SCAN

This function scans an array by applying a LAMBDA to each value and returns an array that has each intermediate value.

Syntax

SCAN([initial_value], array, lambda(accumulator, value))

Argument

This function has the following arguments:

Argument

Description

[initial_value]

(Optional) Sets the starting value for the accumulator.

array

An array to be scanned.

lambda

A LAMBDA that is called to scan the array.

The LAMBDA takes two parameters:

  • accumulator: The value totaled up and returned as the final result.

  • value: The calculation applied to each element in the array.

Remarks

  • Use the initial_value argument to set the starting value for the accumulator parameter. If you are working with text, set the initial value to "".

  • If an invalid LAMBDA function or an incorrect number of parameters are provided, it returns a #VALUE! error called "Incorrect Parameters".

Data Types

Returns an array.

Examples

SCAN(1, A1:C2, LAMBDA(a,b,a*b))

SCAN("",A1:C2,LAMBDA(a,b,a&b)
