Sheet Formula List

All used formulas are put into this section, and referenced when used.

Data Description

B Always 02 ?

XListE List of Sheet Formulas

When referenced, the formula number is counted from the tail of the list: the last entry is referenced as 00, the butlast as 02 etc. (X-numbered?).

Sheet Formula

A formula is encoded as an SListB. The formula itself is layed out in memory in Reverse Polish Notation (RPN), and consists of Sheet Formula Elements.

Formula Lay-out

1-5 1 5 -

1+2×3 1 2 3 × +

sin(10×3)-4 10 3 × sin 4 -

sum(1,2,3) sum 1 2 3 sum

Sheet Formula Elements

Each formula element is identified by a marker, which is optionally followed by more data (for example, an integer is layed out as the marker 20 followed by the four bytes of a SInt).

There are a few special markers. Each formula ends with marker 15. Markers 2A and 2B are used to separate the arguments of the var-arg operators (see below).

Marker Data following Args Description

01 2 operator < (less than)

02 2 operator <= (less than or equals)

03 2 operator > (greater than)

04 2 operator >= (greater than or equals)

05 2 operator <> (not equals)

06 2 operator = (equals)

07 2 operator + (addition)

08 2 operator - (subtraction)

09 2 operator * (multiplication)

0A 2 operator / (division)

In the above table, args is the number of elements 'popped' from the stack before the result is 'pushed'. As you can see, funtions with a variable number of arguments are handled specially, and never pop previous values.

Sheet Formula Varargs

Some operators have a variable number of operands. Each operand in its turn consists of Sheet Formula Elements . The encoding is quite different from that used for normal operators. After the operator marker, the operands follow as formulas (without the initial length encoding and without the final 15 marker), separated by the 2A marker. The last operand is followed by the 2B marker, and after this the operator marker is repeated, followed by a word with the number of parameters. Schematically:

Size Description

B Operator marker

Operand 1 (Sheet Formula Elements)

B 2A marker

Operand 2 (Sheet Formula Elements)

....

B 2A marker

B 2B marker

B Operator marker

W Number of operands
