For entering mathematical formulas there are several special variables and constants, most of which are directly connected to the contents or indices of the data matrix:
| Identifier |
Type |
Explanation |
| NCol |
const |
R/O |
Number of columns of the data matrix |
| NRow |
const |
R/O |
Number of rows of the data matrix |
| Pi |
const |
R/O |

| Cx |
var |
R/W |
Data in column x (x = 1..NCol) |
| Rx |
var |
R/W |
Data in row x (x =1..NRow) |
| Cx:Cy |
var |
R/W |
Data in columns x to y (x,y = 1..NCol) |
| Rx:Ry |
var |
R/W |
Data in row x to y (x,y = 1..NRow) |
| CuRv:CxRy |
var |
R/W |
Data in a rectangular area of the data matrix which is bounded by the columns Cu and Cx and the rows Rv and Ry. |
| All |
var |
R/W |
All data of the data matrix |
| Marked |
var |
W/O |
All marked cells of the data matrix; the identifier "Marked" is only allowed in the left part of an equation. |
| Rix |
var |
R/O |
Row index of the data matrix |
| Cix |
var |
R/O |
Column index of the data matrix |
