Comment on How to Remove Duplicate Rows in Calc [OOo, LibreOffice & NeoOffice] by Craig A

For a simple approach to removing duplicates you could:
1. Use ‘sort ascending’ then add an extra column (you can remove it later)
2. Add the branching statement (IF) as mentioned in previous posts eg: =IF(A2=A3,1,0)
copy and paste the formula into all the cells in the new column. (left click and hold, then drag down)
This will place a ’0′ in the column where no match is found.

3. Now add auto filter to the new column (the one with the 1 or zero) and filter for zero
This will only show the those rows where no duplication has occurred.
4. Copy all the rows and paste into new spreadsheet if desired.

You could on step ’3′ filter for 1 rather than zero and delete the results, this will delete the duplicate rows in your spreadsheet.

I hope this helps someone, spreadsheets can be a real pain sometimes when you get stuck.

To change the width units of the lines drawn from the “drawing” toolbar in writer, one must do a similar process through OO Draw. Open up new drawing then, tools –> options, OpenOffice.org Draw, General, Unit of Measurement. Be sure to scroll to the top, there are many more units in Draw (e.g. Kilometer). OK, close, restart OpenOffice.

Maricar – you should direct your comments to the software programmers at the http://openoffice.org site – I just help people with solutions. I don’t actually write the software. Good luck!
