# SFDocuments.Calc service

The SFDocuments shared library provides a number of methods and properties to facilitate the management and handling of LibreOffice documents.

The SFDocuments.Calc service is a subclass of the SFDocuments.Document service. All methods and properties defined for the Document service can also be accessed using a Calc service instance.

The Calc service is focused on:

- Handling sheets within a Calc document (copy, insert, move, etc)

- Exchanging data between Basic data structures and Calc ranges

- Copying and importing massive amounts of data

This help page describes methods and properties that are applicable only to Calc documents.

## Service invocation

Before using the Calc service the ScriptForge library needs to be loaded or imported:

• Basic macros require to load ScriptForge library using the following statement:
GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.loadLibrary("ScriptForge")
• Python scripts require an import from scriptforge module:
from scriptforge import CreateScriptService

The Calc service is closely related to the UI service of the ScriptForge library. Below are a few examples of how the Calc service can be invoked.

##### In Basic

The code snippet below creates a Calc service instance that corresponds to the currently active Calc document.

        Set oDoc = CreateScriptService("Calc")

Another way to create an instance of the Calc service is using the UI service. In the following example, a new Calc document is created and oDoc is a Calc service instance:

        Dim ui As Object, oDoc As Object
        Set ui = CreateScriptService("UI")
        Set oDoc = ui.CreateDocument("Calc")

Or using the OpenDocument method from the UI service:

        Set oDoc = ui.OpenDocument("C:\Documents\MyFile.ods")

It is also possible to instantiate the Calc service specifying a window name for the CreateScriptService method:

        Dim oDoc As Object
        Set oDoc = CreateScriptService("SFDocuments.Calc", "MyFile.ods")

In the example above, "MyFile.ods" is the name of an open document window. If this argument is not provided, the active window is considered.

It is also possible to invoke the Calc service using the document referenced by ThisComponent. This is specially useful when running a macro from within the Basic IDE.

        Dim oDoc As Object
        Set oDoc = CreateScriptService("Calc", ThisComponent)

It is recommended to free resources after use:

        Set oDoc = oDoc.Dispose()

However, if the document was closed using the CloseDocument method, it becomes unnecessary to free resources using the command described above.

##### In Python

        myDoc = CreateScriptService("Calc")

        ui = CreateScriptService("UI")
        myDoc = ui.CreateDocument("Calc")

        myDoc = ui.OpenDocument(r"C:\Documents\MyFile.ods")

        myDoc = CreateScriptService("SFDocuments.Calc", "MyFile.ods")
        myDoc.Dispose()

        bas = CreateScriptService("Basic")
        myDoc = CreateScriptService("Calc", bas.ThisComponent)

The use of the prefix "SFDocuments." while calling the service is optional.

## Definitions

Many methods require a "Sheet" or a "Range" as argument. Single cells are considered a special case of a Range.

Both may be expressed either as a string or as a reference (= object) depending on the situation:

- Within a specific Calc instance, sheets and ranges are given as strings such as "Sheet1" and "D2:F6".

- Additionally, the .Sheet and .Range properties return a reference that may be used as argument of a method called from another instance of the Calc service.

### Exemplo:

The example below copies data from document A (opened as read-only and hidden) to document B.

##### In Basic

        Dim oDocA As Object, oDocB As Object
        Set oDocA = ui.OpenDocument("C:\Documents\FileA.ods", Hidden := True, ReadOnly := True)
        Set oDocB = ui.OpenDocument("C:\Documents\FileB.ods")
        oDocB.CopyToRange(oDocA.Range("SheetX.D4:F8"), "D2:F6") 'CopyToRange(source, target)

##### In Python

        docA = ui.OpenDocument(r"C:\Documents\FileA.ods", hidden = True, readonly = True)
        docB = ui.OpenDocument(r"C:\Documents\FileB.ods")
        docB.CopyToRange(docA.Range("SheetX.D4:F8"), "D2:F6")

### SheetName

Either the sheet name as a string or an object produced by the .Sheet property.

The shortcut "~" (tilde) represents the current sheet.

### RangeName

Either a string designating a set of contiguous cells located in a sheet of the current instance or an object produced by the .Range property.

The shortcut "~" (tilde) represents the current selection or the first selected range if multiple ranges are selected.

The shortcut "*" represents all used cells.

The sheet name is optional when defining a range. If no sheet name is provided, then the active sheet is used. Surrounding single quotes and $ signs are allowed but ignored.

When specifying a SheetName as a string, the use of single quotes to enclose the sheet name are required if the name contains blank spaces " " or periods ".".

The examples below illustrate in which cases the use of single quotes is mandatory:

          ' The use of single quotes is optional
          oDoc.clearAll("SheetA.A1:B10")
          oDoc.clearAll("'SheetA'.A1:B10")
          ' The use of single quotes is required
          oDoc.clearAll("'Sheet.A'.A1:B10")

Except for the CurrentSelection property, the Calc service considers only single ranges of cells.

Examples of valid ranges
1) $'SheetX'.D2 2) $D$2 | A single cell
1) $'SheetX'.D2:F6 2) D2:D10 | Single range with multiple cells
$'SheetX'.* | All used cells in the given sheet
1) $'SheetX'.A:A (column A) 2) 3:5 (rows 3 to 5) | All cells in contiguous columns or rows up to the last used cell
myRange | A range named "myRange" at spreadsheet level
1) ~.someRange 2) SheetX.someRange | A range name at sheet level
myDoc.Range("SheetX.D2:F6") | A range within the sheet SheetX in file associated with the myDoc Calc instance
~.~ or ~ | The current selection in the active sheet

## Properties

All the properties generic to any document are implicitly applicable also to Calc documents. For more information, read the Document service Help page.

