only. You cannot select more than two non-contiguous rows or columns.
• These operations are not supported when selecting rows or columns for non-graphing operations, such as
statistical calculations, etc. Attempting these operations for a non-graphing operation will cause an error.

Inputting a Formula

A formula is an expression that the Spreadsheet application calculates and evaluates when you input it, when
data related to the formula is changed, etc. A formula always starts with an equals sign (=), and can contain
values, mathematical expressions, cell references, and functions.
The screenshot to the right shows a simple example where a formula in cell B5
calculates the mean of the values in cells B1 through B3. Formulas are
calculated dynamically whenever related values are changed, and the latest
result is always displayed in the spreadsheet.
u To input formula "=mean(B1:B3)" in cell B5
1. Tap cell B5 to select it.
2. On the [Calc] menu, tap [List-Statistics] and
then [mean].
• This will cause "=mean(" to be input into
the edit box.
3. Drag from cell B1 to cell B3.
• This will input "B1:B3".
4. Tap the s button next to the edit box or
press the E key. This will finalize input
of "=mean(B1:B3)".
• If you do not input the closing parenthesis ( ) ) it will be input automatically.
