OpenOffice.org: macro help

Question

In OOo Calc

I need to copy a column (only the values, not the format) from one sheet to another (in the same worksheet) using a macro assigned to a button.

I browsed a bit around but found nothing significant :-(

Answer 1

To answer the original question:

use a data array, which will be significally faster on large ranges of cells

Source = ThisWeek.getCellRangeByName("H12:H206")
source_data = Source.getDataArray()

Target = Steering.getCellRangeByName("M12:AU206").setDataArray(source_data())

Answer 2

OK, I could build the answer and started learning OOo Basic, which I managed to avoid until now ;-)

I give it as is.

Sub UpdateThisWeek

Dim Doc As Object
Dim ThisWeek As Object
Dim Steering As Object
Dim Source As Object
Dim Target As Object
Dim Week as Integer

Doc = ThisComponent
ThisWeek = Doc.Sheets.getByName("This week")
Steering = Doc.Sheets.getByName("Steering")
Week = Steering.getCellByPosition(6,4).Value
Source = ThisWeek.getCellRangeByName("H12:H206")
Target = Steering.getCellRangeByName("M12:AU206").getCellRangeByPosition(Week-19,0,Week-19,194)

Dim i, s
For i = 0 To 194
    s = Source.getCellByPosition(0, i).Value
    If s > 0 Then
        Target.getCellByPosition(0, i).Value = s
    Else
        Target.getCellByPosition(0, i).String = ""
    End If
Next i

End Sub