The properties specifically available for Calc documents are:

Name | Readonly | Argument | Return type | Description
--- | --- | --- | --- | ---
CurrentSelection | No | None | String or array of strings | The single selected range as a string or the list of selected ranges as an array.
FirstCell | Yes | SheetName or RangeName as String | String | Returns the first used cell in a given range or sheet.
FirstColumn | Yes | SheetName or RangeName as String | Long | Returns the leftmost column number in a given range or sheet.
FirstRow | Yes | SheetName or RangeName as String | Long | Returns the topmost row number in a given range or sheet.
Height | Yes | RangeName As String | Long | The number of rows (>= 1) in the given range.
LastCell | Yes | SheetName or RangeName as String | String | Returns the last used cell in a given range or sheet.
LastColumn | Yes | SheetName or RangeName as String | Long | The last used column in a given range or sheet.
LastRow | Yes | SheetName or RangeName as String | Long | The last used row in a given range or sheet.
Range | Yes | RangeName As String | Object | A range reference that can be used as argument of methods like CopyToRange.
Region | Yes | RangeName As String | String | Returns the address of the smallest area that contains the specified range so that the area is surrounded by empty cells or sheet edges. This is equivalent to applying the Command + *Ctrl + * shortcut to the given range.
Sheet | Yes | SheetName As String | Object | A sheet reference that can be used as argument of methods like CopySheet.
SheetName | Yes | RangeName As String | String | Returns the sheet name of a given range address.
Sheets | Yes | None | Array of strings | The list with the names of all existing sheets.
Width | Yes | RangeName As String | Long | The number of columns (>= 1) in the given range.
XCellRange | Yes | RangeName As String | Object | A com.sun.star.Table.XCellRange UNO object.
XSheetCellCursor | Yes | RangeName As String | Object | A com.sun.star.sheet.XSheetCellCursor UNO object. After moving the cursor, the resulting range address can be accessed through the AbsoluteName UNO property of the cursor object, which returns a string value that can be used as argument for properties and methods of the Calc service.
XSpreadsheet | Yes | SheetName As String | Object | A com.sun.star.sheet.XSpreadsheet UNO object.

## A1Style

Returns a range address as a string based on sheet coordinates, i.e. row and column numbers.

If only a pair of coordinates is given, then an address to a single cell is returned. Additional arguments can specify the bottom-right cell of a rectangular range.

### Sintaxe:

svc.A1Style(row1: int, column1: int, row2: int = 0; column2: int = 0; sheetname: str = "~"): str

### Parâmetros:

row1, column1: Specify the row and column numbers of the top-left cell in the range to be considered. Row and column numbers start at 1.

row2, column2: Specify the row and column numbers of the bottom-right cell in the range to be considered. If these arguments are not provided, or if values smaller than row1 and column1 are given, then the address of the single cell range represented by row1 and column1 is returned.

sheetname: The name of the sheet to be appended to the returned range address. The sheet must exist. The default value is "~" corresponding to the currently active sheet.

### Exemplo:

The examples below in Basic and Python consider that "Sheet1" is the currently active sheet.

##### In Basic

        Set oDoc = CreateScriptService("Calc")
        addr1 = oDoc.A1Style(1, 1) ' '$Sheet1'.$A$1
        addr2 = oDoc.A1Style(2, 2, 3, 6) ' '$Sheet1'.$B$2:$F$3
        addr3 = oDoc.A1Style(2, 2, 0, 6) ' '$Sheet1'.$B$2
        addr4 = oDoc.A1Style(3, 4, 3, 8, "Sheet2") ' '$Sheet2'.$D$3:$H$3
        addr5 = oDoc.A1Style(5, 1, SheetName := "Sheet3") ' '$Sheet3'.$A$5

##### In Python

        doc = CreateScriptService("Calc")
        addr1 = doc.A1Style(1, 1) # '$Sheet1'.$A$1
        addr2 = doc.A1Style(2, 2, 3, 6) # '$Sheet1'.$B$2:$F$3
        addr3 = doc.A1Style(2, 2, 0, 6) # '$Sheet1'.$B$2
        addr4 = doc.A1Style(3, 4, 3, 8, "Sheet2") # '$Sheet2'.$D$3:$H$3
        addr5 = doc.A1Style(5, 1, sheetname="Sheet3") # '$Sheet3'.$A$5

The method A1Style can be combined with any of the many properties and methods of the Calc service that require a range as argument, such as GetValue, GetFormula, ClearAll, etc.

## Activate

If the argument sheetname is provided, the given sheet is activated and it becomes the currently selected sheet. If the argument is absent, then the document window is activated.

### Sintaxe:

svc.Activate(sheetname: str = ""): bool

### Parâmetros:

sheetname: The name of the sheet to be activated in the document. The default value is an empty string, meaning that the document window will be activated without changing the active sheet.

### Exemplo:

The example below activates the sheet named "Sheet4" in the currently active document.

##### In Basic

        Dim ui as Variant, oDoc as Object
        Set ui = CreateScriptService("UI")
        Set oDoc = ui.GetDocument(ui.ActiveWindow)
        oDoc.Activate("Sheet4")

##### In Python

        ui = CreateScriptService("UI")
        myDoc = ui.GetDocument(ui.ActiveWindow)
        myDoc.Activate("Sheet4")

Activating a sheet makes sense only if it is performed on a Calc document. To make sure you have a Calc document at hand you can use the isCalc property of the document object, which returns True if it is a Calc document and False otherwise.

## Charts

Returns either the list with the names of all chart objects in a given sheet or a single Chart service instance.

- If only sheetname is specified, a zero-based array of strings containing the names of all charts is returned.

- If a chartname is provided, then a single object corresponding to the desired chart is returned. The specified chart must exist.

### Sintaxe:

svc.Charts(sheetname: str, chartname: str = ""): obj

### Parâmetros:

sheetname: The name of the sheet from which the list of charts is to be retrieved or where the specified chart is located.

chartname: The user-defined name of the chart object to be returned. If the chart does not have a user-defined name, then the internal object name can be used. If this argument is absent, then the list of chart names in the specified sheet is returned.

