FREEPLANE CHANGE NODE ORDER MANUAL

Further, the correspondent attribute values would a copy of the values of the variables in the correspondent row (record) of the spreadsheet.ĭ) the resulting sort of matrix (from a, b, c) would be populated automatically but would also allow for manual editing of the values, so dat the user can observe the results/effect of changing the values of the matrix on the values calculated with Formulas. the variables- of the spreadsheet database would be the attributes (specifically: the attribute names) in all child nodes. records) in the selected range of the spreadsheet database, and every child node would represent 1 row (record) of the spreadsheet (in a 1 to 1 relationship) Ĭ) the column-heads -i.e. In case the algorithm for the 'transport' was developed, I had imagined to operate in the following way to construct the data matrix in Freeplane:Ī) one node -a parent node- represents one spreadsheet table ī) the parent node would have as many child nodes as the number of rows (i.e. I can see, however, the enormous importance of the issue he poses because, as I said, if a way can be found to make the 'transport' of data then this would open the possibility to use Freeplane in uncountable number of applications combining calculations with text and images in a very accessible way for the user. I see, as I understand, that this idea has much in common with David's issue, but I am a simple Freeplane user and cannot translate my question into programing terms. Once the tables (or table ranges) would be copied to and stored in a sort of matrix structured on attributes, I thought, the construction of any number of quantitative simulation models with Freeplane Formulas would be a very easy task (apart of course of the disponibility of more calculation functions in Formulas: statistical, etc.): probability and statistical calculation models, score cards using Freeplane tree as console, financial and logistic flows, price indexes, and so on. This question arose for me when I saw the big possibilities open by the Formulas feature and realized that these possibilities could only be exploited by users to construct quantitative models in Freeplane when there would be a way to 'transport' (copy) a database spreadsheet into Freeplane.

I have been wondering whether it would be possible (and how) to copy a spreadshet database (or rather a range of it) into Freeplane. All of this data needs to be observed for compliance to goals (deadlines, warnings, etc), and I would like to be able to tie some of this information back to a main GUI console for my business - that will be a mind map, since mind maps work well it seems with how mind works, visually.

Other sheets, as I've mentioned track inventory, maintenance schedules for machinery, calendars (which are scripted to send email notifications, etc.), sales orders and job worksheets, estimates, accounting spreadsheets (very complex and scripted). This data flows into the spreadsheets and is interfaced with through fairly complex GUI's and forms which I've created, and huge amounts of data are transacted and calculated and dynamically altered by the user in the sheets to for instance manually and visually average out measurement device errors. Volker, I am using Excel spreadsheets which are programmed to accept input from measuring instruments. Freeplane is a very exciting program for me, for many reasons, even just thinking.ĭavid ddacaro Posts: 3 Joined: Mon 5:58 amĭieter, yes the levels limit would be a problem. Thanks so much Volker and anyone else who has ideas on this. mm files to make this integration easier. The secondary desire I had was if anyone had already created an easy way to link Excel to. So, within Freeplane, I need some way to automatically refresh the view to show changes within the. mm mind map file to add a node, 'Warning, Inventory Low!'. When inventory gets low for some item as reflected in the spreadsheet, Excel/VBA will need to realtime modify an open. For example, I have inventory spreadsheets. mm file via VBA depending upon whatever my spreadsheets need to appear in the mind map. The spreadsheet will be controlling and changing the mind map by altering the. This is because from within Excel, I will be using Visual Basic to externally modify the. The most important goal for me is to have Freeplane refresh it's view/nodes. However, I actually don't need to perform calculations in Freeplane itself. Hello Volker, thanks for responding and pointing me to the calculations and scripting examples.
