Hi karolus. Once again thank you for taking the time to comment my articles, your remarks are clever and helpful. So I will be revamping this tutorial or making an extra one at some point, to simplify the process of managing ranges of cells. Many thanks

Another constructive comment from you karolus, Thanks a lot. I do agree that it would simplify the macro and maybe avoid miscalculation of ranges. However I wanted to illustrate getRangeAddress in combination with getCellRangeByPosition and getCellRangeByName. Now, thanks to you, I am thinking of writing another tutorial using the createCursor and createCursorByRange functions.

cursor = sheet.createCursor()
#or:
cursor = sheet.createCursorByRange( some_cell_range )
# these cursor-objects are simply CellRanges
# but with additional Methods to shrink|expand in size:
cursor.collapseToSize(width_in_columns, height_in_rows)
# …and to move around relativ to current Area:
cursor.gotoOffset( number_of_Columns, number_of_Rows )
# Use it instead your errorprone target-range-calculations via ….getRangeAddress!

Thank you nukool for your comments. I am really happy to hear from you again! I am looking at your bug reports question and will get back to you regarding gotoEndofUsedArea. I suspect it’d be the same problem when using Python as PyUno is just a binding of LibreOffice Uno environment. However I am sure it is possible to build a python script to do what you want. Thanks

The problem is gotoEndofUsedArea.
I have reported and asked as follows:
1. https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/257095/basiccalc-gotoendofusedarea/
2. https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135203
3. https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=102683
4. No. 3 is separated from the old question, https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=102683

I have not started learning Python for using with Lo yet. But I would like to ask if it has the same problem in using Python ?
