Excel worksheet functions

Most of the Excel worksheet functions are exposed to Visual Basic for Applications through the WorksheetFunction object.
Although white spaces can usually bu used liberally when entering formulas, the parentheses after the function name cannot be separated by a space.
Depending on a setting, arguments in a worksheet function must be separated with either semicolons or formulas.
With the function let, it's possible to declare local variables in a function and use them.
