Info

Note To enter the = symbol for a purpose other than creating a formula as described in this chapter, type an apostrophe or single quotation mark before the =. For example, in the entry '= means different things to different people, Calc treats everything after the single quotation mark—including the = sign—as text. Simple Calculation in 1 Cell Calculation by Reference Figure 155: A simple calculation Table 8: Common ways to enter formulas Formula Description =A1+10 Displays the contents of cell A1 plus 10. =A1*16% Displays 16% of the contents of A1. =A1*A2 Displays the result of the multiplication of A1 and A2. =ROUND(A1,1) Displays the contents of cell A1 rounded to one decimal place. =EFFECTIVE(5%,12) Calculates the effective interest for 5% annual nominal interest with 12 payments a year. =B8-SUM(B10:B14) Calculates B8 minus the sum of the cells B10 to B14. =SUM(B8,SUM(B10:B14)) Calculates the sum of cells B10 to B14 and adds the value to B8. =SUM(B1:B1048576 ) Sums all numbers in column B. 168 LibreOffice 3.4 Calc Guide
Formula Description =AVERAGE(BloodSugar) Displays the average of a named range defined under the name BloodSugar. =IF(C31>140, "HIGH", "OK") Displays the results of a conditional analysis of data from two sources. If the contents of C31 is greater than 140, then HIGH is displayed, otherwise OK is displayed. Note Users of Lotus 1-2-3, Quattro Pro and other spreadsheet software may be familiar with formulas that begin with +, -, =, (, @, ., $, or #. A mathematical formula would look like +D2+C2 or +2*3. Functions begin with the @ symbol such as @SUM(D2..D7), @COS(@DEGTORAD(30)) and @IRR(GUESS,CASHFLOWS). Ranges are identified such as A1..D3. Functions can be identified in Table 8 with a word, for example ROUND, followed by parentheses enclosing references or numbers. It is also possible to establish ranges for inclusion by naming them using Insert > Names, for example BloodSugar representing a range such as B3:B10. Logical functions can also be performed as represented by the IF statement which results in a conditional response based upon the data in the identified cell, for example =IF(A2>=0,"Positive","Negative") A value of 3 in cell A2 would return the result Positive, a value of –9 the result Negative. Operator types You can use the following operator types in LibreOffice Calc: arithmetic, comparative, text, and reference. Arithmetic operators The addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operators return numerical results. The Negation and Percent operators identify a characteristic of the number found in the cell, for example -37. The example for Exponentiation illustrates how to enter a number that is being multiplied by itself a certain number of times, for example 2 3 = 2*2*2. Table 9: Arithmetical operators Operator Name Example + (Plus) Addition =1+1 – (Minus) Subtraction =2–1 – (Minus) Negation –5 * (asterisk) Multiplication =2*2 / (Slash) Division =10/5 % (Percent) Percent 15% ^ (Caret) Exponentiation 2^3 Chapter 7 Using Formulas and Functions 169
