XlFunc Class

Provides static methods used to construct an internal representation of an expression (an IXlFormulaParameter object).

Assembly : DevExpress.Printing.v25.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Printing.Core

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

csharp

public static class XlFunc

Public Module XlFunc

Example

This code snippet creates an IXlFormulaParameter expression from a combination of constants, operators and functions. Constants are transformed into the IXlFormulaParameter objects with the XlFunc.Param method. Operators are static methods of the XlOper object and functions are static methods of the XlFunc object.

When an expression is created, the IXlCell.SetFormula method is used to enter expression into a worksheet cell as the cell formula.
