Description Oliver Brinzing 2003-01-23 19:39:20 UTC 
Hi,

I would like to have two more formulars in calc:

- SheetName(SheetNo)  -> returns the sheetname as string

- DocumentName(Index) -> returns the document name as string
                         with the options: path, name, name + ext
 
  maybe same as in the header/footer content ? At the moment the
  SheetNo (=Tabelle()) and SheetCount (=Tabellen()) are present as
  formulars ...
  
At the moment I use macros to do this but I noticed two 
major problems with these basic functions:

1. Please have a look at Issue #8869

2. When the user changes the sheet/documentname
   or copies a sheet over the GUI the basic functions
   still show the old names, cause they do not notice 
   the change. I have to use oDocument.calculateAll() 
   to update the functions ... Manuall updates with
   <F9> seems not to work here ...

regards

Oliver

Hello Niklas, please give approval for this evaluated OO.o 2.0 flagged

If you confirm with the target OO.o 2.0, then please keep it on your
owner (or the owner of the concerning developer) for implementation.
In case you want this issue for 'OOo Later', then please reset the
target milestone. If you decline the issue finally, please set the
resolution to 'Wontfix' (but do not close). In case of 'OOo Later' or
'Wontfix' please reset it on Bettina's owner. Thank you.

This is not on the list of features that we're going to do for 2.0. We need to
focus on the enhancements from the PCD document.
Comment 5 gercokees 2007-03-06 15:20:59 UTC 
And how about 2.3?
Comment 6 gercokees 2007-03-07 08:32:31 UTC 
There is a workaround for this one.
=cell("filename")
gives the complete path and the sheetname in one string.
Then, using regular expresions, find the position of the "$" character,
at this positon the sheetname starts.
Thus:
a1: = cell("filename")
a2: = RIGHT(P6;LEN(P6)-SEARCH("[$]";P6))

(be sure you selected to use regular-expresions: tools > options > enable
regulare expresions

Comment 9 Oliver Brinzing 2009-05-19 07:08:22 UTC 
the workaround 

=ZELLE("filename";C9)
=RECHTS(C9;LÄNGE(C9)-SUCHEN("[$]";C9))

will fail, if one changes the sheetname

so is there a chance to make the =Cell() function 
aware of sheet/document name changes ?

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
