INFO
INFO returns a text string describing a specified aspect of the current spreadsheet environment, using keywords such as "version" (application version), "osversion" (operating system), "recalc" (calculation mode), "numfile" (number of open worksheets), or "directory" (current file path). It is useful for embedding environment details in audit logs or documentation sheets.
