Use a macro to access sheets. Text of macro follows. REM ***** BASIC ***** Sub Main End Sub Function ReturnSheetName(Optional nSheet) If IsMissing(nSheet) Then ReturnSheetName = ThisComponent.getCurrentController.getActiveSheet.getName() Else ReturnSheetName = ThisComponent.getSheets().getByIndex(nSheet-1).getName() EndIf End Function function number_of_sheets() number_of_sheets = ThisComponent.Sheets.Count end function When the spreadsheet is opened error messages are thrown: BASIC runtime error. An exception occurred Type: com.sun.star.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException Message: . BASIC runtime error. Property or method not found: getSheets. By clicking on the "Ok" box of the error message window every time it appears, the spreadsheet will eventuall open. Then, CTRL+f9 in the cells showing error will fix everything and the desired result is achieved. If the macro eventually works, why the errors when the spreadsheet is opened? cell contents (of cell B10), call to getSheets: =RETURNSHEETNAME(ROW()-8) used for (contents of adjacent cell, C10): =INDIRECT("$'"&B10&"'"&".$E$4") The idea is to avoid having to type in the sheet names, and pull values from the desired sheet.
(In reply to Henry Hall from comment #0) >When the spreadsheet is opened error messages are thrown: This issue looks like a duplicate of: Bug 123005 - FILEOPEN: Error on creating getCurrentController().getActiveSheet() for basic script from location=document > The idea is to avoid having to type in the sheet names, and pull values from > the desired sheet. Maybe this could be a workaround: =MID(CELL("FILENAME");FIND("#$";CELL("FILENAME")&0*RAND())+2;256) Bug 121422 - The CELL function does not change the result after changing the name of the sheet.
