To now be able to calculate with the content of one of these cells,
you must enter the cell coordinates in the function $T:
%CALC{"$AVERAGE($T(R2:C3),$T(R3:C4))"}%
Caution: The convention of cell references only works in pipe tables,
but not in HTML tables!
It is also possible to include an entire table range by indicating each
of the top and bottom corner cells and separating them by two periods
(“..”); e.g. R1:C1..R3:C3 would completely include the
first three columns of the above table.
In this case, it is not necessary to use the T function; you can
transfer the table range directly as a parameter:
%CALC{"$SUM(R1:C1..R3:C2, R1:C4..R3:C4)"}%
Note: The cell data in the formulas can only relate to the cells in the
current row and previous cells in the table. All cells below the current
row cannot be addressed with that formula. If you insert a formula
with cell data outside of the table, they will refer to the previous
table.
If a parameter consists of several elements (of the same kind), e.g. in
the calculation of an average, a list of values is transferred whose
components are separated by commas, such as %CALC{"$SUM(
3, 5, 7)"}%. Also, there are a few functions that were conceived
specifically for editing and processing lists. Thus, for instance,
the function LIST can be used to transform a cell range into
a list and then further processed.
When using the plugin, you may frequently make mistakes, especially
at the beginning, since you first have to get used to the conventions
of the program. However, the causes of the following undesired
results can be found relatively quickly:
� In the page view, the code of the formula is displayed but
not calculated: The plugin is probably either incorrectly installed
or not installed at all.
� Parts of the formula are displayed: The syntax of the formula
is incorrect. Perhaps a dollar sign was left out?
� A 0 (“zero”) comes out as a result: Your cell references may
be referring to an HTML table.
