These operations are performed using extraction functions expressed in the cells.

The function arguments can refer to cells initialized with dimension values in:

> The axis of the document, which must remain fixed for all functions copied in the data matrix

> The row axis, which must remain fixed for all functions copied on the same row, but can vary depending on the columns.
