If you wanted you could add more data to the plot as well as label data but neither of these options apply to us. There is nothing to modify in this window. You will then see the followingīe sure to select “data series in columns” and “first row as label.” Then click next and you will see the following. To make the plot you need to select the two column with data in them and click on insert -> chart and you will see the following.īe sure to select the XY (Scatter) option and click next. Given the nature of this dataset, there was no need to make any preparation. Below are the first few rows of the data in this example. In order to make a scatterplot you need to columns of data. This post will explain how to make a scatterplot and calculate correlation in LibreOffice Calc. This ensures that your computer is not solely occupied with updating the sheet.A scatterplot is used to observe the relationship between two continuous variables. In the Data menu, the menu item Calculate - AutoCalculate is normally active however, automatic calculation does not apply to the function NOW. This value is not automatically updated, although "Now" continuously changes. The values are calculated as of the exact moment when you entered the last formula and pressed the Enter key. The time since your date of birth will be calculated and displayed in the various units.
The number of days between today's date and the specified date is displayed in cell A3.Įxperiment with some additional formulas: in A4 enter =A3*24 to calculate the hours, in A5 enter =A4*60 for the minutes, and in A6 enter =A5*60 for seconds. To display the result as a number, set the number format to "-1,234" and close the dialog with the OK button. The format is set to "General", which causes the result of a calculation containing date entries to be displayed as a date.
On the Numbers tab, the "Number" category will appear already highlighted. Place the cursor in cell A3, right-click to open a context menu and choose Format Cells. Since the result should show the difference between two dates as a number of days, you must format cell A3 as a number. In a spreadsheet, enter your birthday in cell A1.Įnter the following formula in cell A3: =NOW()-A1Īfter pressing the Enter key you will see the result in date format. As an example, to find out exactly how old you are in seconds or hours, follow the following steps: In LibreOffice Calc, you can perform calculations with current date and time values.
