ses: Formulas
3.1 Cell formulas
=================
To insert a value into a cell, simply type a numeric expression,
‘"double-quoted text"’, or a Lisp expression.
‘0..9’
Self-insert a digit (‘ses-read-cell’).
‘-’
Self-insert a negative number (‘ses-read-cell’).
‘.’
Self-insert a fractional number (‘ses-read-cell’).
‘"’
Self-insert a quoted string. The ending double-quote is inserted
for you (‘ses-read-cell’).
‘(’
Self-insert an expression. The right-parenthesis is inserted for
you (‘ses-read-cell’). To access another cell’s value, just use
its identifier in your expression. Whenever the other cell is
changed, this cell’s formula will be reevaluated. While typing in
the expression, you can use ‘M-<TAB>’ to complete symbol names.
‘' (apostrophe)’
Enter a symbol (ses-read-symbol). SES remembers all symbols that
have been used as formulas, so you can type just the beginning of a
symbol and use ‘<SPC>’, ‘<TAB>’, and ‘?’ to complete it.
To enter something else (e.g., a vector), begin with a digit, then
erase the digit and type whatever you want.
‘RET’
Edit the existing formula in the current cell (‘ses-edit-cell’).
‘C-c C-c’
Force recalculation of the current cell or range
(‘ses-recalculate-cell’).
‘C-c C-l’
Recalculate the entire spreadsheet (‘ses-recalculate-all’).
