Functions Included
Displays a list of functions that operate on character arguments such as
trimming, finding the length of a string, converting between numbers and
characters. See “Character Functions” on page 402 in the “Formula Functions
Reference” appendix.
Displays a list of functions that are the standard logical comparisons such as less
than, less than or equal to, not equal to, and so on. See “Comparison
Functions” on page 411 in the “Formula Functions Reference” appendix.
Displays a list of functions that are programming-like functions, such as If,
Match, and Choose. See “Conditional Functions” on page 412 in the
“Formula Functions Reference” appendix.
Displays a list of functions that compute probabilities and quantiles for
standard statistical distributions, such as normal, Student’s t, Chi-squared, and
F-distributions. See “Probability Functions” on page 417 in the “Formula
Functions Reference” appendix.
Displays a list of functions that compute discrete probabilities, such as Poisson,
Gamma Poisson, and Hypergeometric. See “Discrete Probability Functions” on
page 425 in the “Formula Functions Reference” appendix.
Displays a list of functions that calculate standard statistical quantities such as
the mean or standard deviation. See “Statistical Functions” on page 427 in the
“Formula Functions Reference” appendix.
Displays a list of functions that generate random numbers based on predefined
distributions such as the uniform, normal, Cauchy, and so on. There is also a
function to randomize the order of table rows. See “Random Functions” on
page 430 in the “Formula Functions Reference” appendix.
Displays a list of functions that require arguments with the date data type,
which is interpreted as the number of seconds since January 1, 1904. Date
Time functions return values such as day, week, or month of the year. They can
also compute dates and can find data intervals. See “Date Time Functions” on
page 434 in the “Formula Functions Reference” appendix.
Displays a list of functions that assign or detect row state status of color,
marker, label, hidden, excluded, or selected. See “Row State Functions” on
page 437 in the “Formula Functions Reference” appendix.
Displays a list of functions that place the value on the right side of the
assignment operator into the variable on the left side of the operator. See
“Assignment Functions” on page 441 in the “Formula Functions Reference”
appendix.
