DROP function

PRO

In Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro, the DROP function is used to eliminate a certain number of rows and columns from an array. This function starts the removal process from the top-left corner of the array. For instance, if you want to remove 2 rows and 1 column from your array, the DROP function will eliminate these from the top and left side respectively. This function is particularly useful for simplifying arrays or focusing on specific data within them.

Documentation

The DROP function removes a specified number of rows and columns from a given array, starting from the top-left corner.

Parameter	Description
