Foswiki Spreadsheet Plugin

This Plugin adds spreadsheet capabilities to Wiki topics. Formulae like %CALC{"$INT(7/3)"}% are evaluated at page view time. They can be placed in table cells and outside of tables. In other words, this Plugin provides general formula evaluation capability, not just classic spreadsheet functions.

Example:

Region:	Sales:
Northeast	320
Northwest	580
South	240
Europe	610
Asia	220
Total:	1970

Interactive example:

Formula: %CALC{""}%
Result: Wiki Guest

The formula next to "Total" is %CALC{"$SUM( $ABOVE() )"}%.
(you see the formula instead of the sum in case the Plugin is not installed or not enabled.)

Syntax Rules

The action of this Plugin is triggered by the %CALC{"..."}% macro, which gets rendered according to the built-in function(s) found between the quotes.

Built-in function are of format $FUNCNAME(parameter)
Functions may be nested, e.g. %CALC{"$SUM( R2:C$COLUMN(0)..R$ROW(-1):C$COLUMN(0) )"}%
Functions are evaluated from left to right, and from inside to outside if nested
The function parameter can be text; a mathematical formula; a cell address; or a range of cell addresses
Multiple parameters form a list; they are separated by a comma, followed by optional space, e.g. %CALC{"$SUM( 3, 5, 7 )"}%
A table cell can be addressed as R1:C1. Table address matrix:

R1:C1 R1:C2 R1:C3 R1:C4

R2:C1 R2:C2 R2:C3 R2:C4
A table cell range is defined by two cell addresses separated by "..", e.g. "row 1 through 20, column 3" is: R1:C3..R20:C3
Lists can refer to values and/or table cell ranges, e.g. %CALC{"$SUM( 3, 5, $T(R1:C7), R1:C11..R1:C15 )"}%
Formulae can only reference cells in the current or preceeding row of the current table; they may not reference cells below the current table row
Formulae can also be placed outside of tables; they can reference cells in the preceeding table
Formulae can be placed in a FormattedSearch, but the CALC needs to be escaped. Learn how to use a CALC in a formatted search

SET( name, value ) -- set a variable for later use

Specify the variable name (alphanumeric characters and underscores) and the value. The value may contain a formula; formulae are evaluated before the variable assignment; see $NOEXEC() if you want to prevent that. This function returns no output. Use $GET() to retrieve variables. Unlike table ranges, variables live for the time of the page view and persist across tables, i.e. you can use it to summarize results across several tables and also across included topics
Syntax: $SET( name, value )
Example: %CALC{"$SET(my_total, $SUM($ABOVE()))"}% sets the my_total variable to the sum of all table cells located above the current cell and returns an empty string

Related: $GET(), $SET()

SETM( name, formula ) -- update an existing variable based on a formula

Specify the variable name (alphanumeric characters and underscores) and the formula. The formula must start with an operator to + (add), - (subtract), * (multiply), or / (divide) something to the variable. This function returns no output. Use $GET() to retrieve variables
Syntax: $SETM( name, formula )
Example: %CALC{"$SETM(total, + $SUM($LEFT()))"}% adds the sum of all table cells on the left to the total variable, and returns an empty string
Related: $GET(), $SET(), $SETIFEMPTY()

SUBSTITUTE( text, old, new, instance, option ) -- substitute text

Substitutes new text for old text in a text string. instance specifies which occurance of old you want to replace. If you specify instance, only that instance is replaced. Otherwise, every occurance is changed to the new text. A literal search is performed by default; a RegularExpression search if the option is set to r
Syntax: $SUBSTITUTE( text, old, new, instance, option )
Example: %CALC{"$SUBSTITUTE(Good morning, morning, day)"}% returns Good day
Example: %CALC{"$SUBSTITUTE(Q2-2002, 2, 3)"}% returns Q3-3003

SUBSTRING( text, start, num ) -- extract a substring out of a text string

Extract num number of characters of text string text, starting at start. Starting position is 1; use a negative start to count from the end of the text. If start or num is zero an empty string is returned. If num is greater than the length of the text the entire text string is returned without any extra spaces added.
Syntax: $SUBSTRING( text, start, num )
Example: %CALC{"$SUBSTRING(abcdefghijk, 3, 5)"}% returns cdefg

