How to Use Math Operations and Formulas in SciNote Tables

Tables that are created under the section Table in a protocol step or under Results in SciNote support basic math operations just as Excel spreadsheets do, but with some exceptions.

 

Please note that our table solution does not support cell-clicking for formula input. Users are required to manually enter operations, providing a simplified approach without the complexities of Excel's extensive functionalities. As an alternative we suggest you use MS Office online integration as an alternative for some more complex operations.

The functions that can be used in SciNote tables are the following:

PRODUCT function can't be used in SciNote tables, but you can use * instead. 


When copy-pasting the numbers from the Excel file to the SciNote table, you need to open the view Show formulas in an Excel file first. Then copy the content and paste it into the SciNote table using CTRL + V keys.

Formulas are based on the position of cells, so if you copy-paste Excel table cells from C37:C44 to SciNote table cells A1:A8 the formulas won't function because of different cell positions.
