5. Press RETURN again. The result, 21, appears in cell D2. n2- @SUM(A1 ..C2) A BC D E 1 23 2 4 5 6 21 F G HI J K The method of specifying cell addresses by moving the cursor instead of typing the address itself can actually be used not only to specify a range in a math function, but also to specify a single address in any formula. Example: To enter (A1+B1) in Cl, move the cursor to Cl and type (. From this moment, the machine knows that the data is a formula and allows you to move the cursor to a cell. Instead of typing Al, move the cursor to Al and press +. The input area now displays (Al+. You are again allowed to move the cursor to a cell. Move the cursor to B1 and press RETURN. The input area now displays (Al+B1). Press RETURN to finish and calculate the result. Spreadsheet Functions Some functions can process only one or two arguments, and are very similar to the math functions. Arguments may include not only direct number inputs, but cell addresses as well. The most sophisticated function of the spreadsheet can process multiple arguments. Arguments may be written individually, separating each with a comma, or, if all the arguments belong to a range, the range can be specified by the addresses of two opposite corners, using two periods as a separator. Arguments may be defined as a range or may consist of any combination of direct numbers and cell addresses. Functions using one or two arguments @ABS : Gives the absolute value of the argument. If the argument is positive, or Lew, die SaLI1C value is returned; if the argument is negative, the opposite of the argument is returned. @ABS(5) gives 5 GABS(-5) gives 5 @INT : Gives the integer part of the argument. The decimal point and subsequent decimal digits are removed without being rounded off; an integer will remain untouched. @INT(5) gives 5 @INT(0.9) gives 0 OINT(I.1) gives 1 @MOD : Divides the first argument by the second and gives the remainder of the division. @MOD(10,3) gives 1 @MOD(2.3,2) gives 0.3 @MOD(0.33,2) gives 0.33 Spreadsheet 99

The
method
of
specifying
cell
addresses
by
moving
the
cursor
instead
of
typing
the
address
itself
can
actually
be
used
not
only
to
specify
a
range
in
a
math
function,
but
also
to
specify
a
single
address
in
any
formula.
Example:
To
enter
(A1+B1)
in
Cl,
move
the
cursor
to
Cl
and
type
(.
From
this
moment,
the
machine
knows
that
the
data
is
a
formula
and
allows
you
to
move
the
cursor
to
a
cell.
Instead
of
typing
Al,
move
the
cursor
to
Al
and
press
+.
The
input
area
now
displays
(Al+.
You
are
again
allowed
to
move
the
cursor
to
a
cell.
Move
the
cursor
to
B1
and
press
RETURN.
The
input
area
now
displays
(Al+B1).
Press
RETURN
to
finish
and
calculate
the
result.
Some
functions
can
process
only
one
or
two
arguments,
and
are
very
similar
to
the
math
functions.
Arguments
may
include
not
only
direct
number
inputs,
but
cell
addresses
as
well.
The
most
sophisticated
function
of
the
spreadsheet
can
process
multiple
arguments.
Arguments
may
be
written
individually,
separating
each
with
a
comma,
or,
if
all
the
arguments
belong
to
a
range,
the
range
can
be
specified
by
the
addresses
of
two
opposite
corners,
using
two
periods
as
a
separator.
Arguments
may
be
defined
as
a
range
or
may
consist
of
any
combination
of
direct
numbers
and
cell
addresses.
Functions
using
one
or
two
arguments
@ABS
:
Gives
the
absolute
value
of
the
argument.
If
the
argument
is
positive,
or
Lew,
die
SaLI1C
value
is
returned;
if
the
argument
is
negative,
the
opposite
of
the
argument
is
returned.
@ABS(5)
gives
5
GABS(
-5)
gives
5
@INT
:
Gives
the
integer
part
of
the
argument.
The
decimal
point
and
subsequent
decimal
digits
are
removed
without
being
rounded
off;
an
integer
will remain
untouched.
@INT(5)
gives
5
OINT(I.1)
gives
1
@INT(0.9)
gives
0
@MOD
:
Divides
the
fi
rst
argument
by
the
second
and
gives
the
remainder
of
the
division.
@MOD(10,3)
gives
1
@MOD(2.3,2)
gives
0.3
@MOD(0.33,2)
gives
0.33
