Working with functions In the Help index,* see: E functions AppleWorks provides functions, or built-in routines, that you can use alone or include in a formula. Use functions to perform computations-such as summing a group of numbers or deriving a square root-without having to type the entire formula. You can use a function by itself in a formula, or you can combine it with other values, operators, cell references, and functions. For an example of a simple function, see "Example: Using the AVERAGE function" on page 7-28. * Choose Index from the or Help menu and scroll to the entry.
