00:01 | Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Linking Calc Data. |
00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn: |
00:09 | How to reference other sheets and Insert hyperlinks in Calc |
00:16 | This tutorial is recorded using
Ubuntu Linux OS version 18.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 6.3.5 |
00:29 | LibreOffice Calc allows you to reference
A cell from sheet to a cell in another sheet |
00:36 | A cell from another spreadsheet |
00:39 | Let’s open Personal Finance Tracker dot ods. |
00:44 | This file has been provided to you in the Code files link on this tutorial page.
Please download and extract the file. |
00:55 | Make its copy and use it for practising. |
00:59 | Now, let us find the sum total of the components under Spent and Received. |
01:07 | Click on the cell C8. |
01:10 | Click on the little black box that is visible at the bottom-right corner of the cell. |
01:17 | Drag it till cell E8 and release the mouse button. |
01:22 | Now, we will display the total balance under Cost and Spent on a different sheet. |
01:30 | We will do this using cell referencing. |
01:34 | Let’s go to Sheet 3. |
01:37 | Now click on cell A1 and type the heading as COMPONENT inside it. |
01:45 | Click on cell B1 and type the heading BALANCE inside it. |
01:51 | Now, let’s type the names of the components under this heading. |
01:57 | Click on the cell A3 and type COST and press Enter. |
02:04 | Below COST, let’s type the next component as SPENT in cell A4. |
02:11 | Now, click on the empty cell B3. |
02:16 | The cells B3 and B4 will have the total balance under the headings COST and SPENT. |
02:25 | It has already been calculated in Sheet 1.
This will be done by referencing. |
02:33 | Let’s make the cell reference in cell B3. |
02:38 | Click on the equal to sign named Formula next to the Input line. |
02:44 | Now, on the Sheet tab click on Sheet 1. |
02:50 | In this sheet, we will click on cell C8 which contains the total for Cost. |
02:57 | Notice that in the Input line, the statement $Sheet 1 dot C8, is displayed. |
03:06 | Now click on the check mark named Accept next to the Input line. |
03:12 | Notice that we redirected back to Sheet 3. |
03:17 | And the grand total in Sheet 1 is automatically filled in cell B3 of Sheet 3. |
03:25 | Similarly, we can enter the grand totals of other components through referencing. |
03:35 | Referencing is very useful to summarise data if there are many sheets. |
03:42 | Now, let’s learn how to insert Hyperlinks in Calc sheets. |
03:48 | Hyperlink within documents are words or phrases that can be clicked. |
03:55 | On clicking them, we jump to
a new document or a new section within the current document or Even to a webpage. |
04:08 | In this file, our main data is in Sheet 1 and the rest of the content in Sheet 3. |
04:16 | Let’s say we want to jump from Sheet 1 to Sheet 3. |
04:21 | First, click on the Sheet 1 tab. |
04:25 | Here let’s click on cell B10 and type Sheet 3. |
04:31 | You see that the name Sheet 3 is displayed on the Input line. |
04:37 | Now select the text Sheet 3 in the Input Line. |
04:42 | After selecting the text, click on the Insert Hyperlink icon in the Standard toolbar. |
04:50 | The Hyperlink dialog box appears. |
04:54 | On the left side, click on Document. |
04:58 | Under Target in Document section, click on the circle icon to the right. |
05:05 | The Target in Document list box opens. |
05:09 | Expand Sheets by clicking on the arrow and select Sheet 3. |
05:15 | Click on the Apply button and then on Close button. |
05:20 | In the Hyperlink dialog box, in the Target field we see the text Sheet 3. |
05:26 | We also see that the path of Sheet 3 gets inserted in the URL field. |
05:33 | At the bottom, click on the Apply button first and then on the Close button. |
05:39 | Now the text Sheet 3 is highlighted in the cell. |
05:44 | Click anywhere outside to deselect the cell. |
05:48 | Keep the cursor on the word Sheet 3.
And press the Ctrl key and the left mouse-button together. |
05:57 | We have been redirected to Sheet 3. |
06:01 | Let us go back to Sheet 1. |
06:04 | To remove the hyperlink, first click on the cell B10 in Sheet 1 |
06:10 | Right-click on the cell and select Clear Direct Formatting from the context menu. |
06:17 | Alternatively, we can click on the Clear Direct Formatting icon in the Standard Toolbar. |
06:24 | The text is no longer hyperlinked.
It is just like any normal text in the spreadsheet. |
06:32 | Next we will learn how to create a hyperlink to an external file. |
06:38 | For this demonstration, I will be using the file Contact hyphen Details dot ods |
06:46 | The same is available in the Code Files link. |
06:50 | Please download and save it in the folder where you have saved Personal Finance Tracker dot ods |
06:58 | Let us go back to Personal Finance Tracker dot ods |
07:03 | Click on cell B10 and type Contact Details. |
07:08 | Now select the text Contact Details in the Input Line. |
07:13 | After selecting the text, click on the Insert Hyperlink icon in the Standard toolbar. |
07:20 | The Hyperlink dialog box appears. |
07:24 | To create a hyperlink to another spreadsheet or document, click on the Document option. |
07:31 | Click on the folder icon on the right of the Path field. |
07:36 | Select Desktop location.
Scroll down and locate the new spreadsheet Contact Details dot ods which we had saved. |
07:46 | Now, double-click on the “Contact Details dot ods” file. |
07:51 | We see that the path to the file gets inserted in the Path field. |
07:57 | At the bottom, click on the Apply button first and then on the Close button. |
08:03 | Now the text Contact Details is highlighted in the cell. |
08:08 | Click anywhere outside to deselect the cell. |
08:12 | We see that the text "Contact Details" is blue in color. |
08:18 | Which means the text is now a hyperlink. |
08:22 | Keep the cursor on the word Contact Details.
And press the Ctrl key and the left mouse-button together. |
08:31 | We see that the file Contact Details dot ods opens up. |
08:36 | Click on the X icon at the top right corner to close this file. |
08:41 | Let us undo these changes. |
08:44 | Hyperlinking to a web page is similar. |
08:48 | Click on cell B10 and type Spoken |
08:52 | Now select the text Spoken in the Input Line. |
08:57 | After selecting the text, click on the Insert Hyperlink icon in the Standard toolbar. |
09:04 | The Hyperlink dialog box appears. |
09:08 | In the Hyperlink dialog box, by default, the Internet section is selected in the left pane. |
09:15 | In the Hyperlink Type section, the Web radio button is also selected. |
09:12 | Now in the URL field, type https://spoken-tutorial.org |
09:31 | At the bottom, click on the Apply button and then on the Close button. |
09:37 | Click anywhere outside to deselect the cell. |
09:41 | Observe that the text Spoken becomes a hyperlinked text. |
09:47 | For the next part of this demonstration, you will need internet connectivity.
If you don’t have it, then skip this part. |
09:56 | By holding the Ctrl key click on the hyperlinked text. |
10:01 | We will be redirected to the relevant URL. |
10:05 | So, these are the different methods to create hyperlinks in Calc. |
10:10 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial.
Let us summarize. |
10:15 | In this tutorial, we learnt to:
Add reference to other sheets and Insert hyperlinks in Calc. |
