This Plugin adds speadsheet capabilities to TWiki topics. Formulae like %CALC{"$INT(7/3)"}% are evaluated at page view time. They can be placed in table cells and outside of tables. In other words, this Plugin provides general formula evaluation capability, not just classic spreadsheet functions.
The formula next to "Total" is %CALC{"$SUM( $ABOVE() )"}%. (you see the formula instead of the sum in case the Plugin is not installed or not enabled.)
The absolute value of a number. Example: %CALC{"$ABS(-12.5)"}% returns 12.5
"$AND(list)"
The logcial AND of a list. Example: %CALC{"$AND(1, 0, 1)"}% returns 0
"$AVERAGE(list)"

"$CHAR(number)"
The ASCII character represented by number. Example: %CALC{"$CHAR(97)"}% returns a
"$CODE(text)"
The ASCII numeric value of the first character in text. Example: %CALC{"$CODE(abc)"}% returns 97
"$COLUMN(offset)"
The current column number with an optional offset
"$COUNTITEMS(list)"
Counts individual items in a list. Example: %CALC{"$COUNTITEMS( $ABOVE() )"}% returns Closed: 1, Open: 2 assuming one cell above the current cell contains Closed and two cells contain Open
"$COUNTSTR(list, str)"
Counts the number of cells in a list equal to a given string (if str is specified), or counts the number of non empty cells in a list. Example: To count the number of non empty cells above the current cell, write %CALC{"$COUNTSTR( $ABOVE() )"}%; to count the number of cells equal to DONE, write %CALC{"$COUNTSTR( $ABOVE(), DONE )"}%;
"$DEF(list)"
Returns the first list item or cell reference that is not empty. Example: %CALC{"$DEF( R1:C1..R1:C3 )"}%
