Extracting Excel Formulas From Cells Using .net As Strings?
Feb 6, 2011
What I'm trying to do is extract values, colors, comments, and any formulas for a range of cells in a given worksheet. The ultimate goal is convert a spreadsheet someone has been using as a database into Access tables.
worksheet.Cells(row,column).Value 'extract value WORKS
worksheet.Cells(row,column).Font.ColorIndex 'extract color index WORKS
worksheet.Cells(row,column).Comment.Text 'extract comment WORKS
worksheet.Cells(row,column).Formula 'extract formula DOES NOT WORK
The return value for .Formula is same as .Value. That's not what I need. I'm looking for a textual representation of the formula (to extract rate information embedded within the formula).

(using VB2008)I was wondering if it's possible to implement dynamic (runtime) formulas between objects and properties. My inspiration is Excel, where any cell can have a hardcoded value or be a function of other cells. So via analogy of a property acting like a cell, depending upon the situation, I would like to either give it a defined value or make it a function of other properties of objects of the same type.
There seem to be two basic levels of functionality, 1) the dependent property recalculates its value every time it's accessed, or better is 2) it detects when its input properties change value and recalculates itself only once (as in Excel). But so far I've failed to find any way to do either with ordinary properties. It seems like I would either have to turn each property into a class (and use events, references to parent properties, etc), or use reflection heavily. Either way I feel like I'm going off the beaten path and making things complicated. Has anyone done something like this?

We have an automatic process that opens a template excel file, writes rows of data, and returns the file to the user. This process is usually fast, however I was recently asked to add a summary page with some Excel formulas to one of the templates, and now the process takes forever.
It successfully runs with about 5 records after a few minutes, however this week's record set is almost 400 rows and the longest I've let it run is about half an hour before cancelling it. Without the formulas, it only takes a few seconds to run.
Is there any known issues with writing rows to an Excel file that contains formulas? Or is there a way to tell Excel not to evaluate formulas until the file is opened by a user?
The formulas on the summary Sheet are these:
' Returns count of cells in column where data = Y
=COUNTIF(Sheet1!J15:Sheet1!J10000, "Y")
=COUNTIF(Sheet1!F15:Sheet1!F10000, "Y")

My main goal is to have an excel spreadsheet that automatically plots the overall success of my stock portfolio over time (% change over time). I've been able to incorporate stock data into my spreadsheet by linking it to the web, but the trouble is the spreadsheet will keep no history of what the previous stock values were, so I can't graph how things change over time. This sounds like it might be too complicated to be built in to excel, so I was wondering if anyone knew how to program this in Visual Basic. Maybe something like this.... If refresh then new cell plus new time stamp. Another possibility would be to have a whole bunch of cells that refresh only once but at longer and longer intervals, e.g.,

My application needs to extract an embedded file (OLE object) from an excel 2003 document to a file on disk. This file can be any type, not only an Office document. Searching in the web it seems to be possible by copying OLE object to Clipboard and later copying (binary) it to a file (¿perhaps using MemoryStream and FileStream?), but I see no working code about this.

I'm trying to copy cells from Excel to a new mail message in Outlook. Excel and Outlook both open fine but it doesn't copy.
Im using the following code:
Dim content = xlWorkSheet.Range("A1:C21").Copy()
Dim oApp As Outlook._Application
oApp = New Outlook.Application()
[Code]....
This does not copy the cells. It simply displays an email with a body that says "true".
I am using the excel sheet to do other things which work fine, so the excel code works. Just having trouble copying the cells.

I has some vb.net code to export some data into Excel format. I had set one of the column to date format. But I want to avoid user from changing the format because they can easily right click the Excel cells, and choose Format Cells. How can I disable this option in Excel via vb.net code so that user will always follow my format?
worksheet.Cells(intCnt, 19).NumberFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy;@"
worksheet.Cells(intCnt, 19).Style.Locked = True
I use the above code to locked it but seems to be not working.

I'm trying to write an import function for getting data out of an excel file. How I currently do it is as follows:
Private Sub ReadExcel(ByVal childform As PhoneDiag.frmData, ByVal FileName As String)
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook[code]....
From what I can gather, it more than likely comes down to this line:
Dim Obj = CType(therange.Cells(rCnt, cCnt), Excel.Range)
All I need is the text from the cells, not to create an object for each cell (and then not send them to garbage collection).Is there an easier way of just getting the text? Ideally, if I can get a method for getting the text values of the cell, I'd like to get the multiple rowArray()'s added to a master array and update the program's values later.
EDIT:I also realize that I have two options if I were to create a master array, say mArr, to hold all the data.Would it be better performance-wise to have mArr to be large and the sub arrays small, or mArr to be small and the sub arrays to hold more of the information?I ask because the files that will be imported will have more rows than columns, so I was wondering if there was any "set" way of doing it.
