Using the List Calculation Functions

The [Calc] menu functions shown in the table below are also included (with the same name) on the Main application [Action] - [List] - [Statistics] and [Action] - [List] - [Calculation] submenus.

[Calc] - [List-Statistics] submenumin, max, mean, median, mode, Q1, Q3, percentile, stdDev, variance
[Calc] - [List-Calculation] submenusum, prod, cuml, Alist, percent, polyEval, sequence, sumSeq

 

 

Selecting a menu item on the [Calc] - [List-Statistics] submenu or [Calc] - [List-Calculation] submenu will input the corresponding function into the currently selected cell. For information about the syntax and other details about each function, see “Using the List-Statistics and List-Calculation Submenus” (page 70).

Tip: When a range of cells on a spreadsheet is specified as the arguments of these functions, the cells are regarded of a single list of data even if the range extends over multiple columns. For example, in the case of the nearby screenshot (where the range A1:B3 is selected), the data is treated as the following list data: {1,3,5,2,4,6}.
