Formulas

In this chapter, you are going to learn how to write OpenOffice.org Calc formulas. Formulas are simple, yet powerful tools that let you create smart documents that automatically update themselves without too much human intervention. This may sound like rocket science, but it's actually very simple.

Once you understand how formulas works, it really is a great joy to be able to build a complex document that does all the math for you while you focus on solving the real problem.
