LET

Assigns names to calculation results. This allows storing intermediate calculations, values, or defining names inside a formula. These names only apply within the scope of the LET function.

=LET(Name1; Name_value1; Calculation_or_Name2 [; Name_value2; Calculation_or_Name3 [; ...]])

Name1: the first name to assign. Must start with a letter. Cannot be the output of a formula or conflict with range syntax.

Name1 must follow the naming rules of LibreOffice Calc.


Name_value1: the value or calculation to assign to Name1.

Name2; Name_value2;...: (optional) same as Name1 and Name_value1, respectively. Name_value2 must follow Name2 and so on.

Calculation: a formula expression that uses all names within the LET function.

Suppose we have built a small database table occupying the cell range A1:DO4 and containing basic information about 118 chemical elements. The first column contains the row headings โ€œElementโ€, โ€œSymbolโ€, โ€œAtomic Numberโ€, and โ€œRelative Atomic Massโ€. Subsequent columns contain the relevant information for each of the elements, ordered left to right by atomic number. For example, cells B1:B4 contain โ€œHydrogenโ€, โ€œHโ€, โ€œ1โ€ and โ€œ1.008โ€, while cells DO1:DO4 contain โ€œOganessonโ€, โ€œOgโ€, โ€œ118โ€, and โ€œ294โ€.

Calculate the molar mass of the water molecule knowing that the molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

=LET(mHydro; HLOOKUP("Hydrogen"; $A$1:$DO$4; 4; 0); mOxy; HLOOKUP("Oxygen"; $A$1:$DO$4; 4; 0); "The molar mass of water is "&(mOxy+2*mHydro)&" g/mol") returns "The molar mass of water is 18.015 g/mol".
