Functions and commands

AVERAGE

Calculates the arithmetic mean of a range of numbers.

AVERAGE([input])

For example, AVERAGE(B7:B23) returns the arithmetic

mean of the numbers in the range B7 to B23. You can also

specify a block of cells, as in AVERAG(B7:C23).
An error is returned if a cell in the specified range contains a

non-numeric object.

AMORT

Amortization. Calculates the principal, interest, and balance
of a loan over a specified period. Corresponds to pressing

in the Finance app.

AMORT(Range, NbPmt, IPYR, PV, PMTV[, PPYR=12,
CPYR=PPYR, GSize=PPYR, BEG=0, fix=current],
"configuration"])

Range: the cell range where the results are to be placed. If

only one cell is specified, then the range is automatically
calculated starting from that cell.

Configuration: a string that controls what results are

shown and the order in which they appear. An empty string
"" displays the default: all results, including headers. The
options in the configuration string are separated by spaces.

h – show row headers
H – show column headers
S – show the start of the period
E – show the end of the period
P – show the principal paid this period
B – show the balance at the end of the period
I – show the interest paid this period

All the other input parameters (except fix) are Finance app

Numeric view variables; see page 234 for details. Note that
only the first four are required. fix is the number of decimal

places to be used in the displayed results.
