| | TWiki Spreadsheet Plugin
This Plugin adds speadsheet capabilities to TWiki topics. Formulae like %CALC{"$INT(7/3)"}% are evaluated at page view time. They can be placed in table cells and outside of tables. In other words, this Plugin provides general formula evaluation capability, not just classic spreadsheet functions. | | |

"$ABS(num)" | The absolute value of a number. Example: %CALC{"$ABS(-12.5)"}% returns 12.5 |
| | |
"$AND(list)" | The logcial AND of a list. Example: %CALC{"$AND(1, 0, 1)"}% returns 0 |
"$AVERAGE(list)" | The average of a list or a range of cells. Example: To get the average of column 5 excluding the title row, write in the last row: %CALC{"$AVERAGE( R2:C5..R$ROW(-1):C5 )"}% |
"$CHAR(number)" | The ASCII character represented by number. Example: %CALC{"$CHAR(97)"}% returns a |
| | |
"$DEF(list)" | Returns the first list item or cell reference that is not empty. Example: %CALC{"$DEF( R1:C1..R1:C3 )"}% |
"$EVAL(formula)" | Evaluates a simple formula. Only addition, substraction, multiplication, division and modulus of numbers are supported. Any nesting is permitted. Example: %CALC{"$EVAL( (5 * 3) / 2 + 1.1 )"}% returns 8.6 |
"$EXACT(text1, text2)" | Compares two text strings and returns 1 if they are exactly the same, or 0 if not. Example: %CALC{"$EXACT( foo, Foo )"}% returns 0; %CALC{"$EXACT( foo, $LOWER(Foo) )"}% returns 1 |

"$FIND(search_string, text, start_index)" | Finds one text string search_string, within another text string text, and returns the number of the starting position of search_string, from the first character of text. This search is case sensitive and is not a regular expression search; use $SEARCH() for regular expression searching. Starting position is 1; an empty string is returned if nothing is matched. Examples:
%CALC{"$FIND(f, fluffy)"}% returns 1
%CALC{"$FIND(f, fluffy, 2)"}% returns 4
%CALC{"$FIND(@, fluffy, 1)"}% returns an empty string |

"$FORMATTIME(serial, text)" | Convert a serialized date into a date string; the following variables in text are expanded: $second (seconds, 00..59); $minute (minutes, 00..59); $hour (hours, 00..23); $day (day of month, 01..31); $month (month, 01..12); $mon (month in text format, Jan..Dec); $year (4 digit year, 1999); $ye (2 digit year, 99), $wd (day number of the week, 1 for Sunday, 2 for Monday, etc), $wday (day of the week, Sun..Sat), $weekday (day of the week, Sunday..Saturday), $yearday (day of the year, 1..365, or 1..366 in leap years). Date is assumed to be server time; add GMT to indicate Greenwich time zone. See also $TIME(), $TODAY(), $FORMATGMTIME(), $TIMEDIFF(). Example: %CALC{"$FORMATTIME(0, $year/$month/$day GMT)"}% returns 1970/01/01 GMT |

"$LENGTH(text)" | The length in bytes of text. Example: %CALC{"$LENGTH(abcd)"}% returns 4 |
"$LIST(range)" | Converts the content of a range of cells into a flat list, delimited by comma. Cells containing commas are merged into the list. Example: %CALC{"$LIST( $LEFT() )"}% returns Apples, Lemons, Oranges, Kiwis assuming the cells to the left contain | Apples | Lemons, Oranges | Kiwis | |
| |
<

"$LISTITEM(index, list)" | Get one item of a list. Index is 1 to size of list; use a negative number to count from the end of the list. Examples:

%CALC{"$LISTITEM(-1, Apple, Orange, Apple, Kiwi)"}% returns Kiwi |
"$LISTMAP(formula, list)" | Evaluate and update each element of a list. In the formla, $item indicates the element, $index the index of the list starting at 1. Example: %CALC{"$LISTMAP($index: $EVAL(2 * $item), 3, 5, 7, 11)"}% returns 1: 6, 2: 10, 3: 14, 4: 22 |

"$LISTIF(condition, list)" | Remove elements from a list that do not meet a condition. In addition to the condition described in $IF(), you can use $item to indicate the current element. Examples:
%CALC{"$LISTIF($item > 12, 14, 7, 25)"}% returns 14, 25
%CALC{"$LISTIF($NOT($EXACT($item,)), A, B, , C)"}% returns A, B, C |
"$LISTITEM(index, list)" | Get one element of a list. Index is 1 to size of list; use a negative number to count from the end of the list. Examples:

"$LISTSIZE(list)" | The number of elements in a list. Example: %CALC{"$LISTSIZE(Apple, Orange, Apple, Kiwi)"}% returns 4 |
"$LISTSORT(list)" | Sorts a list in ASCII order, or numerically if all elements are numeric. Example: %CALC{"$LISTSORT(Apple, Orange, Apple, Kiwi)"}% returns Apple, Apple, Kiwi, Orange |

"$SEARCH(search_string, text, start_index)" | Finds one text string search_string, within another text string text, and returns the number of the starting position of search_string, from the first character of text. This search a RegularExpression search; use $FIND() for non-regular expression searching. Starting position is 1; an empty string is returned if nothing is matched. Examples:
%CALC{"$SEARCH([uy], fluffy)"}% returns 3

"$SEARCH(search_string, text, start_index)" | Finds one text string search_string, within another text string text, and returns the number of the starting position of search_string, from the first character of text. This search a RegularExpression search; use $FIND() for non-regular expression searching. Starting position is 1; a 0 is returned if nothing is matched. Examples:

"$SET(name, value)" | Set a variable for later use. Specify the variable name (alphanumeric characters and underscores) and the value. The value may contain a formula; formulas are evaluated before the variable assignment. This function returns no output. Use $GET() to retrieve variables. Unlike table ranges, variables live for the time of the page view and persist across tables, i.e. you can use it to summarize results across several tables. See also $GET(). Example: %CALC{"$SET( my_total, $SUM($ABOVE()) )"}% sets the my_total variable to the sum of all table cells located above the current cell and returns an empty string |
"$SETM(name, formula)" | Updates an existing variable based on a formula. Specify the variable name (alphanumeric characters and underscores) and the formula. The formula must start with an operator to + (add), - (subtract), * (multiply), or / (divide) something to the variable. This function returns no output. Use $GET() to retrieve variables. Example: %CALC{"$SETM( total, + $SUM($LEFT()) )"}% adds the sum of all table cells on the left to the total variable, and returns an empty string |
"$SIGN(num)" | The sign of a number. Returns -1 if num is negative, 0 if zero, or 1 if positive. Example: %CALC{"$SIGN(-12.5)"}% returns -1 |
