Lox365 is a LibreOffice Calc extension that adds modern spreadsheet functions like XLOOKUP, FILTER, and more.
Do you like using Lox365? Let me know in the Discussions. Maybe buy me a coffee.
- Download the extension
Lox365.oxtfrom Releases. - Start LibreOffice > Tools > Extension Manager > Add > Select the oxt file > restart LibreOffice.
Use the function like you would any other function in LibreOffice Calc.
To output results in multiple cells, enter your formula with Ctrl + Shift + Enter.
This is because Lox365 functions are array functions. LibreOffice Calc does not support Excel's dynamic arrays.
Filters an array.
Similar to Excel's FILTER.
=FILTER(array, include, [if_empty])
array: The array to filter.include: An array of booleans where TRUE represents a row or column to retain.[if_empty]: Returned if no items are retained. Optional.
Returns an image from a given source.
The source can be a local image file or a web URL. You can use a web URL of a third-party service to generate, for example, a QR code, equation, or diagram.
Similar to Excel's IMAGE.
=IMAGE(out_cell, source)
out_cell: Reference to the cell where the image is to be placed.source: The path of the source that points to the image.
Sorts an array.
Similar to Excel's SORT.
=SORT(array, [sort_index], [sort_order])
array: The array to sort.[sort_index]: A number indicating the row or column to sort by. Optional.[sort_order]: A number indicating the desired sort order; 1 for ascending order (default), -1 for descending order. Optional.- Not supported:
by_col.
Splits text into columns using delimiters.
Similar to Excel's TEXTSPLIT.
=TEXTSPLIT(text, col_delimiter)
text: The text you want to split.col_delimiter: The text that marks the point where to split the text across columns.- Not supported:
row_delimiter,ignore_empty,match_mode,pad_with.
Returns the array as one column.
Similar to Excel's TOCOL.
=TOCOL(array)
array: The array to return as a column.- Not supported:
ignore,scan_by_column.
Returns the unique values from a range or array.
Similar to Excel's UNIQUE.
=UNIQUE(array)
array: The array from which to return unique rows.- Not supported:
by_col,exactly_once.
Searches an array for a match and returns the corresponding item from a second array.
Similar to Excel's XLOOKUP.
=XLOOKUP(lookup_value, lookup_array, return_array, [if_not_found])
lookup_value: The value to search for.lookup_array: The array to search.return_array: The array to return.[if_not_found]: Where a valid match is not found, return the [if_not_found] text you supply. Optional.- Not supported:
match_mode,search_mode.
I use these functions quite often in Excel and wanted to use them in LibreOffice too, so I made this.
