Custom Functions

In SpreadJS, you can create your own function and add it to sheet. In addition to all the 500+ built-in functions, the SpreadJS Calculation Engine also allows you to create your own custom functions for specific business use cases. They can be defined and called as you would any of the built-in functions.

You can create your own function by inheriting the GC.Spread.CalcEngine.Functions.Function, as shown in the following code: The evaluate function can return a GC.Spread.CalcEngine.CalcArray object to represent the custom function returns an array as following code: After you have added your own function, if you want to remove it or clear all custom functions, use the removeCustomFunction or clearCustomFunctions method.
