<paragraph id="par_id1027200802301348" role="paragraph">For interoperability the ADDRESS and INDIRECT functions support an optional parameter to specify whether the R1C1 address notation instead of the usual A1 notation should be used.</paragraph>

<paragraph id="par_id102720080230151" role="paragraph">In both functions, if the argument is inserted with the value 0, then the R1C1 notation is used. If the argument is not given or has a value other than 0, then the A1 notation is used. </paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id1027200802301556" role="paragraph">In case of R1C1 notation, ADDRESS returns address strings using the exclamation mark '!' as the sheet name separator, and INDIRECT expects the exclamation mark as sheet name separator. Both functions still use the dot '.' sheet name separator with A1 notation.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id1027200802301521" role="paragraph">When opening documents from ODF 1.0/1.1 format, the ADDRESS functions that show a sheet name as the fourth parameter will shift that sheet name to become the fifth parameter. A new fourth parameter with the value 1 will be inserted.</paragraph>

<paragraph id="par_id1672109" role="paragraph">The second syntax is assumed if exactly two parameters are given, of which the first parameter is a cell or cell range reference. The first syntax is assumed in all other cases. The Function Wizard shows the first syntax.</paragraph>
<h3 id="hd_id431585688827982">First Syntax</h3>
<paragraph id="par_id9302346" role="paragraph">
<emph>TargetField</emph> is a string that selects one of the pivot table's data fields. The string can be the name of the source column, or the data field name as shown in the table (like "Sum - Sales").</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id8296151" role="paragraph">
<emph>pivot table</emph> is a reference to a cell or cell range that is positioned within a pivot table or contains a pivot table. If the cell range contains several pivot tables, the table that was created last is used.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id4809411" role="paragraph">If no <emph>Field n / Item n</emph> pairs are given, the grand total is returned. Otherwise, each pair adds a constraint that the result must satisfy. <emph>Field n</emph> is the name of a field from the pivot table. <emph>Item n</emph> is the name of an item from that field.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id6454969" role="paragraph">If the pivot table contains only a single result value that fulfills all of the constraints, or a subtotal result that summarizes all matching values, that result is returned. If there is no matching result, or several ones without a subtotal for them, an error is returned. These conditions apply to results that are included in the pivot table.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id79042" role="paragraph">If the source data contains entries that are hidden by settings of the pivot table, they are ignored. The order of the Field/Item pairs is not significant. Field and item names are not case-sensitive.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id7928708" role="paragraph">If no constraint for a filter is given, the field's selected value is implicitly used. If a constraint for a filter is given, it must match the field's selected value, or an error is returned. Filters are the fields at the top left of a pivot table, populated using the "Filters" area of the pivot table layout dialog. From each filter, an item (value) can be selected, which means only that item is included in the calculation.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id3864253" role="paragraph">Subtotal values from the pivot table are only used if they use the function "auto" (except when specified in the constraint, see <item type="literal">Second Syntax</item> below).</paragraph>
<h3 id="hd_id551585688835597">Second Syntax</h3>
<paragraph id="par_id9937131" role="paragraph"><emph>pivot table</emph> has the same meaning as in the first syntax.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id5616626" role="paragraph"><emph>Constraints</emph> is a space-separated list. Entries can be quoted (single quotes). The whole string must be enclosed in quotes (double quotes), unless you reference the string from another cell.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id4076357" role="paragraph">One of the entries can be the data field name. The data field name can be left out if the pivot table contains only one data field, otherwise it must be present.</paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id8231757" role="paragraph">Each of the other entries specifies a constraint in the form <item type="literal">Field[Item]</item> (with literal characters [ and ]), or only <item type="literal">Item</item> if the item name is unique within all fields that are used in the pivot table.<comment>i82342</comment></paragraph>
<paragraph id="par_id3168736" role="paragraph">A function name can be added in the form <emph>Field[Item;Function]</emph>, which will cause the constraint to match only subtotal values which use that function.
