Implement Cell.FormulaLocal similar to Excel VBA Range.FormulaLocal with Node.js via C++

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 Range.FormulaLocal property that returns the name of the function as per its language or region. Aspose.Cells for Node.js via C++ also provides Cell.getFormulaLocal() property for this purpose. However, this property will only work when you implement GlobalizationSettings.getLocalFunctionName(standardName) method.

Implement Cell.FormulaLocal similar to Excel VBA Range.FormulaLocal

The following sample code explains how to implement GlobalizationSettings.getLocalFunctionName(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 reference.

Sample Code

const AsposeCells = require("aspose.cells.node");

class GS extends AsposeCells.GlobalizationSettings {
getLocalFunctionName(standardName) {
// Change the SUM function name as per your needs.
if (standardName === "SUM") {
return "UserFormulaLocal_SUM";
}

// Change the AVERAGE function name as per your needs.
if (standardName === "AVERAGE") {
return "UserFormulaLocal_AVERAGE";
}

return "";
}
}

function run() {
// Create workbook
const wb = new AsposeCells.Workbook();

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

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

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

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

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

// Call the run function
run();

Console Output

Formula Local: =UserFormulaLocal_SUM(A1:A2)

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