MIDENT(size)

Creates an identity matrix of a specified size. The size argument is optional.


Maximum allowable size 63 x 63 (larger gives #VALUE! error).
Can be used in a formula or used to fill a selection.

MINDEX(lookup_value, array_, match_type)


Returns a horizontal 2-element array containing the row and column numbers of a specified value in an array
Match_type is the number -1, 0, or 1.
If match_type is 1, returns the position of the largest value that is less than or equal to lookup_value.
If match_type is 0, returns the position of the value that is exactly equal to lookup_value, or #N/A.
If match_type is -1, returns the position of the smallest value that is greater than or equal to lookup_value.

MSCALE(array_, ScaleFactorLogical)
Calculates and applies scale factors for a NxM matrix and returns a NxM scaled matrix.
All values in a row are scaled by dividing by the largest element in that row.
Also creates a 1-column vector of N elements, containing the scale factors.
Syntax: MScale(array_,ScaleFactorLogical)
If ScaleFactorLogical = False or omitted, returns the scaled matrix.
If ScaleFactorLogical = True, returns the scale factor vector.

Arr(range1...,)
Combines individual 1-D or 2-D arrays into a final 2-D array.
All individual arrays must be "vertical" and must have same number of rows.

InterpL(lookup_value, known_x´s, known_y´s)


Performs linear interpolation, using an array of known_x´s, known_y´s.

Performs cubic interpolation, using an array of known_x´s, known_y´s.
The known_x´s must be in ascending order.

InterpC2(x_lookup, y_lookup, known_x´s, known_y´s, known_z´s)


Performs cubic interpolation in a two-way table, using an array of known_x´s, known_y´s and known_z's.
known_x´s are in a column, known_y´s are in a row, or vice versa.
The known_x´s and known_y´s must be in ascending order.
