* Continue MathTrig Breakup - Completion!
Continuing the process of breaking MathTrip.php up into smaller classes. This round takes care of everything that was left:
- ABS
- DEGREES
- EXP
- RADIANS
- SQRT
- SQRTPI
- SUMSQ, SUMX2MY2, SUMX2PY2, SUMXMY2
The only notable logic change was that the 3 SUMX* functions had accepted arrays of unlike length; in that condition, they now return N/A, as Excel does. There had been no tests for this condition.
All the functions in MathTrig.php are now deprecated. Except for COMBIN, the test suite executes them only from MathTrig MovedFunctionsTest. COMBIN is still directly called by some Statistics Binomial functions which have not yet had the opportunity to be re-coded for the new location.

* Continue MathTrig Breakup - Penultimate?
Continuing the process of breaking MathTrip.php up into smaller classes. This round takes care of about half of what is left, so perhaps one round after this one will finish the job:
- ARABIC
- COMBIN; also implemented COMBINA
- FACTDOUBLE
- GCD (which accepts and ignores empty cells as arguments, but returns VALUE if all the arguments are that way; LCM does the same)
- LOG_BASE, LOG10, LN
- implemented MUNIT
- MOD
- POWER
- RAND, RANDBETWEEN (RANDARRAY is too complicated to implement with this ticket)
As you can see from the description, there are some functions which were combined in a single class. When not combined, I adopted PowerKiki's suggestion of using "execute" as the function name.

Continuing the process of breaking MathTrip.php up into smaller classes. This round takes care of all functions which might be an impediment to installing due to either uncovered code or "complexity":
- BASE
- FACT
- LCM
- MDETERM, MINVERSE, MMULT
- MULTINOMIAL
- PRODUCT
- QUOTIENT
- SERIESSUM
- SUM
- SUMPRODUCT
MathTrig and the members in directory MathTrig are now 100% covered. Many tests have been added, and some edge-case bugs are corrected. Some cases where PhpSpreadsheet had rejected numeric values stored as strings have been changed to accept them whenever Excel does; there had been no tests for that condition.
Boolean arguments are now accepted as arguments wherever Excel accpets them. Taking a cue from what has been done in Engineering, the parameter validation now happens in a routine which issues Exceptions for invalid values; this simplifies the code in the functions themselves. Thank you for doing that; I did not foresee how useful that was when I first looked at it.
Consistent with earlier changes of this nature, the versions in the MathTrig class remain, with a doc block indicating deprecation, and a stub call to the new routines.
All tests except for MINVERSE and MMULT are now handled in the context of a spreadsheet rather than a direct call to the calculation function which implements it. PhpSpreadsheet would need to handle dynamic arrays in order to test MINVERSE and MMULT in a spreadsheet context. Implementing that looks like it might be *very* challenging. It is not something I plan to look at, at least not in the near future.
One parsing problem turned up in the test conversion. It is in one of the SUMIF tests. It takes me to an area in Calculation where the comment says "I don't even want to know what you did to get here". It did not show up in the previous incarnation because, by using a direct call, the previous test managed to bypass the parsing. I have confirmed that this problem shows up in earlier releases of PhpSpreadsheet, so the changes in this PR did not cause it - they merely exposed it. I have left the test intact, but marked it "incomplete" for documentation purposes. I have not been able to get a handle on what's going wrong yet. I will probably open an issue on it if I can't resolve it soon. However, the test in question isn't a "real world" issue, and the error wasn't caused by this change, so I see no reason to delay this pending a resolution of the problem.
SUM had an idiosyncratic moment of its own. It had been ignoring non-numeric values, but Excel returns VALUE in that situation. So I changed it and wrote some new tests, which worked, but ... SUMIF uses several levels of indirection to get to SUM, and SUMIF *does* ignore non-numeric values, so a SUMIF test broke. SUM is a really simple function; the most practical approach seemed to be to clone it, with the string-accepting version being used by the Legacy version (which is called by SUMIF), and the non-string-accepting version being used in the Calculation Function table. That seems far easier and more practical than, for instance, adding a boolean parameter to the variable parameter list. As a follow-up, I will change SUMIF to explicitly call the appropriate new version, but I did not want to add that to this already large change.
