collection

An argument that is specified as a collection can be:

• One or more values. For example, "7,9,583".

• A reference to a single table cell. For example, "B2".

• A reference to a single range or single array of table cells. For example, "B2:B7" or "B2:E7".

• Several references to single table cells separated by operators. For example, "B2+B3+B7". In Numbers, these cell references can be in different tables and in different sheets.

• An array returned by an array function.

A collection will have an additional attribute defining the type of values referenced cells can contain.
