NAME

Spreadsheet::Engine::Functions - Spreadsheet functions (SUM, MAX, etc)

SYNOPSIS

my $ok = calculate_function($fname, \@operand, \$errortext, \%typelookup, \%sheetdata);

DESCRIPTION

This provides all the spreadsheet functions (SUM, MAX, IRR, ISNULL, etc).

EXTENDING

register

Spreadsheet::Engine->register(SUM => 'Spreadsheet::Engine::Function::SUM');

If you wish to make a new function available you should register it here. A series of base classes are provided that do all the argument checking etc., allowing you to concentrate on the calculations. Have a look at how the existing functions are implemented for details (it should hopefully be mostly self-explanatory!)

information on how many arguments should be passed:
