Formulas in Windows Forms Spreadsheet

9 Oct 202321 minutes to read

Spreadsheet calculation engine offers automated calculation over a formula, expression, or cross sheet references. Spreadsheet calculation engine is preloaded with 409 formulas covering a broad range of business functions.

Adding formula into cell

To add formulas into a cell programmatically, use SetCellValue method of SpreadsheetGrid should be invoked and then invalidate that cell to update the view.

var range = spreadsheet.ActiveSheet.Range["A2"];
spreadsheet.ActiveGrid.SetCellValue(range, "=SUM(B1:B2)");
spreadsheet.ActiveGrid.InvalidateCell(2,1);

Named Ranges

Named Ranges are the defined names that represents a cell, range of cells, formula, or constant value or table. Each name have a scope of either to a specific worksheet or to the entire workbook.

Define named ranges at runtime

Spreadsheet allows the user to define/add the named ranges at runtime by using AddNamedRange method.

spreadsheet.AddNamedRange("SampleName", "A3:B3", "Sheet1");

Editing or removing named ranges at runtime

Spreadsheet allows the user to edit the named ranges at runtime by EditNamedRange method and remove the named ranges at runtime by DeleteNamedRange method

//To Edit the named ranges,
IName name = spreadsheet.Workbook.Names["Sample"];
spreadsheet.EditNamedRange("Test", "A3:B3", name);

//To remove the named ranges,
IName name = spreadsheet.Workbook.Names["Sample"];
spreadsheet.DeleteNamedRange(name);
