Perform customized calculations with the new LAMBDA functions!

We released the LAMBDA function in Zoho Sheet in 2021, enabling customized calculations inside predefined functions. Now, we're extending LAMBDA's capabilities with six new functions. Each of these functions applies LAMBDA to the given input, performs a predefined action, and returns the result.
 

1. MAP()

Performs the LAMBDA calculation on each value in the given array(s), and returns an array as the result.

2. REDUCE()

Performs the LAMBDA calculation on each value in the given array and returns the single accumulated value as the result.

3. SCAN()

Performs the LAMBDA calculation on each value in the given array, and returns a result array of the same size as the input array.

4. MAKEARRAY()

Performs the LAMBDA calculation on the given array and returns an array with a specified number of rows and columns.

5. BYROW() and BYCOL()

Perform the LAMBDA calculation on the given array either by column or row, and return the result in the form of rows (BYCOL) or columns (BYROW). These functions can also be used in combination with other predefined functions, like SUM and MAX.
