Description David Martin 2019-11-26 16:39:36 UTC
Description:
In Libreoffice Calc, I want to make cell data from another sheet show up in the primary sheet. I found the =sheet function in the help section online and followed the process but it doesn't work. I created a brand new spreadsheet to test with and followed the directions precisely yet it still doesn't return any results. The function must be broken somehow.
Example in sheet1 cell A1 I input =sheet2.a1 and then in sheet 2 I wrote 5. On sheet 1 I should see 5 there but instead I see #REF!

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type =Sheet2.A1 into Sheet1 cell A1
2.Type 5 into Sheet2 cell A1
3.Return to Sheet1 cell A1 and you will see it says #REF!

Actual Results:
#REF!

Expected Results:
5


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
This may not sound major but I have a spreadsheet with nearly 45 sheets that I want to extract data from to place into a sortable table in the primary sheet.

I discovered the problem.
A) My sheet titles have spaces in them which doesn't work so underscores were used to fix the problem.
B) In testing with a fresh spreadsheet, I was getting an error because I created the formula in sheet1 before sheet2 existed. Once sheet2 was created the formula worked after  I cleared the cell and started over in sheet1.
