Creating Custom Names

Custom, user-defined names are identifiers that represent information in the sheet. A custom name can refer to a range of cells or a formula. You can define a custom name and then use the name in formulas. When the formula is evaluated, the custom name's value is referenced and evaluated. Use the SetCustomName method to create a custom name.

Using Code

The following example creates custom names and uses them in formulas.

CS
Copy Code
gcSpreadSheet1.Sheets[0].SetValue(0, 0, 1);
gcSpreadSheet1.Sheets[0].SetValue(0, 1, 2);
gcSpreadSheet1.Sheets[0].SetValue(0, 2, 3);
gcSpreadSheet1.Sheets[0].SetCustomName("customName1", 0, 0, new CalcDoubleExpression(12));
gcSpreadSheet1.Sheets[0].SetCustomName("customName2", 0, 0, "Average(20,45)");
gcSpreadSheet1.Sheets[0].SetCustomName("customName3", 0, 0, 1, 3);
gcSpreadSheet1.Sheets[0].SetFormula(1, 0, "customName1");
gcSpreadSheet1.Sheets[0].SetFormula(1, 1, "customName2");
gcSpreadSheet1.Sheets[0].SetFormula(1, 2, "sum(customName3)");
VB.NET
Copy Code
GcSpreadSheet1.Sheets(0).SetValue(0, 0, 1)
GcSpreadSheet1.Sheets(0).SetValue(0, 1, 2)
GcSpreadSheet1.Sheets(0).SetValue(0, 2, 3)
GcSpreadSheet1.Sheets(0).SetCustomName("customName1", 0, 0, New CalcDoubleExpression(12))
GcSpreadSheet1.Sheets(0).SetCustomName("customName2", 0, 0, "Average(20,45)")
GcSpreadSheet1.Sheets(0).SetCustomName("customName3", 0, 0, 1, 3)
GcSpreadSheet1.Sheets(0).SetFormula(1, 0, "customName1")
GcSpreadSheet1.Sheets(0).SetFormula(1, 1, "customName2")
GcSpreadSheet1.Sheets(0).SetFormula(1, 2, "sum(customName3)")
