Database Functions
- 2 minutes to read
This document describes database functions supported by the non-visual Spreadsheet component.
Database functions use cell ranges that make up a list or database. A database in this context is a list of related data in which rows are records and columns are fields. The first row of the list contains labels for each column.
A database (or list) is defined by the datalist parameter in the function syntax.
