Using Math Functions Math functions are very useful for making formulas shorter and easier to edit. A math function performs specific operations on a single argument or on a list of arguments. Arguments are included in a pair of parentheses following the function name. A function name always starts with the character @. Arguments are the numeric data that the function will process to return a result. Valid arguments are numbers, characters within double quote marks (" ") (only for @REPEAT and @IF) and/or cell addresses separated with commas, or a range defined by the addresses of two opposite corners, separated with two periods (..). Example: @SUM(1,A1,4,B6) returns the sum 1+Al +4+B6 @SUM(A1..B4) returns the sum Al +B1+A2+B2+A3+B3+A4+B4 • Some functions like @INT accept only one argument. In that case, using more than one argument or using a range makes the formula invalid. • A range can be used simultaneously with numbers or addresses. Example: @SUM(1,A1..B4) and @SUM(A23,A1..B6) are valid. A function is a valid operand of a formula and a formula is a valid argument of a function. Example: 1+Al+@SUM(B2..C5) is a valid formula. @SUM(1+2), @SUM(+Al), and @SUM(1+M) are valid. Range of cells A range is no more than a group of cells enclosed in a rectangle, and therefore, can be specified by the addresses of two opposite corners. When using math functions, you specify a range using the notation Al __C3, for example. Ynii could also specify the same range with A3..C1, Cl..A3, or C3..A1. C2: 6 A BC D E F G H I J K 1 Range Al .. C3, A3. . Cl 2 Cl . . A3, or C3 .. Al 3 4 5 This is not a range. Spreadsheet 97

Using
Math
Functions
Math
functions
are
very
useful
for
making
formulas
shorter
and
easier
to
edit.
A
math
function
performs
specific
operations
on
a
single
argument
or
on
a
list
of
arguments.
Arguments
are
included
in
a
pair
of
parentheses
following
the
function
name.
A
function
name
always
starts
with
the
character
@.
Arguments
are
the
numeric
data
that
the
function
will
process
to
return
a
result.
Valid
arguments
are
numbers,
characters
within
double
quote
marks
("
")
(only
for
@REPEAT
and
@IF)
and/or
cell
addresses
separated
with
commas,
or
a
range
defined
by
the
addresses
of
two
opposite
corners,
separated
with
two
periods
(..).
Example:
@SUM(1,A1
,4,B
6)
returns
the
sum
1
+Al
+4
+B6
@SUM
(A1
..B4)
returns
the
sum
Al
+B
1
+A2
+B2
+A3+
B3
+A4+
B4
Some
functions
like
@INT
accept
only
one
argument.
In
that
case,
using
more
than
one
argument
or
using
a
range
makes
the
formula
invalid.
A
range
can
be
used
simultaneously
with
numbers
or
addresses.
Example:
@SUM(1,A1..B4)
and
@SUM(A23,A1..B6)
are
valid.
A
function
is
a
valid
operand
of
a
formula
and
a
formula
is
a
valid
argument
of
a
function.
Example:
1+Al+@SUM(B2..C5)
is
a
valid
formula.
@SUM(1+2),
@SUM(+Al),
and
@SUM(1+M)
are
valid.
Range
of
cells
A
range
is
no
more
than
a
group
of
cells
enclosed
in
a
rectangle,
and
therefore,
can
be
specified
by
the
addresses
of
two
opposite
corners.
When
using
math
functions,
you
specify
a
range
using
the
notation
Al
__C3,
for
example.
Ynii
could
also
specify
the
same
range
with
A3..C1,
Cl..A3,
or
C3..A1.
C2:
1
2
3
4

J
K
Range
Al
..
C3,
A3.
.
Cl
Cl
. .
A3,
or
C3
..
Al
This
is
not
a
range.
