TABLE function

PRO

The TABLE function is a unique feature found only in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro, a powerful spreadsheet software. This function allows you to retrieve the Jspreadsheet object instance. In simple terms, it helps you to access and interact with the data stored in your spreadsheet, allowing for more dynamic and flexible data management. It is a crucial tool that provides the foundation for many other operations within Jspreadsheet.

Documentation

The TABLE function is exclusive to jspreadsheet and returns the jspreadsheet object instance.

Syntax

TABLE()

Parameter	Description

Behavior

The TABLEfunction in Jspreadsheet returns the spreadsheet object instance. This allows developers to programmatically access spreadsheet properties, methods, and data. Below are some behaviors to expect when using TABLE:

Empty Cells: The TABLE function does not automatically handle empty cells. It will include them as part of the table, but may not function optimally if these cells are not filled. It's advisable to clean your data before creating a table.
Text: The TABLE function handles text without any issues. It treats each unique text entry as a separate category within the table.
Booleans: Booleans are treated as individual categories within the table, similar to how text is treated.
Errors: If there are errors within the cells that are part of the table, they will be included in the table. This might result in incorrect calculations or filtering. It's advisable to rectify any errors before creating the table.

Common Errors

Error Name	Description
#REF!	This error occurs when the reference in the formula is no longer valid. This could be due to deleted data, moved tables, etc.
#VALUE!	This error happens when the type of input parameters do not match the expected ones.
#NULL!	This error occurs when two areas in a formula don't intersect, or when incorrect range operator is used.

Best Practices

Before creating a table, ensure your dataset is clean and free from errors or inconsistencies that might affect the table's functionality.

Always provide a unique and meaningful name to your table. This makes it easier to reference it in other parts of your spreadsheet.

Regularly check and update your table references if the data in your table changes.

Use structured references instead of cell references for easier reading and understanding of formulas.

Usage

A few examples using the TABLE function.

TABLE() returns the jspreadsheet object instance.
