ApplyFormula Method (WorksheetCell)

Applies a formula to the cell.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Sub ApplyFormula( _
   ByVal value As String _
) 

C#

public void ApplyFormula( 
   string value
)

Parameters

value

The formula to parse and apply to the cell.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentNullException	value is null or empty.
FormulaParseException	value is not a valid formula.
System.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 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.
