Version 1.0.0 is here
This is a Python based extension for LibreOffice Calc to make real-time data available in Calc spreadsheets. It is a simple implementation similar to Microsoft Excel RTD() function
This implementation is based on https://github.com/cmallwitz/Financials-Extension Cheers mate, it would've been impossible without your code
Please provide feedback about using the extension here
Under 'Releases' on GitHub there is a downloadable RTD-Extension.oxt file - load it into Calc under menu item: Tools, Extension Manager...
Please make sure, not to rename the OXT file when downloading and before installing: LO will mess up the installation otherwise and the extension won't work.
Getting data should be as simple as having this in a cell: =RTD("key")
Now, in a different cell, type =RTD("__start") and a TCP listener will be started waiting for incoming data.
Next, data needs to be sent using a socket to port 13000.
If you wish to manually test it, open up a telnet in a terminal: telnet localhost 13000.
In the telnet, write '<key|example_data>' and then press ENTER.
The cell with the formula =RTD("key") (from section 1) will now show "example_data" instead of "None"
You will need the LibreOffice SDK installed.
On my system (Ubuntu) I downloaded both LibreOffice & LibreOffice SDK from https://www.libreoffice.org/ and followed the instructions
# depending on your location...
cd ~/RTD-Extension/
# This builds file RTD-Extension.oxt
