert tables from HTML documents, and data located within
named ranges from an OpenOffice.org Calc or Microsoft Excel
spreadsheet, into a Calc spreadsheet
You can do this in two ways: using the External Data dialog or
using the Navigator.
This message appears because someone else already has the file
open. Sometimes however, it is necessary to have multiple people
working on a file at the same time. This can be to either speed up
data entry or simply make things easier for collaboration purposes.
At any time, you can set up a spreadsheet for sharing with others.
With the spreadsheet document open, choose Tools > Share
● If the worksheet was not modified and saved by another user since
you opened it, the worksheet is saved.
Calc has the feature to track what data was changed, when the
change was made, who made the change and in which cell the
change has occurred. Edit > Changes > Record from the menu bar.
A colored border, with a dot in the upper left-hand corner, appears
around a cell where changes were made. Other reviewers then
quickly know which cells were edited. A deleted column or row is
marked by a heavy colored bar.
When you receive a worksheet back with changes, the beauty of the
recording changes system becomes evident. Now, as the original
author, you can step through each change and decide how to
proceed. To begin this process: Edit > Changes > Accept or Reject
