Calculating the sum over a range of table cells
The SUM function is especially useful for adding numbers in table cells. Simply
enter the first and last cells as parameters; TextMaker adds the values in all the
cells in the range.
For example, you can add the contents of cells B2 through B5 with the formula
SUM(#B2;#B5).
Calculating with adjacent cells made easy
Tip: In some arithmetic functions (e.g. SUM), you can use symbolic cell references
in order to reference all cells directly adjacent to a cell.
The following types of symbolic cell references are available:
ABOVE (represents the cells above the current cell)
BELOW (represents the cells below the current cell)
LEFT (represents the cells to the left of the current cell)
RIGHT (represents the cells to the right of the current cell)
For example, the formula SUM(ABOVE) calculates the sum of the cells directly
above a cell.
The following arithmetic functions support symbolic cell references:
AVG, COUNT, MIN, MAX, PROD, SUM
(For detailed information on each function, see the section “Computational functions”,
page 376.)
Database fields in calculations
FreeOffice: The functions for printing and faxing form letters are not included in
SoftMaker FreeOffice.
Fields from a database can also be entered in calculations, provided that a database
has first been assigned to the document with Tools > Set Database.
You do not even have to enter the field names manually. If you have a look at the
Insert > Calculation dialog box, you will see that the names of all the database
