function - Using built in Calc function when recording a macro

Question

I am working through Excel for Engineers and trying to adapt it for LibreOffice Calc. I have run into a problem. I know this is easier to do without using macros but humor me. One of the exercises is to start recording a macro, type:

=RAND()

hit enter and stop recording.

When I run the macro nothing happens. I try to use any other Calc built in function and the same thing happens. Looking at the macro basic file and sure enough nothing is happening.

Can I use built in functions when recording a macro? If so how?

目前，LibreOffice 宏录制器不录制添加内置函数。事实上，记录器有很多限制，通常会导致代码很差（主要使用调度程序）。

相反，根据文档编写 API 代码，例如https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Spreadsheets/Function_Handling。

Sub CallSpreadsheetFunction
    funcAcc = createUnoService("com.sun.star.sheet.FunctionAccess")
    oSheet = ThisComponent.getSheets().getByIndex(0)
    oCell = oSheet.getCellRangeByName("A1")
    oCell.setValue(funcAcc.callFunction("RAND", Array()))
End Sub

请注意，学习 LibreOffice Basic 对了解 MS Office VBA 没有太大帮助。这两种语言和平台完全不同。
