Notes

Arguments can be a mix of constants, names, arrays, or references that contain numbers. Empty cells, logical values, and text values are ignored when they appear in arrays or references. The logical values TRUE and FALSE are evaluated as 1 and 0 respectively, but only when they are hardcoded as arguments. Numbers entered as text (i.e. “1”, “3”, etc.) are evaluated, but only when they are hardcoded as arguments.
