TWiki Spreadsheet Plugin

This plugin adds spreadsheet capabilities to TWiki 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:     TWiki 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{"..."}% variable, which gets rendered according to the built-in function(s) found between the quotes.

• Built-in function are of format $FUNCNAME(parameter)
• Functions may be nested, such as %CALC{"$SUM( R2:C$COLUMN(0)..R$ROW(-1):C$COLUMN(0) )"}%
• Functions are evaluated from left to right, and from inside to outside if nested
• The function parameter can be text; a mathematical formula; a cell address; or a range of cell addresses
• Multiple parameters form a list; they are separated by a comma, followed by optional space, such as %CALC{"$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, such as %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
• Plain text can be added, such as %CALC{"Total: $SUM($ABOVE()) kg"}%

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%/TWikiDocGraphics/choice-yes.gif, %PUBURL%/%SYSTEMWEB%/TWikiDocGraphics/choice-no.gif) in the format="" parameter, write this:

%SEARCH{ .... format="| $topic | $percntCALC{$IF($EXACT($formfield(Tested), Yes), %PUBURL%/%SYSTEMWEB%/TWikiDocGraphics/choice-yes.gif, %PUBURL%/%SYSTEMWEB%/TWikiDocGraphics/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 defined at the site level, web level or topic level, and may be hidden in HTML comments. Example:

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

Bug Tracking Example

Bug#: Priority: Subject: Status: Days to fix Bug:1231 Low File Open ... Open 3 Bug:1232 High Memory Window ... Fixed 2 Bug:1233 Medium Usability issue ... Assigned 5 Bug:1234 High No arrange ... Fixed 1 Total: 4 High: 2 Low: 1 Medium: 1 . Assigned: 1 Fixed: 2 Open: 1 Total: 11

The last row is defined as:

| Total: %CALC{"$ROW(-2)"}% \ 
  | %CALC{"$COUNTITEMS( R2:C$COLUMN()..R$ROW(-1):C$COLUMN() )"}% | . \ 
  | %CALC{"$COUNTITEMS( R2:C$COLUMN()..R$ROW(-1):C$COLUMN() )"}% \ 
  |  Total: %CALC{"$SUM( R2:C$COLUMN()..R$ROW(-1):C$COLUMN() )"}% |

Above table is created manually. The table can be build dynamically with a formatted search , or by a plugin that pulls data from an external source, such as a bug tracking system.

Plugin Settings

Plugin settings are stored as preferences variables. To reference a plugin setting write %<plugin>_<setting>%, i.e. %SPREADSHEETPLUGIN_SHORTDESCRIPTION%

• One line description, is shown in the TextFormattingRules topic:
  • Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Add spreadsheet calculation like "$SUM( $ABOVE() )" to TWiki tables or anywhere in topic text

• Debug plugin: (See output in data/debug.txt)
  • Set DEBUG = 0

• Do not handle %CALC{}% variable in included topic while including topic: (default: 1)
  • Set SKIPINCLUDE = 1

• WikiWords to exclude from being spaced out by the $PROPERSPACE(text) function. This comma delimited list can be overloaded by a DONTSPACE preferences variable:
  • Set DONTSPACE = CodeWarrior, MacDonald, McIntosh, RedHat, SuSE