Use the Navigator sidebar to check the names assigned to charts under the OLE objects category.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

The example below shows the number of chart objects in "Sheet1".

        Dim arrNames as Object
        arrNames = oDoc.Charts("Sheet1")
        MsgBox "There are " & UBound(arrNames) + 1 & " charts in Sheet1"

The following example accesses the chart named "MyChart" in "Sheet1" and prints its type.

        Dim oChart as Object
        oChart = oDoc.Charts("Sheet1", "MyChart")
        MsgBox oChart.ChartType

##### In Python

        bas = CreateScriptService("Basic")
        chart_names = doc.Charts("Sheet1")
        bas.MsgBox(f"There are {len(chart_names)} charts in Sheet1")

        chart = doc.Charts("Sheet1", "MyChart")
        bas.MsgBox(chart.ChartType)

## ClearAll

Clears all the contents and formats of the given range.

A filter formula can be specified to determine which cells shall be affected.

### Sintaxe:

svc.ClearAll(range: str, opt filterformula: str, opt filterscope: str)

### Parâmetros:

range: The range to be cleared, as a string.

filterformula: A Calc formula that shall be applied to the given range to determine which cells will be affected. The specified formula must return True or False. If this argument is not specified, then all cells in the range are affected.

filterscope: Determines how filterformula is expanded to the given range. This argument is mandatory if a filterformula is specified. The following values are accepted:

- "CELL": The formula specified in the filterformula argument is expanded once for each cell in range.

- "ROW": The formula specified in the filterformula argument is expanded once for each row in range.

- "COLUMN": The formula specified in the filterformula argument is expanded once for each column in range.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

        ' Clears all cells in the range SheetX.A1:J10
        oDoc.ClearAll("SheetX.A1:J10")
        ' Clears all cells in the range SheetX.A1:J10 that have a value greater than 100
        oDoc.ClearAll("SheetX.A1:J10", "=SheetX.A1>100", "CELL")
        ' Clears all rows in the range SheetX.A1:J10 whose sum is greater than 500
        oDoc.ClearAll("SheetX.A1:J10", "=SUM(SheetX.A1:J1)>100", "ROW")
        ' Clears all columns in the range SheetX.A1:J10 whose sum is greater than 500
        oDoc.ClearAll("SheetX.A1:J10", "=SUM(SheetX.A1:A10)>100", "COLUMN")

##### In Python

        myDoc.ClearAll("SheetX.A1:F10")
        myDoc.ClearAll("SheetX.A1:J10", "=SheetX.A1>100", "CELL")
        myDoc.ClearAll("SheetX.A1:J10", "=SUM(SheetX.A1:J1)>100", "ROW")
        myDoc.ClearAll("SheetX.A1:J10", "=SUM(SheetX.A1:A10)>100", "COLUMN")

## ClearFormats

Clears the formats and styles in the given range.

A filter formula can be specified to determine which cells shall be affected.

### Sintaxe:

svc.ClearFormats(range: str, opt filterformula: str, opt filterscope: str)

### Parâmetros:

range: The range whose formats and styles are to be cleared, as a string.

filterformula: A Calc formula that shall be applied to the given range to determine which cells will be affected. The specified formula must return True or False. If this argument is not specified, then all cells in the range are affected.

filterscope: Determines how filterformula is expanded to the given range. This argument is mandatory if a filterformula is specified. The following values are accepted:

- "CELL": The formula specified in the filterformula argument is expanded once for each cell in range.

- "ROW": The formula specified in the filterformula argument is expanded once for each row in range.

- "COLUMN": The formula specified in the filterformula argument is expanded once for each column in range.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

          oDoc.ClearFormats("SheetX.*")

##### In Python

        myDoc.ClearFormats("SheetX.*")

Refer to the ClearAll method documentation for examples on how to use the arguments filterformula and filterscope.

## ClearValues

Clears the values and formulas in the given range.

A filter formula can be specified to determine which cells shall be affected.

### Sintaxe:

svc.ClearValues(range: str, opt filterformula: str, opt filterscope: str)

### Parâmetros:

range: The range whose values and formulas are to be cleared, as a string.

filterformula: A Calc formula that shall be applied to the given range to determine which cells will be affected. The specified formula must return True or False. If this argument is not specified, then all cells in the range are affected.

filterscope: Determines how filterformula is expanded to the given range. This argument is mandatory if a filterformula is specified. The following values are accepted:

- "CELL": The formula specified in the filterformula argument is expanded once for each cell in range.

- "ROW": The formula specified in the filterformula argument is expanded once for each row in range.

- "COLUMN": The formula specified in the filterformula argument is expanded once for each column in range.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

          oDoc.ClearValues("SheetX.A1:F10")

##### In Python

        myDoc.ClearValues("SheetX.A1:F10")

Refer to the ClearAll method documentation for examples on how to use the arguments filterformula and filterscope.

## CompactLeft

Deletes the columns of a specified range that match a filter expressed as a Calc formula. The filter is applied to each column to decide whether it will be deleted or not.

The deleted column can be limited to the height of the specified range or span to the height of the entire sheet, thus deleting whole columns.

This method returns a string with the range address of the compacted range. If all columns are deleted, then an empty string is returned.

If a range of cells is selected, calling this method will not impact the selection.

### Sintaxe:

svc.CompactLeft(range: str, wholecolumn: bool = False, opt filterformula: str): str

### Parâmetros:

range: The range from which columns will be deleted, as a string.

wholecolumn: If this option is set to True the entire column will be deleted from the sheet. The default value is False, which means that the deleted column will be limited to the height of the specified range.

filterformula: The filter to be applied to each column to determine whether or not it will be deleted. The filter is expressed as a Calc formula that should be applied to the first column. When the formula returns True for a column, that column will be deleted. The default filter deletes all empty columns.

For example, suppose range A1:J200 is selected (height = 200), so the default formula is =(COUNTBLANK(A1:A200)=200). This means that if all 200 cells are empty in the first column (Column A), then the column is deleted. Note that the formula is expressed with respect to the first column only. Internally the CompactLeft method will generalize this formula for all the remaining columns.

