Source: aspose.
Represents a root object to create an Excel spreadsheet. The Workbook class denotes an Excel spreadsheet. Each spreadsheet can contain multiple worksheets. The basic feature of the class is to open and save native excel files. The class has some advanced features like copying data from other Workbooks, combining two Workbooks, converting Excel to PDF, rendering Excel to image and protecting the Excel spreadsheet.

Parameter

---|---|---|---|
calculate |
boolean |
|
Whether calculates and updates cell values for those dynamic array formulas |
refreshDynamicArrayFormulas(calculate, copts)
Refreshes dynamic array formulas(spill into new range of neighboring cells according to current data) For performance consideration, we do not refresh all dynamic array formulas automatically when the formula itself or the data it references to changed. So user need to call this method manually after those operations which may influence dynamic array formulas, such as importing/setting cell values, inserting/deleting rows/columns/ranges, ...etc. For most formulas with functions, calculating the spill range also needs to calculating the formula, so in general true value for "calculate" flag is preferred. If the formula is simple, such as a range reference or array(for example "=C1:E5", "={1,2;3,4}", ...), simple function on a range or array(for example "=ABS(C1:E5)", "=1+{1,2;3,4}", ...), and all formulas will be calculated later(such as by calculateFormula(com.aspose.cells.CalculationOptions)), then using false vlaue for "calculate" flag may avoid the duplicated calculation for the benefit of performance.

|
Whether calculates and updates cell values for those dynamic array formulas |
copts |