TIME( text ) -- convert a date string into a serialized date number

Serialized date is seconds since the Epoch, e.g. midnight, 01 Jan 1970. Current time is taken if the date string is empty. Supported date formats: 31 Dec 2009; 31 Dec 2009 GMT; 31 Dec 2009 LOCAL; 31 Dec 09; 31-Dec-2009; 31/Dec/2009; 2009/12/31; 2009-12-31; 2009/12/31; 2009/12/31 23:59; 2009/12/31 - 23:59; 2009-12-31-23-59; 2009/12/31 - 23:59:59; 2009.12.31.23.59.59. Date is assumed to be GMT unless SPREADSHEETPLUGIN_TIMEISLOCAL is set (default 0). Add GMT to force Greenwich time zone. Add LOCAL to force the timezone of the server. Note that if you use LOCAL or SPREADSHEETPLUGIN_TIMEISLOCAL is set to 1, dates entered by users on servers placed to the east of Greenwich will be converted to the day before which will often be undesired. It is recommended to keep SPREADSHEETPLUGIN_TIMEISLOCAL = 0 which is the default. |
Syntax: $TIME( text )
Example: %CALC{"$TIME(2003/10/14 GMT)"}% returns 1066089600

FAQ

Can I use CALC in a formatted search?

Specifically, how can I output some conditional text in a FormattedSearch?

You need to escape the CALC so that it executes once per search hit. This can be done by escaping the % signs of %CALC{...}% with $percnt. For example, to execute $IF($EXACT($formfield(Tested), Yes), %PUBURL%/%SYSTEMWEB%/DocumentGraphics/choice-yes.gif, %PUBURL%/%SYSTEMWEB%/DocumentGraphics/choice-no.gif) in the format="" parameter, write this:

%SEARCH{ .... format="| $topic | $percntCALC{$IF($EXACT($formfield(Tested), Yes), %PUBURL%/%SYSTEMWEB%/DocumentGraphics/choice-yes.gif, %PUBURL%/%SYSTEMWEB%/DocumentGraphics/choice-no.gif)}$percnt |" }%

How can I easily repeat a formula in a table?

To repeat the same formula in all cells of a table row define the formula once in a preferences setting and use that in the CALC. The preferences setting can be hidden in HTML comments. Example:

<!--
   * Set MYFORMULA = $EVAL($SUBSTITUTE(...etc...))
-->
| A | 1 | %CALC{%MYFORMULA%}% |
| B | 2 | %CALC{%MYFORMULA%}% |
| C | 3 | %CALC{%MYFORMULA%}% |

Above table is created manually. Another Plugin could build the table dynamically, e.g. by pulling data out of a bug tracking system. The Spreadsheet Plugin can be used to display table data statistics.

Plugin Settings

You can override some default settings in the plugin by setting the following preferences.

Preference	Meaning	Default
`SPREADSHEETPLUGIN_DEBUG`	Debug plugin: (See output in `data/debug.txt`)	0
`SPREADSHEETPLUGIN_SKIPINCLUDE`	Do not handle `%CALC{}%` variable in included topic while including topic	1
`SPREADSHEETPLUGIN_DONTSPACE`	Comma-delimited list of WikiWords to exclude from being spaced out by the `$PROPERSPACE(text)` function.	CodeWarrior, MacDonald, McIntosh, RedHat, SuSE
`SPREADSHEETPLUGIN_TIMEISLOCAL`	Makes the TIME function assume input is local time and converts the entered time to GMT unless the date has 'GMT' appended. Note that this behavior creates problems for users using servers in time zones to the east of Greenwich. The setting is present for compatibility.	0

Note that the DONTSPACE global preference overrides the SPREADSHEETPLUGIN_DONTSPACE preference for historical reasons.

Plugin Installation Instructions

You do not need to install anything in the browser to use this extension. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the extension on the server.
