+ * Implementation for Excel DELTA() function.
+ *
+ * Syntax:
DELTA (number1,number2 )
+ *
+ * Tests whether two values are equal. Returns 1 if number1 = number2; returns 0 otherwise.
+ * Use this function to filter a set of values. For example, by summing several DELTA functions
+ * you calculate the count of equal pairs. This function is also known as the Kronecker Delta function.
+ *
+ *
+ * - If number1 is nonnumeric, DELTA returns the #VALUE! error value.
+ * - If number2 is nonnumeric, DELTA returns the #VALUE! error value.
