MyOffice Spreadsheet calculates formulas based on the following order of operations:

Operations enclosed in parentheses are performed first:

The order of operations depends on their priority.

Operations in the nested parentheses are performed first.

If a formula contains the parentheses that are not essential in the calculation, they will be deleted automatically. For example, the formula =SUM(1+(2*5)+1) will be automatically transformed into =SUM(1+2*5+1).

Operations outside the parentheses are performed according to their precedence.

Operations with the same precedence are performed from left to right, with the exception of the exponentiation (^), which is performed from right to left. Example: = 2^4^2 = 2^16 = 65,536.

If you combine several operators in a single formula, MyOffice Spreadsheet performs the operations in the order shown in the following table.