Calc functions used in the filterformula argument must be expressed using their English names. Visit the Wiki page List of Calc Functions for a complete list of Calc functions in English.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

        ' Delete all empty columns in the range G1:L10 from Sheet1
        newrange = oDoc.CompactLeft("Sheet1.G1:L10")
        ' The example below is similar, but the entire column is deleted from the sheet
        newrange = oDoc.CompactLeft("Sheet1.G1:L10", WholeColumn := True)
        ' Deletes all columns where the first row is marked with an "X"
        newrange = oDoc.CompactLeft("Sheet1.G1:L10", FilterFormula := "=(G1=""X"")")
        ' Deletes all columns where the sum of values in the column is odd
        newrange = oDoc.CompactLeft("Sheet1.G1:L10", FilterFormula := "=(MOD(SUM(G1:G10);2)=1)")

##### In Python

        newrange = myDoc.CompactLeft("Sheet1.G1:L10")
        newrange = myDoc.CompactLeft("Sheet1.G1:L10", wholecolumn = True)
        newrange = myDoc.CompactLeft("Sheet1.G1:L10", filterformula = '=(G1="X")')
        newrange = myDoc.CompactLeft("Sheet1.G1:L10", filterformula = '=(MOD(SUM(G1:G10);2)=1)')

## CompactUp

Deletes the rows of a specified range that match a filter expressed as a Calc formula. The filter is applied to each row to decide whether it will be deleted or not.

The deleted rows can be limited to the width of the specified range or span to the width of the entire sheet, thus deleting whole rows.

This method returns a string with the range address of the compacted range. If all rows are deleted, then an empty string is returned.

If a range of cells is selected, calling this method will not impact the selection.

### Sintaxe:

svc.CompactUp(range: str, wholerow: bool = False, opt filterformula: str): str

### Parâmetros:

range: The range from which rows will be deleted, as a string.

wholerow: If this option is set to True the entire row will be deleted from the sheet. The default value is False, which means that the deleted row will be limited to the width of the specified range.

filterformula: The filter to be applied to each row to determine whether or not it will be deleted. The filter is expressed as a Calc formula that should be applied to the first row. When the formula returns True for a row, that row will be deleted. The default filter deletes all empty rows.

For example, suppose range A1:J200 is selected (width = 10), so the default formula is =(COUNTBLANK(A1:J1)=10). This means that if all 10 cells are empty in the first row (Row 1), then the row is deleted. Note that the formula is expressed with respect to the first row only. Internally the CompactUp method will generalize this formula for all the remaining rows.

The Calc functions used in the formula specified in the filterformula argument must be expressed using their English names. Visit the Wiki page List of Calc Functions for a complete list of Calc functions in English.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

        ' Delete all empty rows in the range G1:L10 from Sheet1
        newrange = oDoc.CompactUp("Sheet1.G1:L10")
        ' The example below is similar, but the entire row is deleted from the sheet
        newrange = oDoc.CompactUp("Sheet1.G1:L10", WholeRow := True)
        ' Deletes all rows where the first column is marked with an "X"
        newrange = oDoc.CompactUp("Sheet1.G1:L10", FilterFormula := "=(G1=""X"")")
        ' Deletes all rows where the sum of values in the row is odd
        newrange = oDoc.CompactUp("Sheet1.G1:L10", FilterFormula := "=(MOD(SUM(G1:L1);2)=1)")

##### In Python

        newrange = myDoc.CompactUp("Sheet1.G1:L10")
        newrange = myDoc.CompactUp("Sheet1.G1:L10", wholerow = True)
        newrange = myDoc.CompactUp("Sheet1.G1:L10", filterformula = '=(G1="X")')
        newrange = myDoc.CompactUp("Sheet1.G1:L10", filterformula = '=(MOD(SUM(G1:L1);2)=1)')

## CopySheet

Copies a specified sheet before an existing sheet or at the end of the list of sheets. The sheet to be copied may be contained inside any open Calc document. Returns True if successful.

### Sintaxe:

svc.CopySheet(sheetname: any, newname: str, [beforesheet: any]): bool

### Parâmetros:

sheetname: The name of the sheet to be copied as a string or its reference as an object.

newname: The name of the sheet to insert. The name must not be in use in the document.

beforesheet: The name (string) or index (numeric, starting from 1) of the sheet before which to insert the copied sheet. This argument is optional and the default behavior is to add the copied sheet at the last position.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

The following example makes a copy of the sheet "SheetX" and places it as the last sheet in the current document. The name of the copied sheet is "SheetY".

        Dim oDoc as Object
        'Gets the Document object of the active window
        Set oDoc = CreateScriptService("Calc")
        oDoc.CopySheet("SheetX", "SheetY")

The example below copies "SheetX" from "FileA.ods" and pastes it at the last position of "FileB.ods" with the name "SheetY":

          Dim oDocA As Object : Set oDocA = ui.OpenDocument("C:\Documents\FileA.ods", Hidden := True, ReadOnly := True)
          Dim oDocB As Object : Set oDocB = ui.OpenDocument("C:\Documents\FileB.ods")
          oDocB.CopySheet(oDocA.Sheet("SheetX"), "SheetY")

##### In Python

        myDoc.CopySheet("SheetX", "SheetY")

        docA = ui.OpenDocument(r"C:\Documents\FileA.ods", hidden = True, readonly = True)
        docB = ui.OpenDocument(r"C:\Documents\FileB.ods")
        docB.CopySheet(docA.Sheet("SheetX"), "SheetY")

To copy sheets between open documents, use CopySheet. To copy sheets from documents that are closed, use CopySheetFromFile.

## CopySheetFromFile

Copies a specified sheet from a closed Calc document and pastes it before an existing sheet or at the end of the list of sheets of the file referred to by a Document object.

