Creating a Custom Function

If you need a function that isn't listed above, you can create your own function and use it in the spreadsheet.

To add a new function, use the registerMathMethod method. You should pass two parameters to it:

  • the name of the function. It should be defined in uppercase
  • the function handler. It takes all the necessary parameters and contains the function's logic. The handler receives either of the following notions as a parameter:
    • a single value (a reference to a cell)
    • an array of values (a reference to a range of cells)

For example, let's create a function "FIRST" that will return the value of the first cell in a range. So, we should add our function to the list as follows:

$$("ss").registerMathMethod("FIRST", function(range){
    return range[0];
});

And we can use the new method as:

=FIRST(H3:H5);

In the above example we have passed one parameter to the handler, the cell range. The "FIRST" function returns the value of the first cell.
