Making a working copy of this disk
This disk is only partially formatted and can NOT be copied by
dragging the Disk A icon onto the Disk B icon. To make a
working copy:-
1. Format a blank disk.
2. Put the K-Spread 2 master disk into Drive A
3. Open the window and drag the files, either individually, or
as a group to the Disk B icon. To select a group of files
simultaneously, press the Shift key and click on the files in
turn.
If you only have one disk drive and want to copy only the
essential files needed to run the program, these are
K-SPREAD2.PRG, K-SPREAD ".RSC and EPSON.CFG
The following notes are additions or corrections to the manual.
The example given for using the clipboard icon range requires
an additional step after clicking on the Fn active edit box.
Select (say)the SUM function, then click on the clipboard icon
to display the ranges possible.
The GIVE and TAKE functions now have an option to save by
either ROW or COLUMN, providing a facility to rotate the data
through 90 degrees.
The current cell box only shows the reference of the current
cell, it never shows the original contents.
In some versions of the ST, using an underscore in an .SPD file
will cause the program to hang.
Leading and Trailing Characters
K-Spread allows leading and trailing characters to be attached
to cells of data types value or formula.
The characters themselves are attached by means of four
character types.
These four types are accessed in both the number status and
formula status dialogs, but the four types are common; i.e. the
limit is four not eight. If the first character is changed in
the formula dialog, all cells to which the first CHARACTER TYPE
is attached will change.
Because the first character, the first box, is the default,
changing the CHARACTER IN THAT BOX will change the leading
character for all numeric cells throughout the spreadsheet,
because the character type associated with the first box is
attached to each numeric cell as a default.
To leave a cell without a leading character, having changed the
first of the four boxes, it is would be necessary to attach the
character in the second (say) box to that cell. This is done by
using the range option, which asks for the CELLS TO ATTACH THE
SECOND BOX TO. If the dialog is a FORMULA dialog, only the
Formulae within the range will be affected.
HLOOKUP AND VLOOKUP
Two new functions have been added:
Hlookup and Vlookup are functions which enable you to look up a
value in a table either horizontally or vertically. These
functions have three parameters which must be entered into the
Edit Box in the following way:
HLOOKUP( test-value, range, offset )
VLOOKUP( test-value, range, offset )
EXAMPLE Consider that the cursor is in the top-left cell of a
table at some position on the Spreadsheet.
e.g. | M N O
___|___________________________
77|[[[[4]]]] 50 1000 [[[[]]]] - cursor
78| 4.5 100 2000
79| 5 150 3000
80| 5.5 200 4000
Test-value: If you are using Hlookup then your test-value will
be in the same column as the cursor (M), and if you are using
Vlookup then your test-value will be in the same row as the
cursor (77). The functions search along the column or row for
the largest value which is less than or equal to the the
test-value, e.g. Hlookup would stop at the value 5 if the
test-value was 5.2.
Table Range: Hlookup and Vlookup are confined to a range. In
this case the table ranges from M77 to O80, so the Table Range
is M77:O80.
Offset: The number of cells from the test-value to the required
value is known as the offset. In this example column N has an
offset of 1 and column O has an offset of 2.
HLOOKUP (5.2,M77:O80,0) gives the required value, 3000.
Vlookup is the vertical equivalent of Hlookup.
It is possible to recalc the sheet from the keyboard.
F5 : Will cause a recalc of the current Calc_Area.
F6 : Will cause a recalc of the entire sheet.
