What is an INFO formula in a spreadsheet?
Info formulas and functions provide information about data. They can retrieve details about data types, formatting, cell references, and other properties. These formulas are useful for obtaining specific information or metadata about cells or ranges within a spreadsheet.
INFO formula usage examples.
The CELL function returns information about a specified cell in a worksheet. It can be used to retrieve various types of information, such as the address, filename, or content type of a cell. The info_type argument specifies the type of information to be returned, and the reference argument specifies the cell to be analyzed.
The ISREF function is used to check whether a value is a valid cell reference. It returns TRUE if the value is a valid cell reference, and FALSE otherwise. This function is commonly used in conditional formatting rules, data validation, and other scenarios where it is necessary to validate cell references.
