Array Formulas

Formulas may include functions that operate on arrays. An array formula is a formula that can perform multiple calculations on one or more of the items in an array.

Array formulas are often referred to as CSE (Ctrl+Shift+Enter) formulas because instead of just pressing Enter, you press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to complete the formula. SpreadJS supports array constants in formulas. Use curly brackets ({ }) to enclose the array elements. Use a comma to separate elements within a row. Use a semicolon to separate rows within the array. Individual elements can be number values, text values, logical values, or error values. For example: You can use the setArrayFormula method to set an array formula, similar to the setFormula method. The formula text box shows the array formula surrounded by curly brackets ({ }).
