Formula Functions
Methodox Formula computes 462 worksheet functions: 458 that Excel has, under the same names and with the same arguments, and 4 of its own. The list below is generated from the function table the calculation engine itself uses, so a function listed here is one Formula computes and one missing from it is one it does not. Insert Function (the fx button beside the formula bar) searches the same table.
Function names are written in English in the file and in the cell, as in Excel. In the syntax, an argument in square brackets may be left out and ... means the argument before it may repeat. Functions marked volatile recalculate on every recalculation, and everything that depends on them recalculates with them; functions marked can spill may return an array that fills the cells below and to the right of the formula (see Dynamic arrays).
A workbook can add functions of its own, written in Lua, C# or as Divooka graphs, which appear as LUA.NAME, CS.NAME and DVK.NAME; see Worksheet Functions. They are not listed here because each workbook has its own.
