getValue(rowOffset, colOffset)

Gets cell value with given offset from the top-left of this area.

ParameterTypeDescription
rowOffsetNumberrow offset from the start row of this area
colOffsetNumbercolumn offset from the start row of this area

Returns: Object — Object “#REF!” if this area is invalid; “#N/A” if given offset out of this area; Otherwise return the cell value at given position.

getValue(rowOffset, colOffset, calculateFormulas)

Gets cell value with given offset from the top-left of this area.

ParameterTypeDescription
rowOffsetNumberrow offset from the start row of this area
colOffsetNumbercolumn offset from the start row of this area
calculateFormulasbooleanWhether calculate it recursively if the specified reference is formula
