    The following table provides a list of intrinsic functions that can be used for arrays.

    Function Description
    MAXLOC(A1) Returns the integer location or index of the maximum value in array A1.
    MAXVAL(A1) Returns the maximum value in array A1. Type of value returned is based on the type of the argument array A1.
    MINLOC(A1) Returns the integer location or index of the minimum value in array A1.
    MINVAL(A1) Returns the minimum value in array A1. Type of value returned is based on the type of the argument array A1.
    SUM(A1) Returns the sum of values in array A1. Type of value returned is based on the type of the argument array A1.
