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

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(s), 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(s), given a reference.
ROWS returns the number of rows in a given range.
SHEET returns the sheet number, given a reference.
