Direct calculation of custom function without writing it in a worksheet
Direct calculation of custom function without writing it in a worksheet
Please see the following sample code that illustrates the usage of this method. We have used a custom function named MyCompany.CustomFunction() and we calculate its value as “Aspose.Cells.” by ourselves and then this value is automatically concatenated with the value of cell A1 which is “Welcome to " by the calculation engine and the final calculated value returns as “Welcome to Aspose.Cells.”. As you can see in a code that we have not written our custom function anywhere in a worksheet and it is calculated directly by our own custom logic.
// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-Java | |
public class CustomEngine extends AbstractCalculationEngine | |
{ | |
// Override the Calculate method with custom logic | |
public void calculate(CalculationData data) | |
{ | |
// Check the forumla name and calculate it yourself | |
if (data.getFunctionName().equals("MyCompany.CustomFunction")) | |
{ | |
// This is our calculated value | |
data.setCalculatedValue("Aspose.Cells."); | |
} | |
} | |
} | |
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { | |
// Create a workbook | |
Workbook wb = new Workbook(); | |
// Accesss first worksheet | |
Worksheet ws = wb.getWorksheets().get(0); | |
// Add some text in cell A1 | |
ws.getCells().get("A1").putValue("Welcome to "); | |
// Create a calculation options with custom engine | |
CalculationOptions opts = new CalculationOptions(); | |
opts.setCustomEngine(new CustomEngine()); | |
// This line shows how you can call your own custom function without | |
// a need to write it in any worksheet cell | |
// After the execution of this line, it will return | |
// Welcome to Aspose.Cells. | |
Object ret = ws.calculateFormula("=A1 & MyCompany.CustomFunction()", opts); | |
// Print the calculated value on Console | |
System.out.println("Calculated Value: " + ret.toString()); | |
} |
Console Output
Below is the console output of the above sample code.
Calculated Value: Welcome to Aspose.Cells.
