4.7.1 Built-in Functions

   

NExS also provides a wide array of functions that perform certain tasks. Functions can be used alone or in combination with formulas and other functions. NExS was designed for demanding users, so it provides many highly specialized functions for business, engineering, scientific, and statistical applications. You can create your own functions using the Connections API. For more information about functions, refer to Chapter 7, Built-in Functions, and also the Function Reference in Appendix A.


A mechanism you might find useful is the ability to select a built-in function from any of the function lists included in on-line help and then paste the function directly into the edit line. First start the formula by typing an ``='' sign then select and paste the function directly into the edit line next to the equal sign. Of course, you must first display the function list from on-line help.
