---+!! TWiki Spreadsheet Plugin

This Plugin adds spreadsheet capabilities to %WIKITOOLNAME% topics. Formulae like ==%<nop>CALC{"$INT(7/3)"}%== are evaluated at page view time. They can be placed in table cells and outside of tables. In other words, this Plugin provides general formula evaluation capability, not just classic spreadsheet functions.

---++ Syntax Rules

The action of this Plugin is triggered by the ==%<nop>CALC{"..."}%== variable, which gets rendered according to the built-in function(s) found between the quotes.

   * Built-in function are of format ==$FUNCNAME(parameter)==
   * Functions may be nested, e.g. ==%<nop>CALC{"$SUM( R2:C$COLUMN(0)..R$ROW(-1):C$COLUMN(0) )"}%==
   * Functions are evaluated from left to right, and from inside to outside if nested
   * The function parameter can be text; a mathematical formula; a cell address; or a range of cell addresses
   * Multiple parameters form a list; they are separated by a comma, followed by optional space, e.g. ==%<nop>CALC{"$SUM( 3, 5, 7 )"}%==
   * A table cell can be addressed as ==R1:C1==. Table address matrix:
     | ==R1:C1== | ==R1:C2== | ==R1:C3== | ==R1:C4== |
     | ==R2:C1== | ==R2:C2== | ==R2:C3== | ==R2:C4== |
   * A table cell range is defined by two cell addresses separated by ==".."==, e.g. "row 1 through 20, column 3" is: ==R1:C3..R20:C3==
   * Lists can refer to values and/or table cell ranges, e.g. ==%<nop>CALC{"$SUM( 3, 5, $T(R1:C7), R1:C11..R1:C15 )"}%==
   * Formulae can only reference cells in the current or preceeding row of the current table; they may not reference cells below the current table row 
   * Formulae can also be placed outside of tables; they can reference cells in the preceeding table

---++ FAQ

---+++ Can I use CALC in a formatted search?

Specifically, how can I output some conditional text in a %SYSTEMWEB%.FormattedSearch?

You need to escape the CALC so that it executes once per search hit. This can be done by escaping the =%= signs of =%<nop>CALC{...}%= with =$percnt=. For example, to execute =$IF($EXACT($formfield(Tested), Yes), %<nop>PUBURL%/%<nop>SYSTEMWEB%/TWikiDocGraphics/choice-yes.gif, %<nop>PUBURL%/%<nop>SYSTEMWEB%/TWikiDocGraphics/choice-no.gif)= in the =format=""= parameter, write this:

=%<nop>SEARCH{ .... format="| $topic | $percntCALC{$IF($EXACT($formfield(Tested), Yes), %<nop>PUBURL%/%<nop>SYSTEMWEB%/TWikiDocGraphics/choice-yes.gif, %<nop>PUBURL%/%<nop>SYSTEMWEB%/TWikiDocGraphics/choice-no.gif)}$percnt |" }%=

---+++ How can I easily repeat a formula in a table?

To repeat the same formula in all cells of a table row define the formula once in a preferences setting and use that in the CALC. The preferences setting can be hidden in HTML comments. Example:

<verbatim>
<!--
   * Set MYFORMULA = $EVAL($SUBSTITUTE(...etc...))
-->
| A | 1 | %CALC{%MYFORMULA%}% |

---++ Bug Tracking Example

| *Bug#:*  | *Priority:* | *Subject:* | *Status:* | *Days to fix* |
| Bug:1231 | Low         | File Open ...       | Open      |  3 |
| Bug:1232 | High        | Memory Window ...   | Fixed     |  2 |
| Bug:1233 | Medium      | Usability issue ... | Assigned  |  5 |
| Bug:1234 | High        | No arrange ...      | Fixed     |  1 |
| Total: %CALC{"$ROW(-2)"}% \
  | %CALC{"$COUNTITEMS( R2:C$COLUMN()..R$ROW(-1):C$COLUMN() )"}% | . \
  | %CALC{"$COUNTITEMS( R2:C$COLUMN()..R$ROW(-1):C$COLUMN() )"}% \
  |  Total: %CALC{"$SUM( R2:C$COLUMN()..R$ROW(-1):C$COLUMN() )"}% |

The last row is defined as:

<verbatim>
| Total: %CALC{"$ROW(-2)"}% \ 
  | %CALC{"$COUNTITEMS( R2:C$COLUMN()..R$ROW(-1):C$COLUMN() )"}% | . \ 
  | %CALC{"$COUNTITEMS( R2:C$COLUMN()..R$ROW(-1):C$COLUMN() )"}% \ 
  |  Total: %CALC{"$SUM( R2:C$COLUMN()..R$ROW(-1):C$COLUMN() )"}% |
</verbatim>

Above table is created manually. Another Plugin could build the table dynamically, e.g. by pulling data out of a bug tracking system. The Spreadsheet Plugin can be used to display table data statistics.

---++ Plugin Settings

Plugin settings are stored as preferences variables. To reference
a plugin setting write ==%<nop>&lt;plugin&gt;_&lt;setting&gt;%==, i.e. ==%<nop>SPREADSHEETPLUGIN_SHORTDESCRIPTION%==

   * One line description, is shown in the %SYSTEMWEB%.TextFormattingRules topic:
      * Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Add spreadsheet calculation like ="$SUM( $ABOVE() )"= to TWiki tables and other topic text

   * Debug plugin: (See output in =data/debug.txt=)
      * Set DEBUG = 0

   * Do not handle =%<nop>CALC{}%= variable in included topic while including topic: (default: 1)
      * Set SKIPINCLUDE = 1

<noautolink>
   * [[%SYSTEMWEB%.WikiWord][WikiWords]] to exclude from being spaced out by the ==$PROPERSPACE(text)== function. This comma delimited list can be overloaded by a DONTSPACE preferences variable:
      * Set DONTSPACE = CodeWarrior, MacDonald, McIntosh, RedHat, SuSE
</noautolink>
