Place the cursor in a cell in the table or at the position in the document where you want the result to appear. Click the Formula icon and choose the desired formula from the submenu.

The formula appears in the input line. To specify a range of cells in a table, select the desired cells with the mouse. The corresponding cell references also appear in the input line. Enter additional parameters, as necessary, and click Apply to confirm your entry. You can also enter the formula directly if you know the appropriate syntax. This is necessary, for example, in the Insert Fields and Edit Fields dialogs.

Summary of Formula Options Basic Calculation Functions Addition + Calculates the total. Example: <A1> + 8 Subtraction - Calculates the difference Example: 10 - <B5> Multiplication MUL or * Calculates the product. Example: 7 MUL 9 Division DIV or / Calculates the quotient Example: 100 DIV 15 Basic Functions in the Submenu Sum SUM Calculates the sum of the selected cells. Example: SUM <A2:C2> displays the sum of the values in cells A2 to C2 Round ROUND Rounds a number to the specified decimal places. Example: 15.678 ROUND 2 displays 15.68 Percent PHD Calculates a percentage Example: 10 + 15 PHD displays 10.15 Square Root SQRT Calculates the square root. Example: SQRT 25 displays 5.00 Power POW Calculates the power of a number. Example: 2 POW 8 displays 256.00 Operators You can insert various operators in your formula. Choose from the following functions: List Separator | Separates the elements in a list. Example of using a list: MIN 10|20|50|<C6>|<A2:B6>|20 Equal EQ or == Checks if selected values are equal. If they are unequal, the result is zero, otherwise 1 (true) appears. Example: <A1> EQ 2 displays 1, if the content of A1 equals 2. Not Equal NEQ or != Tests for inequality between selected values. Example: <A1> NEQ 2 displays 0 (wrong), if the content of A1 equals 2. Less than or Equal LEQ Tests for values less than or equal to a specified value. Example: <A1> LEQ 2 displays 1 (true), if the content of A1 is less than or equal to 2. Greater than or Equal GEQ Tests for values greater than or equal to a specified value Example: <A1> GEQ 2 displays 1 (true), if the content of A1 is greater than or equal to 2. Less L Tests for values less than a specified value Example: <A1> L 2 displays 1 (true), if the content of A1 is less than 2. Greater G Tests for values greater than a specified value Example: <A1> G 2 displays 1 (true), if the content of A1 is greater than 2. Boolean Or OR Tests for values matching the Boolean OR Example: 0 OR 0 displays 0 (false), anything else results in 1 (true) Boolean X Or XOR Tests for values matching the Boolean exclusive OR Example: 1 XOR 0 displays 1 (true) Boolean And AND Tests for values matching the Boolean AND Example: 1 AND 2 displays 1 (true) Boolean Not NOT Tests for values matching the Boolean NOT Example: NOT 1 (true) displays 0 (false) Statistical Functions You can choose from the following statistical functions: Mean MEAN Calculates the arithmetic mean of the values in an area or a list. Example: MEAN 10|30|20 displays 20 Minimum Value MIN Calculates the minimum value in an area or a list. Example: MIN 10|30|20 displays 10 Maximum Value MAX Calculates the maximum value in an area or a list. Example: MAX 10|30|20 displays 30.00 Trigonometric Functions You can choose from the following trigonometric functions: Sine SIN Calculates the sine in radians Example: SIN (PI/2) Cosine COS Calculates the cosine in radians. Example: COS 1 Tangent TAN Calculates the tangent in radians. Example: TAN <A1> Arc Sine ASIN Calculates the arc sine in radians. Example: ASIN 1 Arc Cosine ACOS Calculates the arc cosine in radians. Example: ACOS 1 Arc Tangent ATAN Calculates the arc tangent in radians. Example: ATAN 1 Variables for document properties The following document properties are also found under File - Properties - Statistics. CHAR Number of characters in the document WORD Number of words in the document PARA Number of paragraphs in the document GRAPH Number of graphics in the document TABLES Number of tables in the document OLE Number of OLE objects in the document PAGE Total number of pages in the document More Defined Values PI PI 3.1415... Euler's constant E 2.71828... True TRUE not equal to 0 False FALSE 0
