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 a value from a table, given a 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 of a search item in a single row or column table. OFFSET returns a modified reference, given a reference, an offset, and a desired size. 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 areas in a given reference. COLUMN returns the column number(s), given a reference. COLUMNS returns the number of columns in a given reference. 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 reference. SHEET returns the sheet number, given a reference. SHEETS returns the number of sheets in a given 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 (for example a colour) to a cell.
