#VarCALCULATE
---+++ CALCULATE{"formula"} -- handle spreadsheet calculations outside tables
   * The =%<nop>CALCULATE{formula}%= variable is handled by the SpreadSheetPlugin. Over 100 functions are available, such as =$ABS()=, =$EXACT()=, =$EXISTS()=, =$GET()/$SET()=, =$IF()=, =$LOG()=, =$LOWER()=, =$PERCENTILE()=, =$TIME()=, =$VALUE()=.
   * Syntax: =%<nop>CALC{formula}%=
   * Examples:
      * =%<nop>CALC{$EXISTS(<nop>Web.SomeTopic)}%= returns =1= if the topic exists
      * =%<nop>CALC{$UPPER(Collaboration)}%= returns =COLLABORATION=
   * Note: The CALCULATE variable is handled inside-out &amp; left-to-right like ordinary TWiki variables, but it does __not__ support functions that refer to table cells, such as =$LEFT()= or =$T()=. Use [[%IF{"'%INCLUDINGTOPIC%'='TWikiVariables'" then="#"}%VarCALC][CALC]] instead.
