Arguments specify the values the function should use in its calculations. The number of arguments, their types, and their formats varies from one function to another. Arguments are usually numeric values, cell or range references, or string values. Most functions have at least one argument; a few have none.
The following chart shows different types of arguments used in SpreadScript functions.
| Argument | Example |
