[Advanced Excel] Generate Excel with Functions

Hi Guys,

I am generating an Excel file and i am setting the following EXCEL function as a value for Cell_Write action:

"=HYPERLINK(""URL"";""Map Location"")"

Unfortunately, this conversion is not working. When the file is generated the function is not being converted into a function itself and it's considered a string!

I have tried to perform the Worksheet_Calculate but no luck with that.

Is it possible to do this?

Cheers,

Pedro Domingues

Hi,

For the CellType, please use "formula" instead of "function".

It can work for me.

Hi Pedro

Did you perhaps set the CellType parameter to "function"?

Hi Pedro

Just a follow-up - I tried my suggestion and it doesn't work.

I'll have to dig into the details of EPPlus to see if we can make it work.

Hi, Muhammad. 

You need to write "formula" as a string, not just formula like you have on your screenshot.
