## CELL

Returns information on address, formatting or contents of a cell.

#### Syntax

CELL("InfoType" [; Reference])

Info_type is the character string that specifies the type of information. The character string is always in English. Upper or lower case is optional.

Info_type | Значење
--- | ---
COL | Returns the number of the referenced column. Cell("COL";D2) returns 4.
ROW | Returns the number of the referenced row. Cell("ROW";D2) returns 2.
SHEET | Returns the number of the referenced sheet. Cell("Sheet";Sheet3.D2) returns 3.
ADDRESS | Returns the absolute address of the referenced cell. CELL("ADDRESS";D2) returns $D$2. CELL("ADDRESS";Sheet3.D2) returns $Sheet3.$D$2. =CELL("ADDRESS";'X:\dr\test.ods'#$Sheet1.D2) returns 'file:///X:/dr/test.ods'#$Sheet1.$D$2.
FILENAME | Returns the file name and the sheet number of the referenced cell. =CELL("FILENAME";D2) returns 'file:///X:/dr/own.ods'#$Sheet1, if the formula in the current document X:\dr\own.ods is located in Sheet1. =CELL("FILENAME";'X:\dr\test.ods'#$Sheet1.D2) returns 'file:///X:/dr/test.ods'#$Sheet1.
COORD | Returns the complete cell address in Lotus™ notation. CELL("COORD"; D2) returns $A:$D$2. CELL("COORD"; Sheet3.D2) returns $C:$D$2.
CONTENTS | Returns the contents of the referenced cell, without any formatting.
TYPE | Returns the type of cell contents. b = blank. empty cell l = label. Text, result of a formula as text v = value. Value, result of a formula as a number
WIDTH | Returns the width of the referenced column. The unit is the number of zeros (0) that fit into the column in the default text and the default size.
PREFIX | Returns the alignment of the referenced cell. ' = align left or left-justified " = align right ^ = centered \ = repeating (currently inactive)
PROTECT | Returns the status of the cell protection for the cell. 1 = cell is protected 0 = cell is not protected
FORMAT | Returns a character string that indicates the number format. , = number with thousands separator F = number without thousands separator C = currency format S = exponential representation, for example, 1.234+E56 P = percentage In the above formats, the number of decimal places after the decimal separator is given as a number. Example: the number format #,##0.0 returns ,1 and the number format 00.000% returns P3 D1 = MMM-D-YY, MM-D-YY and similar formats D2 = DD-MM D3 = MM-YY D4 = DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS D5 = MM-DD D6 = HH:MM:SS AM/PM D7 = HH:MM AM/PM D8 = HH:MM:SS D9 = HH:MM G = All other formats - (Minus) at the end = negative numbers are formatted in color () (brackets) at the end = there is an opening bracket in the format code
COLOR | Returns 1, if negative values have been formatted in color, otherwise 0.
PARENTHESES | Returns 1 if the format code contains an opening bracket (, otherwise 0.

Reference (list of options) is the position of the cell to be examined. If Reference is a range, the cell moves to the top left of the range. If Reference is missing, LibreOffice Calc uses the position of the cell in which this formula is located. Microsoft Excel uses the reference of the cell in which the cursor is positioned.

## CURRENT

Calculates the current value of a formula at the actual position.

#### Syntax

CURRENT()

#### Example

=1+2+CURRENT()

The example returns 6. The formula is calculated from left to right as: 1 + 2 equals 3, giving the result to date when CURRENT() is encountered; CURRENT() therefore yields 3, which is added to the original 3 to give 6.

=A2+B2+STYLE(IF(CURRENT()>10;"Red";"Default"))

The example returns A2 + B2 (STYLE returns 0 here). If this sum is greater than 10, the style Red is applied to the cell. See the STYLE function for more explanation.

="choo"&CURRENT()

The example returns choochoo.

#### Technical information

This function is not part of the Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) Version 1.3. Part 4: Recalculated Formula (OpenFormula) Format standard. The name space is

ORG.OPENOFFICE.CURRENT

## FORMULA

Ја прикажува формулата на ќелијата со формула како текстуелна низа.

This function is always recalculated whenever a recalculation occurs.

#### Syntax

FORMULA(reference)

Reference is a reference to a cell containing a formula.

An invalid reference or a reference to a cell with no formula results in the error value #N/A.

#### Example

The cell A8 contains the result of a formula having the value 23. You can now use the Formula function in cell A1 to display the formula in cell A8.

=FORMULA(A8)

## INFO

Returns specific information about the current working environment. The function receives a single text argument and returns data depending on that parameter.

This function is always recalculated whenever a recalculation occurs.

#### Syntax

INFO(type)

The following table lists the values for the text parameter Type and the return values of the INFO function.

Value for "type" | Повратна вредност
--- | ---
"osversion" | Always "Windows (32-bit) NT 5.01", for compatibility reasons
"system" | The type of the operating system: "ANDROID" for Google mobile operating system "DRAGONFLY" for DragonFly operating system forked from FreeBSD "EMSCRIPTEN" for browser WebAssembly system "FREEBSD", "OPENBSD" or "NETBSD" for operating systems based on the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) "HAIKU" for BeOS compatible operating system "iOS" for Apple mobile operating system "LINUX" for GNU/Linux based operating systems "MACOSX" for Apple Mac OS X "SOLARIS" for Oracle Solaris operating system "WNT" for Microsoft Windows
"release" | The product release identifier, for example "300m25(Build:9876)"
"numfile" | Always 1, for compatibility reasons
"recalc" | Current formula recalculation mode, either "Automatic" or "Manual" (localized into LibreOffice language)

Other spreadsheet applications may accept localized values for the "type" parameter, but LibreOffice Calc will only accept the English values.
