From my perspective, it looks like Microsoft Excell 2019 is offering the following additional functionality: * Real Time Currency Exchange Rates; * Real Time Stock Market Data; * Historical Currency Exchange Rates; * Historical Stock Market Data; * Census data; * Scientific knowledge; * Political knowledge; * Geographical knowledge; * Sports knowlege; * General knowledge; * Pop Trivia --- everything not covered above; Break this up into basic steps. Real time Stock Market Data and Currency Exchange data was available using the Get_Quote Extension, which stopped working when Yahoo changed their financial portal structure: * Rewriting it for Currency Exchange data from XE.com is a possible solution - user API key is required; * I don't know what the rules are, for any current vendors of stock market data. I didn't use Get_Quote, because it didn't cover the stock exchange I tracked - each stock market probably needs its own extension. Census Data: Web scraping might be possible. * US Census data is available using the appropriate APIs. User key required; * I didn't look at census data for other countries; * Initially at least, create extensions that are country specific; The following knowledge sets: * Scientific knowledge; * Political knowledge; * Geographical knowledge; * Sports knowledge; * General knowledge; * Pop Trivia --- everything not covered above; probably can be pulled, at least in part, from WikiData. Personally, I'd like to see both a cloud based, and non-cloud based version of an extension that uses WikiData. However, at 31 GB for a zipped archive, it might be too big to be practical. The second big issue is, will whoever creates the extension, also maintain it? ### I don't see the relevance of Bug 116762 to this issue. The extension described therein, maybe. jonathon _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
