List of Calc 'Spreadsheet' functions
The so-called 'Spreadsheet' functions find values in tables, or cell references; they include LOOKUP, SEARCH, ADDRESS. They could thus also be described as 'Lookup' functions.
Spreadsheet Lookup functions | |
ADDRESS | returns a text representation of a cell reference, given row and column numbers. |
CHOOSE | returns a value from a list, given an index number. |
HLOOKUP | returns a value from a table row, in the column found by lookup in the first row. |
INDEX | returns the contents of a cell, given row and column number. |
INDIRECT | returns a reference, given a text string. |
LOOKUP | returns result from one single-cell-wide table, corresponding to a lookup search in another. |
MATCH | returns the position in a single row or column table matching a search criterion. |
OFFSET | returns the contents of a cell, given a reference and a desired offset from that reference. |
VLOOKUP | returns a value from a table column, in the row found by lookup in the first column.
|
Spreadsheet Information functions | |
AREAS | returns the number of individual ranges in a multiple range. |
COLUMN | returns the column number, given a reference. |
COLUMNS | returns the number of columns in a given range. |
ERRORTYPE | returns the number corresponding to an error value. |
INFO | returns information about the current working environment. |
ROW | returns the row number, given a reference. |
ROWS | returns the number of rows in a given range. |
SHEET | returns the sheet number, given a reference. |
SHEETS | returns the number of sheets, given a reference.
|
Other functions | |
DDE | returns information from other documents and applications, using the "DDE" protocol. |
HYPERLINK | sets a cell to open a hyperlink (in another application) when clicked. |
STYLE | applies a style to a cell (for example a colour). |
