\label{Spreadsheet_Functions}
The following special functions are available in the spreadsheet.
Please see \textbf{Referencing Cells} (\ref{Spreadsheet_Referencing_Cells})
for information on specifying cells and ranges.
\begin{itemize}
\item \texttt{\&NUM(range)} - number of non-empty cells in range
\index{NUM}
\item \texttt{\&BIN(low, high, range)} - number of non-empty cells in
range with values between low and high
\index{BIN}
\item \texttt{\&SUM(range)} - sum of the non-empty cells in range
\index{SUM}
\item \texttt{\&MEAN(range)} - mean value of non-empty cells in range
\index{MEAN}
\item \texttt{\&STDDEV(range)} - standard deviation of non-empty cells
in range
\index{STDDEV}
\item \texttt{\&PROD(range)} - product of non-empty cells in range
\index{PROD}
\item \texttt{\&MAX(range)} - maximum value of non-empty cell in range
\index{MAX}
\item \texttt{\&MIN(range)} - minimum value of non-empty cells in
range
\index{MIN}
\item \texttt{\&SUMMAX(n ,range)} - sum of the maximum n non-empty
cells in range
\index{SUMMAX}
\item \texttt{\&SUMMIN(n, range)} - sum of the minimum n non-empty
cells in range
\index{SUMMIN}
\item \texttt{\&EXT(expression)} - access to EXT function in lonnet.
Use \&EXT(``system.time'') to retrieve the current time.
\index{EXT}
\item \texttt{\&PARM(parameter)} - get the value of a specific parameter
\index{PARM}
\item \texttt{\&MINPARM(expression)} - get the value of a parameter that
matches the expression that is the smallest in value (If one specified
'opendate' it would return the smallest opendate set on the problem.)
\index{MINPARM}
\item \texttt{\&MAXPARM(expression)} - get the value of a parameter that
matches the expression that is the largest in value (If one specified
'opendata' it would return the largest opendate set on the problem.)
\index{MAXPARM}
\item \texttt{\&SUMSEQ(column,sequence1,sequence2,sequence3,...)} -
sum the given column across the folders or sequences listed.
When specifying a sequence use the full title. Instead of a sequence title
the word ``all'' can be used to sum over all sequences. Regular expressions
can be entered as well, if prefixed by ``regexp:''. See below for examples.
\begin{itemize}
\item \texttt{\&SUMSEQ(``Z'',''Chapter 1'');}
\item \texttt{\&SUMSEQ(``Z'',''Chapter 1'',''Chapter 2'',''Chapter 3'');}
\item \texttt{\&SUMSEQ(``Z'',''all'');} - sum over all sequences.
\item \texttt{\&SUMSEQ(``Z'',''regexp:Large Biomolecules'');} -
sum over all sequences which match the regular expression
/Large Biomolecules/.
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
In addition, most non-IO Perl functions work in cells.
