Example of Using HSC Chemistry Add-Inn Functions To Create A Table of Minerals

The document demonstrates how to use functions in the HSC Chemistry Add-in to create a table of minerals with their properties. It shows examples of functions like =MineralCode(), =MineralFormula(), and =MineralProperty() that retrieve mineral codes, formulas, names, elemental compositions, density, hardness, color, luster, and group from the HSC mineral database. The functions allow populating a table with standard mineral property data based on the mineral's name or code.

HSC Command Code example
=MineralCode(B4) =MineralCode("Pyrite")
=MineralFormula(B5) =MineralFormula("Galena")
=MineralName(B7) =MineralName("Cc")
=MineralC(B4;A8) =MineralC("Pyrite";"S")
=MineralC(B$6;$A11) =MineralC("Galena";"S")
=MineralC(B$6;$A12) =MineralC("Py";"S")
