Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-3494) Part 2 6.13 AddCURRENTVALUE function
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3494?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=22931#action_22931 ]
Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-3494:
-----------------------------------------
There is an interesting problem about what syntax is used for the value of table:base-cell-address and if we get into relative sheet names were are in deep trouble. I assume the syntax is specified in ODF 1.2 Part 1 and has nothing to do with what the syntax of the table:condition formula and its constituent expressions might be.
However, that is not relevant to the proposal of CURRENTVALUE( ) which is the subject of this issue.
So the examples worked well enough to understand what Eike meant by saying that table:base-cell-address does the job already, and I am going no further. Thanks for the clarification, Andreas.
> Part 2 6.13 Add CURRENTVALUE function

> Key: OFFICE-3494
> URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-3494
> Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC
> Issue Type: Sub-task

> Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 CD 05
> Reporter: Dennis Hamilton

> Fix For: ODF 1.2 CD 06

> The CURRENTVALUE( ) function is an additional Information Function that provides access to the existing value in the context for which the OpenFormula formula is being evaluated.
> This function corresponds to the current-content( ) function defined in ODF 1.2 style:condition and table:condition attributes and it has the same purpose:
> Whenever the evaluation is in a context where there is a current value, that value is made available to the evaluation as the result of CURRENTVALUE( ). [Note: a current value need not be associated with a specific cell or even a table, depending on the context in which the evaluation is employed.]
> Whenever the current value is that of a table cell, that value is delivered in the same manner as if CURRENTVALUE( ) were a reference to that cell.
> CURRENTVALUE( ) is a special form of reference that delivers a value based on the context of evaluation.
> When there is no current value available, CURRENTVALUE( ) returns an error-type value. If the current value is an error-type value, that error is returned.
> Evaluation of CURRENTVALUE( ) shall not induce recalculation. It does not constitute a recursive reference of any kind.
