INFO function

PRO

The INFO function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a tool that provides details about the current operating environment. This can include information about the version of Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro you're using or the operating system it is running on. This function can be particularly useful when troubleshooting issues or customizing your work to suit your specific system setup.

Documentation

Returns information about the current operating environment, such as the Jspreadsheet version and the operating system.

Syntax

INFO(type_text)

Parameter	Description
`type_text`	A text string specifying the type of information you want to retrieve. Currently, only the following information types are supported: 'directory', 'numfile', 'origin', 'osversion', 'recalc', 'release', and 'system'.

Behavior

The INFO function provides information about the current operating environment, such as the operating system, the status of the num lock, caps lock, scroll lock, and more. It's important to note the following behaviors:

The INFO function does not interact with cell content, therefore the handling of empty cells, text, booleans, and errors are not applicable.
It returns a text string with the information requested in the argument.
The function requires a specific type of information to be provided as an argument. For example, "directory", "system", "recalc", "release", "osversion", etc.
If the argument provided is not recognized, the INFO function will return a #VALUE! error.

Common Errors

Error	Description
#VALUE!	This error occurs when the argument provided in the `INFO` function is not recognized.

Best practices

Always ensure to provide a valid argument that the INFO function can recognize. To avoid errors, it is best to check the documentation for the list of valid arguments.

Use the INFO function to troubleshoot problems with your spreadsheet, as it provides valuable information about the current operating environment.

Be aware that information returned by INFO function may vary across different versions and platforms.

Remember that INFO function does not interact with cell content, it's primary use is to provide system or environment specific information.

Usage

A few examples using the INFO function.

INFO("directory") → Returns the current working directory (if supported by the environment)  
INFO("osversion") → Returns the detected operating system version  
INFO("release")   → Returns the current Jspreadsheet release number