If the file does not exist, an error is raised. If the file is not a valid Calc file, a blank sheet is inserted. If the source sheet does not exist in the input file, an error message is inserted at the top of the newly pasted sheet.

### Sintaxe:

svc.CopySheetFromFile(filename: str, sheetname: str, newname: str, [beforesheet: any]): bool

### Parâmetros:

filename: Identifies the file to open. It must follow the SF_FileSystem.FileNaming notation. The file must not be protected with a password.

sheetname: The name of the sheet to be copied as a string.

newname: The name of the copied sheet to be inserted in the document. The name must not be in use in the document.

beforesheet: The name (string) or index (numeric, starting from 1) of the sheet before which to insert the copied sheet. This argument is optional and the default behavior is to add the copied sheet at the last position.

### Exemplo:

The following example copies "SheetX" from "myFile.ods" and pastes it into the document referred to by "oDoc" as "SheetY" at the first position.

##### In Basic

        oDoc.CopySheetFromFile("C:\Documents\myFile.ods", "SheetX", "SheetY", 1)

##### In Python

        myDoc.CopySheetFromFile(r"C:\Documents\myFile.ods", "SheetX", "SheetY", 1)

## CopyToCell

Copies a specified source range (values, formulas and formats) to a destination range or cell. The method reproduces the behaviour of a Copy/Paste operation from a range to a single cell.

It returns a string representing the modified range of cells. The size of the modified area is fully determined by the size of the source area.

The source range may belong to another open document.

### Sintaxe:

svc.CopyToCell(sourcerange: any, destinationcell: str): str

### Parâmetros:

sourcerange: The source range as a string when it belongs to the same document or as a reference when it belongs to another open Calc document.

destinationcell: The destination cell where the copied range of cells will be pasted, as a string. If a range is given, only its top-left cell is considered.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

Next is an example where the source and destination are in the same file:

          oDoc.CopyToCell("SheetX.A1:F10", "SheetY.C5")

The example below illustrates how to copy a range from another open Calc document:

        Dim ui as Variant : ui = CreateScriptService("UI")
        Dim oDocSource As Object, oDocDestination As Object
        'Open the source document in the background (hidden)
        Set oDocSource = ui.OpenDocument("C:\SourceFile.ods", Hidden := True, ReadOnly := True)
        Set oDocDestination = CreateScriptService("Calc")
        oDocDestination.CopyToCell(oDocSource.Range("Sheet1.C2:C4"), "SheetT.A5")
        'Do not forget to close the source document because it was opened as hidden
        oDocSource.CloseDocument()

##### In Python

        docSource = ui.OpenDocument(r"C:\Documents\SourceFile.ods", hidden = True, readonly = True)
        docDestination = CreateScriptService("Calc")
        docDestination.CopyToCell(docSource.Range("Sheet1.C2:C4"), "SheetT.A5")
        docSource.CloseDocument()

To simulate a Copy/Paste from a range to a single cell, use CopyToCell. To simulate a Copy/Paste from a range to a larger range (with the same cells being replicated several times), use CopyToRange.

## CopyToRange

Copies downwards and/or rightwards a specified source range (values, formulas and formats) to a destination range. The method imitates the behaviour of a Copy/Paste operation from a source range to a larger destination range.

- If the height (or width) of the destination area is > 1 row (or column) then the height (or width) of the source must be <= the height (or width) of the destination. Otherwise nothing happens.

- If the height (or width) of the destination is = 1 then the destination is expanded downwards (or rightwards) up to the height (or width) of the source range.

The method returns a string representing the modified range of cells.

The source range may belong to another open document.

### Sintaxe:

svc.CopyToRange(sourcerange: any, destinationrange: str): str

### Parâmetros:

sourcerange: The source range as a string when it belongs to the same document or as a reference when it belongs to another open Calc document.

destinationrange: The destination of the copied range of cells, as a string.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

Copy within the same document:

        oDoc.CopyToRange("SheetX.A1:F10", "SheetY.C5:J5")
        ' Returns a range string: "$SheetY.$C$5:$J$14"

Copy from one file to another:

        Dim oDocA As Object : Set oDocA = ui.OpenDocument("C:\Documents\FileA.ods", Hidden := True, ReadOnly := True)
        Dim oDocB As Object : Set oDocB = ui.OpenDocument("C:\Documents\FileB.ods")
        oDocB.CopyToRange(oDocA.Range("SheetX.A1:F10"), "SheetY.C5:J5")

##### In Python

        doc.CopyToRange("SheetX.A1:F10", "SheetY.C5:J5")

        docA = ui.OpenDocument(r"C:\Documents\FileA.ods", hidden = True, readonly = True)
        docB = ui.OpenDocument(r"C:\Documents\FileB.ods")
        docB.CopyToRange(docA.Range("SheetX.A1:F10"), "SheetY.C5:J5")

## CreateChart

Creates a new chart object showing the data in the specified range. The returned chart object can be further manipulated using the Chart service.

### Sintaxe:

svc.CreateChart(chartname: str, sheetname: str, range: str, columnheader: bool = False, rowheader: bool = False): obj

### Parâmetros:

chartname: The user-defined name of the chart to be created. The name must be unique in the same sheet.

sheetname: The name of the sheet where the chart will be placed.

range: The range to be used as the data source for the chart. The range may refer to any sheet of the Calc document.

columnheader: When True, the topmost row of the range is used as labels for the category axis or the legend (Default = False).

rowheader: When True, the leftmost column of the range is used as labels for the category axis or the legend. (Default = False).

### Exemplo:

The examples below in Basic and Python create a chart using the data contained in the range "A1:B5" of "Sheet1" and place the chart in "Sheet2".

##### In Basic

        Set oChart = oDoc.CreateChart("MyChart", "Sheet2", "Sheet1.A1:B5", RowHeader := True)
        oChart.ChartType = "Donut"

##### In Python

        chart = doc.CreateChart("MyChart", "Sheet2", "Sheet1.A1:B5", rowheader=True)
        chart.ChartType = "Donut"

Refer to the help page about ScriptForge's Chart service to learn more how to further manipulate chart objects. It is possible to change properties as the chart type, chart and axes titles and chart position.

