Adding custom functions

Starting from version 8.1, you can add custom functions to the spreadsheets using the Macros plugin:

  1. Open the View tab and select Macros. The macros window will pop up.
  2. In the Custom functions section, click Plus icon. You will be presented with the custom function template:
(function()
{
  /**
  * Function that returns the argument
  * @customfunction
  * @param {any} arg Any data.
  * @returns {any} The argumet of the function.
  */
  function myFunction(arg) {
    return arg;
  }
  Api.AddCustomFunction(myFunction);
})();
  1. Write a description for your function, specify the parameters and return value if necessary. Add a script for your function. Use the Api.AddCustomFunction method to add a function to the system.
  2. Click Save.
