Referencing existing functions in custom function

[jeffrod1]

Hello,

I was wondering if it is, or would be, possible to reference an existing function inside a custom function? For example, I would like to call the existing MATCH function inside my custom function and use the returned index for further actions. I am essentially trying to write a LOOKUP function since there isn't one currently built-in and would like to use MATCH to start.

Also this may be a different issue/question but I originally attempted to use the code inside of doMatch() inside my custom lookup function. i was able to access this.columnSearch but this.rowSearch did not give me anything. Not sure if that should be exposed or not. Thanks for your time!

Hi @jeffrod1

I see that the conversation/ticket is marked as solved. Do you still need any help here?

[jeffrod1]

No I figured out another way to accomplish what I was trying to do, but it would be nice to still have the ability to piggyback off an existing function if that doesn't already exist.

@jeffrod1 Calling a built-in function from a custom functions is technically possible but I wouldn't recommend that. Take a look at the comment I made in another discussion
