New project is to get a mini fanless PC running Linux Mint.
When I try to run HYPTUSS under Open Office, the macros do not go - because Python for the scripts is not supported. What package should I load for Python? The software manager presented me with a bucket load of options that I did not understand.
Excuse me that this question is more about Linux that the spreadsheet

OpenOffice is essentially obsolete. Virtually all the development effort has been going into LibreOffice. LibreOffice ships with Linux Mint nowadays. You could try LibreOffice with an up to date copy of Mint.

Sorry, my confused use of names - I am actually using Libre Office on Linux Mint. Question about Python/macros still stands

See page 2 of the USer Guide
If you use LibreOffice on Ubuntu, you may need to install the Python Script Provider from
http://tinyurl.com/y9tnmvtg to allow the macros to work.
I can't remember if I had to do this on Mint, but I suspect so
Hope this helps

kiloran,
copied and pasted the Python script provider into the MInt software manager, and loaded up - worked, now able to enable macros, fetch prices and yields. Thank you.
Tried to do the charts, and got:
Error 503 Backend fetch failed
Backend fetch failed

Glad the script provider worked.
I recently found that the MoneyAM charts are no longer working, the website has changed and the new charts are not usable. You can change the chart source to LiveCharts on the Parameters sheet.
I'm working on an alternative to MoneyAM charts

I've also found that there has been a small change on the Stockopedia site so dividends also fail with Stockopedia as a source (LibreOffice on Windows, haven't checked on Linux). I have a fix ready to go.
