Implement Cell.FormulaLocal similar to Excel VBA Range.FormulaLocal

Possible Usage Scenarios

Microsoft Excel Formulas may have different names in different locales or regions or languages. For example, SUM function is called SUMME in German. Aspose.Cells cannot work with non-English function names. In Microsoft Excel VBA, there is* *a *Range.FormulaLocal* property that returns the name of the function as per its language or region. Aspose.Cells also provides Cell.FormulaLocal property for this purpose. However, this property will only work when you will implement GlobalizationSettings.getLocalFunctionName(String standardName) method. 

Implement Cell.FormulaLocal similar to Excel VBA Range.FormulaLocal

The following sample code explains how to implement GlobalizationSettings.getLocalFunctionName(String standardName) method. The method returns the local name of the standard function. If the standard function name is SUM, it returns UserFormulaLocal_SUM. You can change the code as per your needs and return the correct local function names e.g. SUM is SUMME in German and TEXT is ТЕКСТ in Russian. Please also see the console output of the sample code given below for a reference.

Sample Code

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-Java

package AsposeCellsExamples.WorkbookSettings;

import com.aspose.cells.*;
import AsposeCellsExamples.Utils;

public class Implement_Cell_FormulaLocal_SimilarTo_Range_FormulaLocal {
	
	//Implement GlobalizationSettings class
	class GS extends GlobalizationSettings {
	 
		public String getLocalFunctionName(String standardName)
		{
			//Change the SUM function name as per your needs.
			if(standardName.equals("SUM"))
			{
				return "UserFormulaLocal_SUM";				
			}
					
			//Change the AVERAGE function name as per your needs.
			if (standardName.equals("AVERAGE"))
			{
				return "UserFormulaLocal_AVERAGE";
			}
					
			return "";
		}//getLocalFunctionName
	}//GS extends GlobalizationSettings

	public void Run() throws Exception {

		//Create workbook
		Workbook wb = new Workbook();

		//Assign GlobalizationSettings implementation class
		wb.getSettings().setGlobalizationSettings(new GS());

		//Access first worksheet
		Worksheet ws = wb.getWorksheets().get(0);

		//Access some cell
		Cell cell = ws.getCells().get("C4");

		//Assign SUM formula and print its FormulaLocal
		cell.setFormula("SUM(A1:A2)");
		System.out.println("Formula Local: " + cell.getFormulaLocal());

		//Assign AVERAGE formula and print its FormulaLocal
		cell.setFormula("=AVERAGE(B1:B2, B5)");
		System.out.println("Formula Local: " + cell.getFormulaLocal());
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

		System.out.println("Aspose.Cells for Java Version: " + CellsHelper.getVersion());
		
		Implement_Cell_FormulaLocal_SimilarTo_Range_FormulaLocal pg = new Implement_Cell_FormulaLocal_SimilarTo_Range_FormulaLocal();
		pg.Run();

		// Print the message
		System.out.println("Implement_Cell_FormulaLocal_SimilarTo_Range_FormulaLocal executed successfully.");
	}
}

Console Output

 Formula Local: =UserFormulaLocal_SUM(A1:A2)

Formula Local: =UserFormulaLocal_AVERAGE(B1:B2,B5)
