Table.Range Property

Specifies the cell range that contains the entire table.

Namespace : DevExpress.Spreadsheet

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

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core

Declaration

csharp
CellRange Range { get; set; }
vb
Property Range As CellRange

Property Value

TypeDescription
CellRange

A CellRange object specifying the cell range that contains the entire table.

|

Remarks

The cell range that the Range property returns for a sample table is highlighted in the image below.

To get the cell range that contains table data only (excluding the header and total rows), use the Table.DataRange property. The Table.HeaderRowRange and Table.TotalRowRange properties return cell ranges containing a table’s header row and total row respectively.

To obtain a cell range of an individual table column, use TableColumn.Range or TableColumn.DataRange.

Example

This example demonstrates how to create a table from a range of cells. The sample range includes a list of products and invoice information on each product: price, quantity and discount.

The resulting table will provide an additional column to calculate the amount per product, and an additional row to show the total amount. Follow the steps below:

  1. Create a Table

  2. Format the Table

  3. Table Columns

  4. Table Header Row

  5. Calculated Column

  6. Table Total Row

  7. Total Row Function

  8. Table Ranges and Data Ranges

  9. The image below shows the results.
