Eval Function

=eval(Function,Parameter range,Value Range, Optional ReturnType, Optional CommaDec)

Evaluate a function, replacing the parameters listed in the

Parameter range with the corresponding values in the Value Range

Function is a single cell or text string containing the function to be evaluated

Parameter range and Value range are single column or single row ranges containing the same number of
cells

If ReturnType = 0 Eval returns the function string after substitution of values

If ReturnType = any other value, or is ommitted, Eval returns the value of the function after substitution of values

If CommaDec = True then before evaluation all commas are converted to decimal points and all semi-colons are converted to
If CommaDec = False or is omitted then commas and semi-colons are not converted

SubstituteA Function - see also Substitute sheet

=SubstituteA(Function,Parameter range,Value Range)
SubstituteA returns the same string as Eval with a ReturnType of 0.
The same results are also given by repeated application of the Excel built-in Substitute() function.

EvalText Function
=EvalText(Function)
EvalText evalutes a text function consisting of numerical values, for example the output of the SubstituteA function.
The text may also be evaluated using a defined name (see Eqn1_1 in Name Manager and the example below).

Evala Function
=evala(Function,Parameter range,Value Range, Optional xRange, Optional CommaDec)

Evaluate a function, replacing the parameters listed in the

Parameter range with the corresponding values in the Value Range
If xRange is present the function will return an array of values with
the parameter given in the first cell of xRange replaced by each value in the range

xRange is a single column or row range with the parameter to be substituted

in the first cell, followed by any number of values.

If xRange is present EvalA returns a single column array, and should be entered as
an array function (press ctrl-shift-enter)

If CommaDec = True then before evaluation all commas are converted to decimal points and all semi-colons are converted to
If CommaDec = False or is omitted then commas and semi-colons are not converted

Evalint Function
=evalint(Function,Parameter range,Value Range, Integration parameters, Optional Integration type)

EvalInt evaluates the integral of a function over a specified range, with a specified
number of increments. Either Simpson's Rule (default) or the Trapezoidal Rule may be
used. If Simpson's Rule is specified with an odd number of increments the increment
number is increased by 1.

Function = function to be integrated

Parameter range = range with constant symbols
Value range = range with constant values
Integration parameters = range with:
variable symbol, integration range lower limit,integration range upper limit, number of steps
Integration type = 1 for Simpson's Rule, 2 for Trapezoid Rule

tolerance by successive doubling of the number of integration steps.
