Editing Spreadsheet Documents
Whereas the previous section described the main structure of spreadsheet documents, this
section describes the services that allow you to easily access individual cells or cell ranges.
Cell Ranges
In addition to an object for individual cells (
com.sun.star.table.Cell
service), OpenOffice.org also provides objects that represent cell ranges. Such CellRange
objects are created using the getCellRangeByName call of the spreadsheet object:
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Sheet As Object
Dim CellRange As Object
Doc = StarDesktop.CurrentComponent
Sheet = Doc.Sheets.getByName("Sheet 1")
CellRange = Sheet.getCellRangeByName("A1:C15")
A colon (:) is used to specify a cell range in a spreadsheet document. For example, A1:C15
represents all the cells in rows 1 to 15 in columns A, B, and C.
The location of individual cells in a cell range can be determined using the
getCellByPosition method, where the coordinates of the top left cell in the cell range is (0,
0). The following example uses this method to create an object of cell C3.
Dim Doc As Object
Dim Sheet As Object
Dim CellRange As Object
Dim Cell As Object