                    "First column %C1" & Chr(10) & _
                    "Last row %R2" & Chr(10) & _
                    "Last column %C2"
        MsgBox oDoc.Printf(sInputStr, sRange)

The Printf method can be combined with SetFormula to create formulas over multiple cells. For instance, consider a table with numeric values in the range "A1:E10" from which formulas are to be created to sum the values in each row and place the results in the range "F1:F10":

        Dim sFormula as String, sRange as String
        sRange = "A1:E10"
        ' Note the use of the "$" character
        sFormula = "=SUM($%C1%R1:$%C2%R1)"
        oDoc.SetFormula("F1:F10", oDoc.Printf(sFormula, sRange))

##### In Python

        sRange = "Sheet1.A1:E10"
        sInputStr = "Sheet name: %S\n" \
                    "First row: %R1\n" \
                    "First column %C1\n" \
                    "Last row %R2\n" \
                    "Last column %C2"
        bas = CreateScriptService("Basic")
        bas.MsgBox(myDoc.Printf(sInputStr, sRange))

        sRange = "A1:E10
        sFormula = "=SUM($%C1%R1:$%C2%R1)"
        myDoc.SetFormula("F1:F10", myDoc.Printf(sFormula, sRange))

## PrintOut

This method sends the contents of the given sheet to the default printer or to the printer defined by the SetPrinter method of the Document service.

Returns True if the sheet was successfully printed.

### Sintaxe:

svc.PrintOut(opt sheetname: str, pages: str = "", copies: num = 1): bool

### Parâmetros:

sheetname: The sheet to print, default is the active sheet.

pages: The pages to print as a string, like in the user interface. Example: "1-4;10;15-18". Default is all pages.

copies: The number of copies. Default is 1.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

        If oDoc.PrintOut("SheetX", "1-4;10;15-18", Copies := 2) Then
            ' ...
        End If

##### In Python

        if doc.PrintOut('SheetX', copies=3, pages='45-88'):
            # ...

## RemoveDuplicates

Removes duplicate rows from a specified range. The comparison to determine if a given row is a duplicate is done based on a subset of columns in the range.

This method returns a string containing the resulting range.

The removal of duplicate rows is done starting at the first row in the range moving downwards, meaning that if two or more rows are duplicates then only the first one is kept.

### Sintaxe:

svc.RemoveDuplicates(range: str, opt columns: int[0..*], header: bool = False, casesensitive: bool = False, mode: str = "COMPACT"): str

### Parâmetros:

range: The range from which duplicates will be removed, as a string.

columns: An array containing column numbers indicating which columns will be considered to determine if a row is a duplicate or not. If this argument is left blank, then only the first column is used. Items in this array must be in the interval between 1 and the range width.

header: Specifies whether the first row is a header row (Default = False).

casesensitive: Specifies whether string comparisons are case-sensitive (Default = False).

mode: Specifies what to do with duplicate rows. If mode = "CLEAR" then duplicates are simply removed from the sheet leaving the cells blank. If mode = "COMPACT" then duplicates are removed and empty rows are compacted up (Default = "COMPACT").

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

        ' Removes duplicate rows where values in column A are duplicate
        ' Note that all optional arguments use their default value
        oDoc.RemoveDuplicates("A1:B10")
        ' Removes duplicate rows considering that the first row contains headers
        ' Columns A and B are used to determine if a row is a duplicate
        ' Cells containing duplicate values are left blank
        oDoc.RemoveDuplicates("A1:D10", columns := Array(1, 2), header := True, mode := "CLEAR")

##### In Python

        myDoc.RemoveDuplicates("A1:B10")
        myDoc.RemoveDuplicates("A1:D10", columns = (1, 2), header = True, mode = "CLEAR")

## RemoveSheet

Removes an existing sheet from the document.

### Sintaxe:

svc.RemoveSheet(sheetname: str): bool

### Parâmetros:

sheetname: The name of the sheet to remove.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

        oDoc.RemoveSheet("SheetY")

##### In Python

        myDoc.RemoveSheet("SheetY")

## RenameSheet

Renames the given sheet and returns True if successful.

### Sintaxe:

svc.RenameSheet(sheetname: str, newname: str): bool

### Parâmetros:

sheetname: The name of the sheet to rename.

newname: the new name of the sheet. It must not exist yet.

### Exemplo:

This example renames the active sheet to "SheetY":

##### In Basic

        oDoc.RenameSheet("~", "SheetY")

##### In Python

        mydoc.RenameSheet("~", "SheetY")

## SetArray

Stores the given value starting from a specified target cell. The updated area expands itself from the target cell or from the top-left corner of the given range to accommodate the size of the input value argument. Vectors are always expanded vertically.

The method returns a string representing the modified area as a range of cells.

### Sintaxe:

svc.SetArray(targetcell: str, value: any): str

### Parâmetros:

targetcell: The cell or a range as a string from where to start to store the given value.

value: A scalar, a vector or an array (in Python, one or two-dimensional lists and tuples) with the new values to be stored from the target cell or from the top-left corner of the range if targetcell is a range. The new values must be strings, numeric values or dates. Other types will cause the corresponding cells to be emptied.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

The following example uses the builtin DimArray function to create an array and then store it in cell "A1":

        Dim arrData as Variant
        arrData = DimArray(2, 1)
        arrData(0, 0) = 1 : arrData(1, 0) = 2 : arrData(2, 0) = 3
        arrData(0, 1) = "One" : arrData(1, 1) = "Two" : arrData(2, 1) = "Three"
        oDoc.SetArray("Sheet1.A1", arrData)

This example uses the RangeInit method of the ScriptForge Array service to create an array with values that are then stored from cell "A1" and downwards.

