<h1>Use formulas in tables</h1>
|
|
<h3>Insert a formula</h3>
|
|
<p>You can perform simple calculations on data in table cells by adding formulas. To insert a formula into a table cell,</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>place the cursor within the cell where you want to display the result,</li>
|
|
<li>click the <b>Add formula</b> button at the right sidebar,</li>
|
|
<li>in the <b>Formula Settings</b> window that opens, enter the necessary formula into the <b>Formula</b> field.
|
|
<p>You can enter a needed formula manually using the common mathematical operators (+, -, *, /), e.g. <em>=A1*B2</em> or use the <b>Paste Function</b> drop-down list to select one of the embedded functions, e.g. <em>=PRODUCT(A1,B2)</em>.</p>
|
|
<p><img alt="Add formula" src="../images/formula_settings.png" /></p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>manually specify necessary arguments within the parentheses in the <b>Formula</b> field. If the function requires several arguments, they must be separated by commas.</li>
|
|
<li>use the <b>Number Format</b> drop-down list if you want to display the result in a certain number format,</li>
|
|
<li>click <b>OK</b>.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>The result will be displayed in the selected cell. </p>
|
|
<p>To edit the added formula, select the result in the cell and click the <b>Add formula</b> button at the right sidebar, make the necessary changes in the <b>Formula Settings</b> window and click <b>OK</b>.</p>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
<h3>Add references to cells</h3>
|
|
<p>You can use the following arguments to quickly add references to cell ranges:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>ABOVE</b> - a reference to all the cells in the column above the selected cell</li>
|
|
<li><b>LEFT</b> - a reference to all the cells in the row to the left of the selected cell</li>
|
|
<li><b>BELOW</b> - a reference to all the cells in the column below the selected cell</li>
|
|
<li><b>RIGHT</b> - a reference to all the cells in the row to the right of the selected cell</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>These arguments can be used with the AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, MIN, PRODUCT, SUM functions.</p>
|
|
<p>You can also manually enter references to a certain cell (e.g., <em>A1</em>) or a range of cells (e.g., <em>A1:B3</em>).</p>
|
|
<h3>Use bookmarks</h3>
|
|
<p>If you have added some <a href="../UsageInstructions/InsertBookmarks.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">bookmarks</a> to certain cells within your table, you can use these bookmarks as arguments when entering formulas.</p>
|
|
<p>In the <b>Formula Settings</b> window, place the cursor within the parentheses in the <b>Formula</b> entry field where you want the argument to be added and use the <b>Paste Bookmark</b> drop-down list to select one of the previously added bookmarks.</p>
|
|
<h3>Update formula results</h3>
|
|
<p>If you change some values in the table cells, you will need to manually update formula results:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>To update a single formula result, select the necessary result and press <b>F9</b> or right-click the result and use the <b>Update field</b> option from the menu.</li>
|
|
<li>To update several formula results, select the necessary cells or the entire table and press <b>F9</b>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
<h3>Embedded functions</h3>
|
|
<p>You can use the following standard math, statistical and logical functions:</p>
|
|
