<h2 id="hd_id3149399">Formula options</h2>
<h3 id="hd_id31493991">Formula syntax</h3>
<paragraph id="par_id3155419" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">There are three options. Let's see it by example. In a sample spreadsheet there are two worksheets, Sheet1 and Sheet2. In A1 cell of Sheet1 there is a reference to C4 cell of Sheet2.</paragraph>
<list type="unordered">
<listitem>
<paragraph id="par_id3156155" role="listitem" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Calc A1</emph> - This is the default of %PRODUCTNAME Calc. The reference will be <item type="input">=$Sheet2.C4</item></paragraph>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<paragraph id="par_id3147530" role="listitem" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Excel A1</emph> - This is the default of Microsoft Excel. The reference will be <item type="input">=Sheet2!C4</item></paragraph>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<paragraph id="par_id3153061" role="listitem" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Excel R1C1</emph> - This is the relative row/column addressing, known from Microsoft Excel. The reference will be <item type="input">=Sheet2!R[3]C[2]</item></paragraph>
</listitem></list>
<h3 id="hd_id31493992">Use English function names</h3>
<paragraph id="par_id4155419" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">In %PRODUCTNAME Calc function names can be localized. By default, the check box is off, which means the localized function names are used. Checking this check box will swap localized function names with the English ones. This change takes effect in all of the following areas: formula input and display, function wizard, and formula tips. You can of course uncheck it to go back to the localized function names.</paragraph>
<h2 id="hd_id4149399">Separators</h2>
<paragraph id="par_id5155419" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">This option group lets you configure separators in your formula expressions. This comes in handy when, for instance, you want to separate your function parameters by commas (,) instead of semicolons (;).</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id6155419" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">For example, instead of <item type="input">=SUM(A1;B1;C1)</item> you can type <item type="input">=SUM(A1,B1,C1)</item>.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id7155419" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">Likewise, you can also change the column and row separators for in-line arrays. Previously, an in-line array used semicolons (;) as the column separators and the pipe symbols (|) as the row separators, so a typical in-line array expression looked like this for a 5 x 2 matrix array:</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id8155419" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><item type="input">={1;2;3;4;5|6;7;8;9;10}</item></paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id9155419" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">By changing the column separators to commas (,) and the row separators to semicolons (;), the same expression will look like this:</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id0155419" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><item type="input">={1,2,3,4,5;6,7,8,9,10}</item></paragraph>
<embed href="text/shared/optionen/detailedcalculation.xhp#detailed_calculation"/>
<h2 id="hd_id5149400">Recalculation on File Load</h2>
<paragraph id="par_id2335549" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">Recalculating formulas can take significant time while loading very large files.</paragraph>
<h3 id="par_id2115549">Excel 2007 and newer:</h3>
<paragraph id="par_id2015549" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">Loading a large spreadsheet file can take a long time. If you don't need to update your large spreadsheet data immediately, you can postpone the recalculation at a better time. %PRODUCTNAME allows you to defer recalculation of Excel 2007 (and above) spreadsheets to speedup loading time. </paragraph>
<h3 id="par_id2215549">ODF Spreadsheet (not saved by %PRODUCTNAME):</h3>
<paragraph id="par_id2016549" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">Recent versions of %PRODUCTNAME caches spreadsheet formula results into its ODF file. This feature helps %PRODUCTNAME to recalculate a large ODF spreadsheet saved by %PRODUCTNAME faster. </paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id2017549" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">For ODF spreadsheets saved by other programs, where such cached formula results may not exist, recalculation can be deferred to speedup file loading as with Excel 2007 files. </paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id2315549" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US">For the entries above the following choices are possible:</paragraph>
<list type="unordered">
<listitem>
<paragraph id="par_id3256155" role="listitem" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Never recalculate</emph> - No formulas will be recalculated on loading the file.</paragraph>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<paragraph id="par_id3247530" role="listitem" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Always recalculate</emph> - All formulas will be recalculated on file load.</paragraph>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<paragraph id="par_id3253061" role="listitem" xml-lang="en-US"><emph>Prompt user</emph> - Prompt user for action.</paragraph>
</listitem></list>
<tip id="par_id2010549">%PRODUCTNAME saved ODF spreadsheets will honor <emph>Never recalculate</emph> and <emph>Always recalculate</emph> options. </tip>

<paragraph id="par_id200920171902249043" role="paragraph" xml-lang="en-US"><link href="text/scalc/01/04060107.xhp">Array formulas</link></paragraph>
