Trait Implementations

impl Debug for DVarFn

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Function for DVarFn

Returns the sample variance of a database field for records matching criteria.

DVAR filters records first, then computes variance using the sample denominator (n - 1).

Remarks

• Criteria rows are OR alternatives; criteria columns within each row are AND constraints.
• field can be resolved by case-insensitive header text or 1-based index; unresolved fields return #VALUE!.
• At least two numeric values must match criteria, otherwise the function returns #DIV/0!.

fn caps(&self) -> FnCaps

Capability flags for this function

fn name(&self) -> &'static str

fn min_args(&self) -> usize

fn variadic(&self) -> bool

fn arg_schema(&self) -> &'static [ArgSchema]

fn eval<'a, 'b, 'c>( &self, args: &'c [ArgumentHandle<'a, 'b>], ctx: &dyn FunctionContext<'b>, ) -> Result<CalcValue<'b>, ExcelError>

The unified evaluation path.

fn namespace(&self) -> &'static str

fn volatile(&self) -> bool

fn aliases(&self) -> &'static [&'static str]

Optional list of additional alias names (case-insensitive) that should resolve to this function. Default: empty slice. Implementors can override to expose legacy names. Returned slice must have ’static lifetime (typically a static array reference).

fn function_salt(&self) -> u64

fn eval_reference<'a, 'b, 'c>( &self, _args: &'c [ArgumentHandle<'a, 'b>], _ctx: &dyn FunctionContext<'b>, ) -> Option<Result<ReferenceType, ExcelError>>

Optional reference result path. Only called by the interpreter/engine when the callsite expects a reference (e.g., range combinators, by-ref argument positions, or spill sources).

fn dispatch<'a, 'b, 'c>( &self, args: &'c [ArgumentHandle<'a, 'b>], ctx: &dyn FunctionContext<'b>, ) -> Result<CalcValue<'b>, ExcelError>

Dispatch to the unified evaluation path with automatic argument validation.
