Math functions
Use a math function to apply mathematical operations to data. For example, math functions let you get an average of an array, round a value up or down, or change the format of a number (1 000 000 to 1,000,000 or 1.000.000). Below is a list of supported math functions and a brief description of each one.
abs (number)
Returns the absolute value of an integer.
abs( -5 )
= 5
abs( 5 )
= 5
abs( 0 )
= 0
abs( -3.7 )
= 3.7
average ([array of values]) average(value1; [value2], ...)
Returns the average value of the numeric values in a specific array, or the average value of numerical values entered individually.
ceil (number)
Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to a specified number.
ceil( 1.2 )
= 2
ceil( 4 )
= 4
floor (number)
Returns the largest integer less than or equal to a specified number.
floor( 1.2 )
= 1
floor( 1.9 )
= 1
floor( 4 )
= 4
formatNumber (number; decimalPOINTS; [decimalSeparator]; [thousandsSeparator])
Returns a number in the requested format. Decimal point is `,` by default, Thousands separator is `.` by default.
formatNumber( 123456789 ; 3 ; , ; . )
= 123.456.789,000
max ([array of values]), max(value1;value2; ...)
Returns the largest number in a specified array, or the largest number among numbers entered individually.
median ([array of values])
Returns the median of the values in a specified array, or the median of numbers entered individually.
median( 3; 5; 7 )
= 5
median( 2; 3; 5; 8 )
= 4
median( 2.5; 3.5; 2; 4.5; 1 )
= 2.5
min ([array of values]), min(value1;value2; ...)
Returns the smallest number in a specified array, or the smallest number among numbers entered individually.
parseNumber (number; decimal separator)
Parses a string with a number and returns the number.
Example: parseNumber( 1 756,456 ; , )
round (number)
Rounds a numeric value to the nearest integer.
round( 1.2 )
= 1
round( 1.5 )
= 2
round( 1.7 )
= 2
round( 2 )
= 2
stdevP ([array of values])
Returns the standard deviation of a specified array of population values, or the standard deviation of numbers entered individually.
stdevP( 1; 2; 3; 4; 5)
= 1.4142135623730951
stdevP( {{array}} )
stdevS ([array of values])
Returns the standard deviation of a specified array of sample values, or the standard deviation of numbers entered individually.
stdevS( 1; 2; 3; 4; 5)
= 1.5811388300841898
stdevS( {{array}} )
sum ([array of values]), sum(value1;value2; ...)
Returns the sum of the values in a specified array, or the sum of numbers entered individually.
trunc (number)
Truncates a number to an integer by removing the fractional part of the number.
trunc( 3.789)
= 3
trunc( 3.789; 2)
= 3.78
trunc( -3.789; 2 )
= -3.7
trunc( 123.456; -2 )
= 100
