Operators in LibreOffice Calc

You can use the following operators in LibreOffice Calc:

Arithmetical Operators

These operators return numerical results.

કારક	Names	Example
+ (Plus)	Addition	1+1
- (Minus)	Subtraction	2-1
- (Minus)	Negation	-5
* (asterisk)	Multiplication	2*2
/ (Slash)	Division	9/3
% (Percent)	Percent	15%
^ (Caret)	Exponentiation	3^2

Prefix "-" (negation) has a higher precedence than "^" (exponentiation). For example -3^2 equals 9, which is the square of a negative number.

Comparative operators

These operators return either true or false.

કારક	Names	Example
= (equal sign)	Equal	A1=B1
> (Greater than)	Greater than	A1>B1
< (Less than)	Less than	A1<B1
>= (Greater than or equal to)	Greater than or equal to	A1>=B1
<= (Less than or equal to)	Less than or equal to	A1<=B1
<> (Inequality)	Inequality	A1<>B1

Text operators

The operator combines separate texts into one text.

કારક	Names	Example
& (And)	text concatenation AND	"Sun" & "day" is "Sunday"

Reference operators

These operators return a cell range of zero, one or more cells.

Range has the highest precedence, then intersection, and then finally union.

કારક	Names	Example
: (Colon)	વિસ્તાર	A1:C108, A:D or 3:13
! (Exclamation point)	Intersection	SUM(A1:B6!B5:C12) Calculates the sum of all cells in the intersection; in this example, the result yields the sum of cells B5 and B6.
~ (Tilde)	Concatenation or union	Takes two references and returns a reference list, which is a concatenation of the left reference followed by the right reference. Double entries are referenced twice. =COUNT(A1:B2~B2:C3) counts values of A1:B2 and B2:C3. Note that the cell B2 is counted twice. =INDEX(A1:B2~C1:D2;2;1;2) selects cell C2, that is, the first cell of the second row, first column, of the second range (C1:D2) of the range list.

કારક

Names

Example

: (Colon)

વિસ્તાર

A1:C108, A:D or 3:13

! (Exclamation point)

Intersection

SUM(A1:B6!B5:C12)

Calculates the sum of all cells in the intersection; in this example, the result yields the sum of cells B5 and B6.

~ (Tilde)

Concatenation or union

Takes two references and returns a reference list, which is a concatenation of the left reference followed by the right reference. Double entries are referenced twice.

=COUNT(A1:B2~B2:C3) counts values of A1:B2 and B2:C3. Note that the cell B2 is counted twice.

=INDEX(A1:B2~C1:D2;2;1;2) selects cell C2, that is, the first cell of the second row, first column, of the second range (C1:D2) of the range list.

A reference list is not allowed inside an array expression.
