The spreadsheet has a preprocessor which an expand a symbolic
expression over all symbolic names that fit. The general syntax is
-\texttt{[\&EXPANDSUM(VARNAME;expression)]}.
+\index{EXPANDSUM} \texttt{[\&EXPANDSUM(VARNAME;expression)]}.
For example, for the above assessment with three parts,
-\texttt{[\&EXPANDSUM(\textbf{PART};parameter_\textbf{PART}_weight*stores_\textbf{PART}_awarded)]}
+\texttt{\&EXPANDSUM(}\texttt{\textbf{PART}}\texttt{;parameter\_}\texttt{\textbf{PART}}\texttt{\_weight{*}stores\_}\texttt{\textbf{PART}}\texttt{\_awarded)}
would become
