LibreOfficeDev 25.8 Help
All formulas begin with an equals sign. The formulas can contain numbers, text, arithmetic operators, logic operators, or functions.
Remember that the basic arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /) can be used in formulas using the "Multiplication and Division before Addition and Subtraction" rule. Instead of writing =SUM(A1:B1) you can write =A1+B1.
Parentheses can also be used. The result of the formula =(1+2)*3 produces a different result than =1+2*3.
Here are a few examples of LibreOfficeDev Calc formulas:
| =A1+10 | Displays the contents of cell A1 plus 10. | 
| =A1*16% | Displays 16% of the contents of A1. | 
| =A1 * A2 | Displays the result of the multiplication of A1 and A2. | 
| =ROUND(A1;1) | Displays the contents of cell A1 rounded to one decimal place. | 
| =EFFECTIVE(5%;12) | Calculates the effective interest for 5% annual nominal interest with 12 payments a year. | 
| =B8-SUM(B10:B14) | Calculates B8 minus the sum of the cells B10 to B14. | 
| =SUM(B8;SUM(B10:B14)) | Calculates the sum of cells B10 to B14 and adds the value to B8. | 
It is also possible to nest functions in formulas, as shown in the example. You can also nest functions within functions. The Function Wizard assists you with nested functions.
