Examples

It is strongly recommended to use an Excel cell address (ex. A1:B19) containing the information of the parameters requested in all Logicim XLGL functions, such as names or codes. This practice adds flexibility to your worksheet and will ensure the coherence of your results. Moreover, the use of quotation marks (") is essential when the parameters are manually written in the arguments function window.
