Hi,
I am trying to insert a formula to every row, calculating sum of several cells in the same row. By the moment of automatic insertion I will only know columns, while row numbers would be variable, so I need to add something like:

[A0] = [SUM(N0:T0)]
[A1] = [SUM(N1:T1)]

Code: Select all

oSheet.getCellByPosition(myCol, j).formula = "=SUM("N" & j & ":T" & j)"

What's the right syntax?

The code would be like

Code: Select all

oSheet.getCellByPosition(myCol, j).formula = "=SUM(N" & j & ":T" & j & ")"

but j cannot be 0 because cell addresses like N0 are not valid.

Try

Code: Select all

 oSheet.getCellByPosition(myCol, j).setFormula ( "=SUM(N" & j & ":T" & j & ")")

Thanks, this is it (at least the 1st entry).
