Operators in LibreOffice Calc
You can use the following operators in LibreOffice Calc:
Arithmetical Operators
These operators return numerical results.
|
Operator |
Name |
Example |
|---|---|---|
|
+ |
Addition |
1+1 |
|
- |
Subtraction |
2-1 |
|
- |
Negation |
-5 |
|
* |
Multiplication |
2*2 |
|
/ |
Division |
9/3 |
|
% |
Percent |
15% |
|
^ |
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.

Example |
|---|---|---|
|
= |
Equal |
A1=B1 |
|
> |
Greater than |
A1>B1 |
|
< |
Less than |
A1<B1 |
|
>= |
Greater than or equal to |
A1>=B1 |
|
<= |
Less than or equal to |
A1<=B1 |
|
<> |
Inequality |
A1<>B1 |
Text operators
The operator combines separate texts into one text.
|
Operator |
Mjeno |
Přikład |
|---|---|---|
|
& |
text concatenation |
"Sun" & "day" is "Sunday" |
Poćahowe operatory
Tute operatory celowy wobłuk wot nul celow, jedneje cele a wjacore cele wróća.
Wobłuk ma najwyšu prioritu, potom rězne mnóstwo a naposledk zjednoćenske mnóstwo.
|
Operator |
Mjeno |
Přikład |
|---|---|---|
|
: |
Wobłuk |
A1:C108, A:D abo 3:13 |
|
! |
Rězne mnóstwo |
SUMA(A1:B6!B5:C12) Wuličuje sumu wšě h celow w rěznym mnóstwje; w tutym přikładźe je wuslědk suma celow B5 a B6. |
|
~ |
Zjednoćenje abo zjednoćenske mnóstwo |
Bjerje dwaj poćahaj a wróća referencnu lisćinu, kotraž je zjednoćenje lěweho poćaha, slědowany přez prawy poćah. Dwójne zapiski so dwójce referencuja. =LIČBA(A1:B2~B2:C3) hódnoty A:B2 a B2:C3 liči. Dźiwajće na to, zo cela B2 so dwójce liči. =INDEKS(A1:B2~C1:D2;2;1;2) celu C2 wuběra, to rěka, prěnja cela druheje linki, prěnjeje špalty wubraneho wobłuka (C1:D2) wobłukoweje lisćiny. |
Referencna lisćina we wurazu pólneje wariable dowolena njeje.
Operator precedence
Associativity and precedence of operators, from highest to lowest precedence.
|
Associativity |
Operator(s) |
Comments |
|---|---|---|
|
left |
: |
Range. |
|
left |
! |
Reference intersection (A1:C4!B1:B5 is B1:B4). |
|
left |
~ |
Reference union. |
right |
+,- |
Prefix unary operators. For example, -5 or -A1. Note that these have a different precedence than add and subtract. |
|
left |
% |
Postfix unary operator % (divide by 100). Note that this is legal with expressions, for example, B1%. |
|
left |
^ |
Power (2^3 is 8). |
|
left |
*,/ |
Multiply, divide. |
|
left |
+,- |
Binary operations add, subtract. Note that unary (prefix) + and - have a different precedence. |
|
left |
& |
Binary operation string concatenation. Note that "&" shall be escaped when included in an XML document. |
|
left |
=, <>, <, <=, |
Comparison operators equal to, not equal to, less than, less than or equal to, greater than, greater than or equal to. |
Prefix "-" has a higher precedence than "^", "^" is left-associative, and reference intersection has a higher precedence than reference union.
Prefix "+" and "-" are defined to be right-associative. However, note that typical applications which implement at most the operators defined in this specification (as specified) may implement them as left-associative, because the calculated results will be identical.
Precedence can be overridden by using parentheses, so "=2+3*4" computes to 14 but "=(2+3)*4" computes 20.
