Resources for recording Linking in Calc


Time Narration
00:00 Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on Linking in Calc- in LibreOffice Calc.
00:06 In this tutorial, we will learn the following:
00:10 How to reference other sheets in Calc.
00:13 How to use hyperlinks in Calc.
00:17 Here we are using Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00:29 LibreOffice Calc allows you to reference-
00:33 A cell from another sheet to a cell in the current sheet
00:37 A cell from another spread sheet, if you have saved both the spreadsheets.
00:44 Let’s open “Personal-Finance-Tracker.ods”.
00:49 The sheet 1 of our file contains the spreadsheet for “Personal Finance Tracker”.
00:55 I have added some amounts in the columns “Spent” and “Received”.
01:04 Now, let us find the sum total of the components under “Cost” and “Spent” respectively.
01:11 Click on the cell referenced as C9 and enter the formula: is equal to SUM and within braces C3 colon C7.
01:24 Then press the Enter key.
01:27 Click on the cell referenced as D9 and using the same formula find the total.
01:36 Now, we will display the total balance under “Cost” and “Spent” on a different sheet using cell referencing.
01:45 Let’s click on the “Sheet 2” tab.
01:48 This opens the new sheet.
01:51 Now, click on the cell referenced as A1 and type the heading “COMPONENT” inside it.
02:00 Click on the cell referenced as B1 and type the heading “BALANCE” inside it.
02:07 Now, let’s enter the names of the components under the heading.
02:12 Click on the cell referenced as A3 and type“COST”. Press Enter.
02:19 Below “COST”, let’s enter the next component as “SPENT” in the cell referenced A4.
02:27 Now, click on the empty cell B3.
02:31 The cells B3 and B4 will have the total balance under the heading “COST” and “SPENT”
02:38 which we calculated in “Sheet 1”.
02:41 This will be done by referencing.
02:44 To make the cell reference in cell B3, click on the equal to sign next to the Input line.
02:53 Now, on the Sheet tab click on “Sheet 1”.
02:59 In this sheet, we will click on the cell C9 which contains the total under the column “Cost”.
03:07 Notice that in the “Input line”, the statement “Sheet 1 dot C9” is displayed.
03:15 Now, click on the check mark next to the “Input line”.
03:20 Notice that the grand total of the data under “Cost” in the “Sheet 1” tab is automatically entered into the cell, referenced as B3, in the "Sheet 2 " tab.
03:34 Similarly, we can enter the grand totals of other components through referencing.
03:41 Referencing can be very useful to summarize data if there are many sheets, with a lot of data content.
03:49 Now, let’s learn how to create Hyperlinks in Calc sheets.
03:55 You can use Hyperlinks to jump:To a different location within a spreadsheet To different files or Even to web sites.
04:06 In the “Personal-Finance-Tracker.ods”,the personal finance tracker is in “Sheet 1” and the rest of the content is in “Sheet 2”.
04:17 Let’s say we want to jump from Sheet 1 to Sheet 2.
04:22 First, click on the “Sheet 1” tab.
04:25 Here, let’s click on the cell referenced as B14 and enter ”Sheet 2”.
04:33 You see that the name “Sheet 2” is displayed on the Input line.
04:38 Now, select the text “SHEET 2” in the Input Line.
04:44 After selecting the text, click on the Hyperlink icon in the toolbar.
04:51 The Hyperlink dialog-box appears.
04:55 On the left side, let’s select the Document option.
04:59 Click on the Target in document icon in the dialog-box.
05:04 A new “Target in document” dialog-box appears.
05:08 Now, click on the plus sign next to the “Sheet” option.
05:13 In the dialog-box which appears, click on the “Sheet 2” option.
05:18 Now, click on the Apply button and then click on the Close button.
05:24 Now, from the Hyperlink dialog-box, click on Apply and then click on Close.
05:32 The “Sheet 1” tab appears in front with the text “Sheet 2” highlighted in the cell.
05:40 Now, when we click on the text “Sheet 2”, it directly takes us to the sheet where we had entered the balance for "Cost".
05:51 We have created a hyperlink!
05:55 To remove the hyperlink, first select the hyperlinked text “Sheet 2”.
06:01 Now, right-click and from the context menu, click on the “Default Formatting” option.
06:09 The text is no longer hyperlinked.
06:12 It is just like any normal text in the document.
06:16 Let us undo the changes.
06:20 This brings us to the end of the Spoken Tutorial on LibreOffice Calc.
06:25 To summarize, we learned how to: Reference to other sheets in Calc.
06:31 Use hyperlinks in Calc.
