  • applyFormula

    .applyFormula( value:string );

    Applies a formula to the cell.

    • value
    • Type:string
    • The formula to parse and apply to the cell.

    Exceptions

    Exception Description
    ig.ArgumentNullException value is null or empty.
    ig.excel.FormulaParseException value is not a valid formula.
    ig.InvalidOperationException The cell is part of an array formula or data table which is not confined to just the cell.

    Remarks

    value is parsed based on the CellReferenceMode of the Workbook to which the cell belongs. If the cell's WorksheetCell.worksheet has been removed from its parent collection, the A1 CellReferenceMode will be used to parse the formula.

    Note: it is slightly faster to use the WorksheetRow.applyCellFormula method, which does not create a WorksheetCell instance internally. However, if a reference to the WorksheetCell instance already exists, using this method is equivalent to using the WorksheetRow.ApplyCellFormula method.

  • associatedDataTable

    .associatedDataTable( );
    Return Type:
    ig.excel.WorksheetDataTable
    Return Type Description:
    The data table to which the cell belongs or null if the cell does not belong to a data table.

    Gets the data table to which the cell belongs.

    Remarks

    The cells in the left-most column and top-most row of the data table will return null for the associated data table.

    If a data table is associated with the cell, getting the WorksheetCell.value will return the calculated value for the cell.

    Note: it is slightly faster to use the WorksheetRow.getCellAssociatedDataTable method, which does not create a WorksheetCell instance internally. However, if a reference to the WorksheetCell instance already exists, using this property is equivalent to using the WorksheetRow.GetCellAssociatedDataTable method.

  • associatedMergedCellsRegion

    .associatedMergedCellsRegion( );
    Return Type:
    ig.excel.WorksheetMergedCellsRegion
    Return Type Description:
    The merged cells region which contains the cell, or null if the cell is not merged.

    Gets the merged cells region which contains the cell, or null if the cell is not merged.

    Remarks

    Note: it is slightly faster to use the WorksheetRow.getCellAssociatedMergedCellsRegion method, which does not create a WorksheetCell instance internally. However, if a reference to the WorksheetCell instance already exists, using this property is equivalent to using the WorksheetRow.GetCellAssociatedMergedCellsRegion method.

    See Also

  • associatedTable

    .associatedTable( );

    Gets the WorksheetTable to which this cell belongs.

    Remarks

    A cell belongs to a table if it exists in any area of the table. It can be a header cell, total cell, or a cell in the data area.

    Note: it is slightly faster to use the WorksheetRow.getCellAssociatedTable method, which does not create a WorksheetCell instance internally. However, if a reference to the WorksheetCell instance already exists, using this property is equivalent to using the WorksheetRow.GetCellAssociatedTable method.

  • cellFormat

    .cellFormat( );
    Return Type:
    ig.excel.IWorksheetCellFormat
    Return Type Description:
    The cell formatting for this cell.

    Gets the cell formatting for this cell.

    Remarks

    Use this property to set cell formatting specific to the cell. If you will be applying the format to numerous cells, see the Workbook.createNewWorksheetCellFormat method for performance considerations.

    If this cell belongs to a merged cell region, getting the CellFormat will get the CellFormat of the associated merged cell region.

    Note: it is slightly faster to use the WorksheetRow.getCellFormat method, which does not create a WorksheetCell instance internally. However, if a reference to the WorksheetCell instance already exists, using this property is equivalent to using the WorksheetRow.GetCellFormat method.

    See Also

  • clearComment

    .clearComment( );

    Removes the comment associated with the cell.

    Remarks

    Note: it is slightly faster to use the WorksheetRow.setCellComment method and pass in null as the comment parameter, which does not create a WorksheetCell instance internally. However, if a reference to the WorksheetCell instance already exists, using this method is equivalent to using the WorksheetRow.SetCellComment method and passing in null as the comment parameter.

    See Also

  • columnIndex

    .columnIndex( );
    Return Type:
    number
    Return Type Description:

    Return Type Description:
    The comment applied to the cell.

    Gets the comment applied to the cell.

    Exceptions

    Exception Description
    ig.InvalidOperationException The value applied only has only one anchor cell set. It should have both or neither anchor cells set.
    ig.InvalidOperationException The value has its WorksheetShape.topLeftCornerCell and WorksheetShape.bottomRightCornerCell anchors set but they are from different worksheets.

    Remarks

    Note: it is slightly faster to use the WorksheetRow.getCellComment or WorksheetRow.setCellComment methods, which do not create WorksheetCell instances internally. However, if a reference to the WorksheetCell instance already exists, using this property is equivalent to using the WorksheetRow.GetCellComment or WorksheetRow.SetCellComment methods.

    See Also

    ig.InvalidOperationException The value has its WorksheetShape.topLeftCornerCell and WorksheetShape.bottomRightCornerCell anchors set but they are from different worksheets.

    Remarks

    Note: it is slightly faster to use the WorksheetRow.getCellComment or WorksheetRow.setCellComment methods, which do not create WorksheetCell instances internally. However, if a reference to the WorksheetCell instance already exists, using this property is equivalent to using the WorksheetRow.GetCellComment or WorksheetRow.SetCellComment methods.

    Gets the formula which has been applied to the cell.

    Remarks

    If a formula has been applied to the cell, getting the WorksheetCell.value will return the calculated value of the formula.

    Note: it is slightly faster to use the WorksheetRow.getCellFormula method, which does not create a WorksheetCell instance internally. However, if a reference to the WorksheetCell instance already exists, using this property is equivalent to using the WorksheetRow.GetCellFormula method.

  • getBoundsInTwips

    .getBoundsInTwips( );
    Return Type:
    object
    Return Type Description:

    Gets the bounds of the cell in twips (1/20th of a point).

    Remarks

    The bounds returned by this method are only valid with the current configuration of the worksheet. If any rows or columns before the cell are resized, these bounds will no longer reflect the position of the cell.

    Note: it is slightly faster to use the WorksheetRow.getCellBoundsInTwips method, which does not create a WorksheetCell instance internally. However, if a reference to the WorksheetCell instance already exists, using this method is equivalent to using the WorksheetRow.GetBoundsInTwips method.
