EvDRE Options 
You can define any of the following options in the key range parameter to customize your EvDRE data.
Features
You can use the following methods for entering EvDRE options:
You can enter the appropriate keywords in the Options cell of the KeyRange.
The Options cell (which can also be named OptionRange), may contain an EvRNG function pointing to a range of cells listing valid options. This range is the default, if you select the Allow options box in EvDRE Builder. The first column in the range must contain a valid option keyword. The second column activates the corresponding option with a Y value, or with a numeric value.
A list of options is below with a description of each; the keywords are NOT case sensitive.
