Hi ,I use this code  export tables from autocad to Excel. I am using Libre Office now and this code not working. Can any one help?

;To determine which cells to merge, a selection at point is used.

;If no selection is made, the point is at the center or left of horizontally merged cells.
;For each column, a selection is attempted at each horizontal line at column's center.
;If no selection is made, the point is at the center or upper region of vertically merged cells.
;Continuation of merging is determined by a 'consecutive miss'.

I might be wrong here but s there anything in the code that specifies Excel? That is the first search I would do, next perhaps Libre office uses different terminology to Excel (I don't know), but after searching for 'Excel' there might be other terms in there to change, ranges, cells, sheets and workbooks -should- all be called the same, it is what they are, but you never know.

 

We use Excel so I can't check this out really but might be something to start off looking at?

Hi Steven P. This code gives me this error for Libre Office

 

Command:
Sorting Line Info...
Sorting Text Info...
Sorting Block Info...
Searching for merged cells...
<bad argument type: VLA-OBJECT nil>

 

Thanks

The Excel VBA is not compatible with the StarBasic+LibreOffice_API environment.The LibreOffice can run some VBA codes, but not all of them.

So, if your code has any “XL…” variables in it, you can look up the REAL value on the web (Enumeration of that variable) and that seems to work for almost anything I’ve tried. those variables are obfuscation as far as I’m concerned.

Wow waded through the code and thought its about twice what it should be. Yes read a 8 column text around 200+ rows normally some more.

Your error is probably this looks for excel.

(setq    xlapp    (vlax-get-or-create-object "Excel.Application") 

Ok need the same for libre Office a real guess,

 

(setq    xlapp    (vlax-get-or-create-object "Libre.Application") 

 

Go onto a Libre.Office forum and ask the question there, about a get application, if not available then its back to CSV output.
