Specify Formula Fields while Importing Data to Worksheet with C++

Possible Usage Scenarios

You can specify formula fields when you import data into your worksheet using the ImportTableOptions.GetIsFormulas(). This property takes the Boolean array where the value true means the field is a formula field. For example, if the third field is a formula field, then the third value in the array will be true.

Specify Formula Fields while Importing Data to Worksheet

Please see the following sample code that explains how to specify the formula field while importing data to a worksheet. Please see the output Excel file generated by the code and the screenshot showing the effect of the code on the output Excel file.

Sample Code

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <memory>
#include "Aspose.Cells.h"

using namespace Aspose::Cells;
using namespace std;

static U16String outputDir = u"..\\Data\\02_OutputDirectory\\";

class DataItems {
public:
    int Number1;
    int Number2;
    U16String Formula1;
    U16String Formula2;

    DataItems() : Number1(0), Number2(0) {}
};

void Run() {
    vector<DataItems> dis;

    DataItems di;
    di.Number1 = 2002;
    di.Number2 = 3502;
    di.Formula1 = u"=SUM(A2,B2)";
    di.Formula2 = u"=HYPERLINK(\"https://www.aspose.com\",\"Aspose Website\")";
    dis.push_back(di);

    di = DataItems();
    di.Number1 = 2003;
    di.Number2 = 3503;
    di.Formula1 = u"=SUM(A3,B3)";
    di.Formula2 = u"=HYPERLINK(\"https://www.aspose.com\",\"Aspose Website\")";
    dis.push_back(di);

    di = DataItems();
    di.Number1 = 2004;
    di.Number2 = 3504;
    di.Formula1 = u"=SUM(A4,B4)";
    di.Formula2 = u"=HYPERLINK(\"https://www.aspose.com\",\"Aspose Website\")";
    dis.push_back(di);

    di = DataItems();
    di.Number1 = 2005;
    di.Number2 = 3505;
    di.Formula1 = u"=SUM(A5,B5)";
    di.Formula2 = u"=HYPERLINK(\"https://www.aspose.com\",\"Aspose Website\")";
    dis.push_back(di);

    Workbook wb;
    Worksheet ws = wb.GetWorksheets().Get(0);

    for (size_t i = 0; i < dis.size(); ++i) {
        const DataItems& item = dis[i];
        int row = static_cast<int>(i);
        ws.GetCells().Get(row, 0).PutValue(item.Number1);
        ws.GetCells().Get(row, 1).PutValue(item.Number2);
        ws.GetCells().Get(row, 2).SetFormula(item.Formula1);
        ws.GetCells().Get(row, 3).SetFormula(item.Formula2);
    }

    wb.CalculateFormula();
    ws.AutoFitColumns();
    wb.Save(outputDir + u"outputSpecifyFormulaFieldsWhileImportingDataToWorksheet.xlsx");

    cout << "SpecifyFormulaFieldsWhileImportingDataToWorksheet executed successfully." << endl;
}

int main() {
    Aspose::Cells::Startup();
    Run();
    Aspose::Cells::Cleanup();
    return 0;
}