        'Fill 1st column with values from 1 to 1000
        oDoc.SetArray("Sheet1.A1", SF_Array.RangeInit(1, 1000))

##### In Python

        arrData = ((1, "One"), (2, "Two"), (3, "Three"))
        myDoc.SetArray("Sheet1.A1", arrData)

        myDoc.SetArray("Sheet1.A1", tuple(i + 1 for i in range(1000)))

To dump the full contents of an array in a sheet, use SetArray. To dump the contents of an array only within the boundaries of the targeted range of cells, use SetValue.

## SetCellStyle

Applies the specified cell style to the given target range. The full range is updated and the remainder of the sheet is left untouched. If the cell style does not exist, an error is raised.

The method returns a string representing the modified area as a range of cells.

### Sintaxe:

svc.SetCellStyle(targetrange: str, style: str, opt filterformula: str, opt filterscope: str): str

### Parâmetros:

targetrange: The range to which the style will be applied, as a string.

style: The name of the cell style to apply.

filterformula: A Calc formula that shall be applied to the given range to determine which cells will be affected. The specified formula must return True or False. If this argument is not specified, then all cells in the range are affected.

filterscope: Determines how filterformula is expanded to the given range. This argument is mandatory if a filterformula is specified. The following values are accepted:

- "CELL": The formula specified in the filterformula argument is expanded once for each cell in range.

- "ROW": The formula specified in the filterformula argument is expanded once for each row in range.

- "COLUMN": The formula specified in the filterformula argument is expanded once for each column in range.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

        oDoc.SetCellStyle("A1:J1", "Heading 1")
        oDoc.SetCellStyle("A2:J100", "Neutral")

##### In Python

        myDoc.SetCellStyle("A1:J1", "Heading 1")
        myDoc.SetCellStyle("A2:J100", "Neutral")

Refer to the ClearAll method documentation for examples on how to use the arguments filterformula and filterscope.

## SetFormula

Inserts the given (array of) formula(s) in the specified range. The size of the modified area is equal to the size of the range.

The method returns a string representing the modified area as a range of cells.

### Sintaxe:

svc.SetFormula(targetrange: str, formula: any): str

### Parâmetros:

targetrange: The range to insert the formulas, as a string.

formula: A string, a vector or an array of strings with the new formulas for each cell in the target range.

The full range is updated and the remainder of the sheet is left unchanged.

If the given formula is a string, the unique formula is pasted along the whole range with adjustment of the relative references.

If the size of formula is smaller than the size of targetrange, then the remaining cells are emptied.

If the size of formula is larger than the size of targetrange, then the formulas are only partially copied until it fills the size of targetrange.

Vectors are always expanded vertically, except if targetrange has a height of exactly 1 row.

Calc functions used in the formula argument must be expressed using their English names. Visit the Wiki page List of Calc Functions for a complete list of Calc functions in English.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

        oDoc.SetFormula("A1", "=A2")
        'Horizontal vector, partially empty
        oDoc.SetFormula("A1:F1", Array("=A2", "=B2", "=C2+10"))
        'D2 contains the formula "=H2"
        oDoc.SetFormula("A1:D2", "=E1")

##### In Python

        myDoc.SetFormula("A1", "=A2")
        myDoc.SetFormula("A1:F1", ("=A2", "=B2", "=C2+10"))
        myDoc.SetFormula("A1:D2", "=E1")

## SetValue

Stores the given value in the specified range. The size of the modified area is equal to the size of the target range.

The method returns a string representing the modified area as a range of cells.

### Sintaxe:

svc.SetValue(targetrange: str, value: any): str

### Parâmetros:

targetrange: The range where to store the given value, as a string.

value: A scalar, a vector or an array with the new values for each cell of the range. The new values must be strings, numeric values or dates. Other types will cause the corresponding cells to be emptied.

The full range is updated and the remainder of the sheet is left unchanged. If the size of value is smaller than the size of targetrange, then the remaining cells will be emptied.

If the size of value is larger than the size of targetrange, then value is only partially copied until it fills the size of targetrange.

Vectors are expanded vertically, except if targetrange has a height of exactly 1 row.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

        oDoc.SetValue("A1", 2)
        'Below the Value array is smaller than the TargetRange (remaining cells are emptied)
        oDoc.SetValue("A1:F1", Array(1, 2, 3))
        'Below the Value and TargetRange have the same size
        oDoc.SetValue("A1:D2", SF_Array.AppendRow(Array(1, 2, 3, 4), Array(5, 6, 7, 8)))

If you want to fill a single row with values, you can use the Offset function. In the example below, consider that arrData is a one-dimensional array:

        Dim firstCell As String : firstCell = "A1"
        Dim lenArray As Integer : lenArray = UBound(arrData) - LBound(arrData) + 1
        Dim newRange As String : newRange = oDoc.Offset(firstCell, width = lenArray)
        oDoc.SetValue(newRange, arrData)

##### In Python

        myDoc.SetValue("A1", 2)
        myDoc.SetValue("A1:F1", (1, 2, 3))
        myDoc.SetValue("A1:D2", ((1, 2, 3, 4), (5, 6, 7, 8)))

        firstCell = "A1"
        newRange = doc.Offset(firstCell, width = len(arrData))
        doc.SetValue(newRange, arrData)

## ShiftDown

Moves a given range of cells downwards by inserting empty rows. The current selection is not affected.

Depending on the value of the wholerow argument the inserted rows can either span the width of the specified range or span all columns in the row.

This method returns a string representing the new location of the initial range.

If the shifted range exceeds the sheet edges, then nothing happens.

