List Comprehension is a very useful code mechanism that is found in several languages, such as Haskell, Python, and Ruby (just to name a few off the top of my head). I’m familiar with the construct.

I find myself working on an Open Office Spreadsheet and I need to do something fairly common: I want to count all of the values in a range of cells that fall between a high and low bounds. I instantly thought that list comprehension would do the trick, but I can’t find anything analogous in Open Office. There is a function called ‘COUNTIF’, and it something similar, but not quite what I need.

Is there a construct in Open Office that could be used for list comprehension?

  1. CountIf can count values equal to one chosen. Unfortunately it seems that there is no good candidate for such function. Alternatively you can use additional column with If to display 1 or 0 if the value fits in range or not accordingly:

    =If(AND({list_cell}>=MinVal; {list_cell}<=MaxVal); 1; 0)

    Then only thing left is to sum up this additional column.
