Overview
The Inline Table Editing macro provides you with extensive calculation capabilities based on spreadsheet notation formulas. It comes with a library of 300+ functions grouped into categories such as math and trigonometry, engineering, statistical, financial, and logical. With these functions, you'll be able to create complex data entry rules, just like in popular business applications.
You can select the most common functions with just a few clicks – just like you know it from Excel.
