Calc - Refer to other documents

User Support

Hey everyone!

I use Collabora in my Nextcloud and it works really great!

There is just one small thing that I cannot find anything on how to do it: Refering to other documents in Calc.
In Excel you can refer other documents with something like
=SUM(D:\Reports\[Sales.xlsx]Jan!B2:B5)
but I can find no similar functionality in my Nextcloud/Collabora.

Am I missing something or does this not exist? And if it does not exist - is there something planned?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi Hauke!

I’m glad you’re enjoying Collabora with Nextcloud—it’s a powerful combo!

Collabora Online in Nextcloud doesn’t support referencing external documents like Excel does—it’s not currently available. I couldn’t find an exact match in the Collabora Online GitHub issues.

If you can help creating a GitHub issue for it? Here’s the issue page:

GitHub · Where software is built.

Thanks