SUM again - although it was fully covered beforehand, there was not a specific test member for it. There is now.
FACT had been coded to fail Gnumeric requests where the numeric argument has a decimal portion. However, Gnumeric does accept such an argument, and, unlike Excel and ODS, does not truncate it, but returns the result of a Gamma function call instead. This has been corrected.
When LCM included arguments which contained both 0 and a negative number, it returned 0 or NUM, whichever it found first. It is changed to always return NUM in that circumstance, as Excel does.
QUOTIENT had been documented as taking a variadic list of arguments. In fact, it takes exactly 2 - numerator and denominator - and the docblock and signature is fixed, even in the deprecated version.
The SERIESSUM docbock and signature are more accurate, even in the deprecated version. It is changed to ignore nulls, as Excel does, rather than return VALUE, and is one of the routines which previously rejected numbers in string form.
SUBTOTAL tests had used mocking for some reason. These are replaced with normal tests. And SUBTOTAL had a big surprise in store. That part of it which deals with hidden cells cares only whether the row is hidden, and doesn't care about the column's visibility.
I struggled with whether it should be SubTotal or Subtotal. I think the latter is correct, so that's how I proceeded. I don't think there are likely to be any other capitalization controversies.
* Continue MathTrig Breakup - Trig Functions
Continuing the process of breaking MathTrip.php up into smaller classes.
This round takes care of the trig and hyperbolic functions, plus a few others.
- COS, COSH, ACOS, ACOSH
- COT, COTH, ACOT, ACOTH
- CSC, CSCH
- SEC, SECH
- SIN, SINH, ASIN, ASINH
- TAN, TANH, ATAN, ATANH, ATAN2
- EVEN
- ODD
- SIGN
There are no bug fixes in this PR, except that boolean arguments are now
accepted for all these functions, as they are for Excel.
Taking a cue from what has been done in Engineering, the parameter validation
now happens in a routine which issues Exceptions for invalid values;
this simplifies the code in the functions themselves.
Consistent with earlier changes of this nature, the versions in the
MathTrig class remain, with a doc block indicating deprecation,
and a stub call to the new routines.
I think several more iterations will be needed to break up MathTrig completely.
* ROUND Accepts null, false, and true as First Parameter
Issue #1789 was addressed by PR #1799. In a follow-up discussion,
it came to light that ROUND was not handling the unexpected case where the
first parameter is an empty cell in the same manner that Excel does.
Subsequent investigation showed that a boolean first parameter is permitted.
I broadened my investigation to include the following related functions.
- ROUNDUP
- ROUNDDOWN
- MROUND
- TRUNC
- INT
- FLOOR
- FLOOR.MATH
- FLOOR.PRECISE
- CEILING
- CEILING.MATH
- CEILING.PRECISE
All of these allow a NULL first parameter, and all except MROUND allow boolean.
For completeness, I will note that all treat null string as invalid.
I suspect there are other functions which permit
similarly unexpected parameters, but I consider them out of scope for this PR.
CEILING.MATH and CEILING.PRECISE were unimplemented, and are now supported
as part of this PR.
The tests for each of these functions have been re-coded, though all the original
test data is still included in the test cases, plus several new cases for each.
The new tests now take place as a user would invoke the functions,
through a spreadsheet cell rather than a
direct call to the appropriate function within Calculation/MathTrig.
Aside from being more realistic, the new tests are also more complete.
For example, FLOOR.MATH can take from 1-3 arguments, and the existing tests
confirmed that the function in Calculation could handle a single argument.
However, the function list in Calculation.php erroneously set the number of
arguments for FLOOR.MATH to exactly 3, so, if a user tried to get the calculated
result of a cell containing FLOOR.MATH(1.2), the result would be an Exception.
Aside from the parameter support, there are a few minor code changes.
Ods, as well as Gnumeric, allows the omission of the second parameter for
FLOAT and CEILING; Excel does not. A potential divide-by-zero error is
avoided in CEILING, FLOOR, and FLOORMATH.
I will note that it would probably be beneficial in terms of maintainability
to break MathTrig up into many individual modules. The same would hold for the
other Calculation modules. I would be willing to look into this if you agree
that it would be worthwhile.
