Empty cells, logical values, text, or error values in the array or reference are ignored. Zero values are included. |
SUMX2PY2 | Returns the sum of the sum of squares of corresponding values in two arrays. The arguments should be either numbers or names, arrays, or references that contain numbers. Empty cells, logical values, text, or error values in the array or reference are ignored. Zero values are included. |
SUMXMY2 | Returns the sum of squares of differences of corresponding values in two arrays. The arguments should be either numbers or names, arrays, or references that contain numbers. Empty cells, logical values, text, or error values in the array or reference are ignored. Zero values are included. |
TAN | Returns the tangent of an angle specified in radians. |
TANH | Returns the hyperbolic tangent of a real number. |
TRUNC | Truncates a number to an integer by removing the fractional part of the number. |
VAR | Returns the variance based on a sample. Empty cells, logical values, text, or error values in the array or reference are ignored. |
VARA | Returns the variance based on a sample of the population, including text (evaluate as 0) and logical values (evaluate as 1 for TRUE, and as 0 for FALSE). Empty cells and text values in the array or reference are ignored. |
VARP | Returns the variance of a population based on an entire population of numbers. Empty cells, logical values, text, or error values in the array or reference are ignored. |
VARPA | Returns the variance of a population based on an entire population, including text (evaluate as 0) and logical values (evaluate as 1 for TRUE, and as 0 for FALSE). Empty cells and text values in the array or reference are ignored. |
VAR.S added in v4.3 | Returns the variance based on a sample (ignores logical values and text in the sample). Empty cells, logical values, text, or error values in the array or reference are ignored. |

Getting cell formula
Starting with v4.1, you can get the formula applied to a cell via the getFormula() method. The method takes the id of the cell as a parameter:
var formula = spreadsheet.getFormula("B2");
// -> "ABS(C2)"
