Keyword Format
Keywords are written by themselves or with parameters.
$ Keyword(parameter)$ Example: $ReportDataSum(Hour,R01,00,23)$
• Basic Rules
• The dollar sign on the left indicates the start of a keyword, and the dollar sign on
the right indicates the end of a keyword.
• You
can only write keywords using letters of the alphabet, dollar signs, parentheses,
commas, and spaces. You can put a space after an opening parenthesis, before
and after a comma, and before a closing parenthesis. There is no distinction
between uppercase and lowercase letters. You cannot use a dollar sign inside of a
keyword.
•
The maximum length of a keyword, including spaces, is 100 characters.
• Parameter Rules
• Parameters are enclosed in parentheses.
• Multiple parameters (up to 4) are separated by commas.
• Examples of how parameters can be omitted are shown below.
$ReportDataSum(Hour, R01, ,23)$ The third parameter is omitted.
$ReportDataSum(Hour, R01, 01, )$ or The fourth parameter is omitted.
$ReportDataSum(Hour, R01, 01)$
• Rules That Relate to Excel
• Set the data format by setting the cell format.
• Set the proper format for each keyword’s cell in the cell’s Number properties.
• The keyword in a cell is only valid when the keyword name and parameters are
all in the same format. When a keyword’s font size or some other property is not
consistent, it is invalid.
$ReportDataSum(
Hour
, R01, 00, 23)$
The font size of “Hour” is different, so the
keyword is invalid.
• When a single cell contains text and a keyword, only the format of the keyword has
to be consistent. The format of the text can be different.
Date and time: $DateTime$ The format of the keyword is consistent,
so it is valid.
