If you call cell.Value ClosedXML will try to resolve the formula and give you the result.
For example:
var wb = new XLWorkbook();
var ws = wb.AddWorksheet("Sheet1");
ws.Cell("A1").SetValue(1).CellBelow().SetValue(1);
ws.Cell("B1").SetValue(1).CellBelow().SetValue(1);
ws.Cell("C1").FormulaA1 = "\"The total value is: \" & SUM(A1:B2)";
var r = ws.Cell("C1").Value;
Assert.AreEqual("The total value is: 4", r.ToString());
// It also works if you use: ws.Cell("C1").GetString()You can even resolve your own formulas without using cells. For Example:
If you're not referencing a worksheet you can use:
var sum = XLWorkbook.EvaluateExpr("SUM(1,2,3)");
// sum = 6
// SUM(Sheet1!A1:B2) will fail because it doesn't know which workbook to useIf you're not referencing a range without a worksheet you can use:
var sum = workbook.Evaluate("SUM(Sheet1!A1:B2)");
// SUM(A1:B2) will fail because it doesn't know which sheet to useIf you have the worksheet you can evaluate at your heart's content:
var sum = worksheet.Evaluate("SUM(A1:B2)");- Not all formulas are included and you'll probably get a nasty error if the formula isn't supported or if there's an error in the formula. Please test your formulas before going to production.
- I'm adding new formulas all the time but if your formula isn't included please let me know via the Issue Tracker. I'll do my best to include the formula asap.
