Linking Spreadsheet Data

1. Name the two ways to link the sheets in a LibreOfficeb Calc.


It can be done in two ways, one is creating reference to other sheets by
using keyboard and mouse, and other is by linking external data.
2. Differentiate between Relative and Absolute Hyperlink.
Ans. An absolute hyperlink stores the complete location where the file is
stored. So, if the file is removed from the location, absolute hyperlink
will not work. For example: C:\Users\ADMIN\Downloads\try.ods is an
absolute link as it defines the complete path of the file.
A relative hyperlink stores the location with respect to the current
location. For example: Admin\Downloads\try.ods is a relative hyperlink
as it is dependent on the current location. If the complete folder
containing the active spreadsheet is moved the relative link will still be
accessible as it is bound to the source folder where the active
spreadsheet is stored.
3. Write steps to extract a table from a web page in a spreadsheet.
Ans. Steps to extract a table from a web page in a spreadsheet are:

Automatic shows data in the same language as in the webpage.

click OK.

Sometimes reviewers may not record the changes they make. In this case Calc
can find the changes by comparing documents.
