4.21 FAQ-380 What is the notation for addressing data in workbooks and matrixbooks?Notation-Workbook-Matrix
Last Update: 10/13/2022
To address a column in the active sheet of the active book, you can use the col() function. To address a specific cell, use [ ] brackets after the col(). For example:
col(LongName) =; // both long name and short name acceptable
col(B)[5] = ; // address a specific cell of a column
And you could also use the cell(i,j) function to address worksheet cells.
The following substitution notation is also supported to address cells:
%([BookName]SheetName, colNum, rowNum)
%([BookName]SheetName, colName, rowName)
In previous versions, we supported the following:
%(wksName, col, row)
Here are some examples:
//The active sheet of book1, column2, row 3
%(book1,2,3) = ;
//Sheet2 of book1, column2 row 3
%([book1]sheet2, 2, 3) = ;
Lastly, you can use the range notation:
For example:
range r1 = [book1]sheet1!col(a);
range r2=[book1]sheet2!col(a);
r2 = r1;
Note: You cannot do the following: [book1]sheet2!col(a) = [book1]sheet1!col(a) . You need to define range object and then do assignment as above.