### Sintaxe:

svc.ShiftDown(range: str, wholerow: bool = False, opt rows: int): str

### Parâmetros:

range: The range above which rows will be inserted, as a string.

wholerow: If set to False (default), then the width of the inserted rows will be the same as the width of the specified range. Otherwise, the inserted row will span all columns in the sheet.

rows: The number of rows to be inserted. The default value is the height of the original range. The number of rows must be a positive number.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

        ' Moves the range "A3:D3" down by one row; affects only columns A to D
        oDoc.ShiftDown("A3:D3")
        ' The inserted row spans all columns in the sheet
        oDoc.ShiftDown("A3:D3", WholeRow := True)
        ' Moves the range "A3:D3" down by five rows
        oDoc.ShiftDown("A3:D3", Rows := 5)
        ' Moves the range "A3:D10" down by two rows and shows the new location of the original range
        Dim sNewRange as String
        sNewRange = oDoc.ShiftDown("A3:D10", Rows := 2)
        MsgBox sNewRange   ' $Sheet1.$A$5:$D$12

        myDoc.ShiftDown("A3:D3", wholerow = True)
        myDoc.ShiftDown("A3:D3", rows = 5)
        sNewRange = myDoc.ShiftDown("A3:D10", rows = 2)
        bas = CreateScriptService("Basic")
        bas.MsgBox(sNewRange)

## ShiftLeft

Deletes the leftmost columns of a given range and moves to the left all cells to the right of the affected range. The current selection is not affected.

Depending on the value of the wholecolumn argument the deleted columns can either span the height of the specified range or span all rows in the column.

This method returns a string representing the location of the remaining portion of the initial range. If all cells in the original range have been deleted, then an empty string is returned.

### Sintaxe:

svc.ShiftLeft(range: str, wholecolumn: bool = False, opt columns: int): str

### Parâmetros:

range: The range from which cells will be deleted, as a string.

wholecolumn: If set to False (default), then the height of the deleted columns will be the same as the height of the specified range. Otherwise, the deleted columns will span all rows in the sheet.

columns: The number of columns to be deleted from the specified range. The default value is the width of the original range, which is also the maximum value of this argument.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

        ' Deletes the range "B3:B6"; moves left all cells to the right
        oDoc.ShiftLeft("B3:B6")
        ' Deletes the first column in the range "A3:D6"
        oDoc.ShiftLeft("A3:D6", Columns := 1)
        ' The deleted columns (A to D) spans all rows in the sheet
        oDoc.ShiftLeft("A3:D6", WholeColumn := True)

##### In Python

        myDoc.ShiftLeft("B3:B6")
        myDoc.ShiftLeft("A3:D6", Columns = 1)
        myDoc.ShiftLeft("A3:D6", WholeColumn = True)

## ShiftUp

Deletes the topmost rows of a given range and moves upwards all cells below the affected range. The current selection is not affected.

Depending on the value of the wholerow argument the deleted rows can either span the width of the specified range or span all columns in the row.

This method returns a string representing the location of the remaining portion of the initial range. If all cells in the original range have been deleted, then an empty string is returned.

### Sintaxe:

svc.ShiftUp(range: str, wholerow: bool = False, opt rows: int): str

### Parâmetros:

range: The range from which cells will be deleted, as a string.

wholerow: If set to False (default), then the width of the deleted rows will be the same as the width of the specified range. Otherwise, the deleted row will span all columns in the sheet.

##### In Basic

        ' Deletes the range "A3:D3"; moves all cells below it by one row up
        oDoc.ShiftUp("A3:D3")
        ' Deletes the first row in the range "A3:D6"
        oDoc.ShiftUp("A3:D6", Rows := 1)
        ' The deleted rows spans all columns in the sheet
        oDoc.ShiftUp("A3:D6", WholeRow := True)

##### In Python

        myDoc.ShiftUp("A3:D3")
        myDoc.ShiftUp("A3:D6", rows = 1)
        myDoc.ShiftUp("A3:D6", wholerow = True)

## ShiftRight

Moves a given range of cells to the right by inserting empty columns. The current selection is not affected.

Depending on the value of the wholecolumn argument the inserted columns can either span the height of the specified range or span all rows in the column.

This method returns a string representing the new location of the initial range.

If the shifted range exceeds the sheet edges, then nothing happens.

### Sintaxe:

svc.ShiftRight(range: str, wholecolumn: bool = False, opt columns: int): str

### Parâmetros:

range: The range which will have empty columns inserted to its left, as a string.

wholecolumn: If set to False (default), then the height of the inserted columns will be the same as the height of the specified range. Otherwise, the inserted columns will span all rows in the sheet.

        myDoc.ShiftRight("A3:A6", columns = 5)
        myDoc.ShiftRight("A3:A6", wholecolumn = True)

## SortRange

Sort the given range on any number of columns/rows. The sorting order may vary by column/row. If the number of sort keys is > 3 then the range is sorted several times, by groups of 3 keys, starting from the last key. It returns a string representing the modified range of cells. The size of the modified area is fully determined by the size of the source area.

### Sintaxe:

svc.SortRange(range: str, sortkeys: any, sortorder: any = "ASC", destinationcell: str = "", containsheader: bool = False, casesensitive: bool = False, sortcolumns: bool = False): str

### Parâmetros:

range: The range to be sorted, as a string.

sortkeys: A scalar (if 1 column/row) or an array of column/row numbers starting from 1.

sortorder: A scalar or an array of strings containing the values "ASC" (ascending), "DESC" (descending). Each item is paired with the corresponding item in sortkeys. If the sortorder array is shorter than sortkeys, the remaining keys are sorted in ascending order.

destinationcell: The destination cell of the sorted range of cells, as a string. If a range is given, only its top-left cell is considered. By default the source Range is overwritten.

containsheader: When True, the first row/column is not sorted.

casesensitive: Only for string comparisons. Default = False

sortcolumns: When True, the columns are sorted from left to right. Default = False: rows are sorted from top to bottom.

### Exemplo:

##### In Basic

        'Sort range based on columns A (ascending) and C (descending)
        oDoc.SortRange("A2:J200", Array(1, 3), Array("ASC", "DESC"), CaseSensitive := True)

##### In Python

        myDoc.SortRange("A2:J200", (1, 3), ("ASC", "DESC"), casesensitive = True)
