Problem with forcing formulas to recalculate

Hi,

I have CellA which contains a formula referencing CellB, while CellB contains another formula. If within my code I try to force all the formulae to recalculate using GridFormulaEngine.RecalculateRange, I still can not get the result for CellA. How would I get the result for CellA in code? I've attached a sample which illustrates this problem when you try to edit cellA3 or cellA4.

The temporary workaround I have is to specifically force a recalculate on CellA only (instead of all the cells), but I would like to just get every cell to recalculate.

Thanks.

Hi Omar,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

I am able to see the issue that you mentioned here. But the issue has been solved by instead of using the FormulaTag , you can use the FormattedText to get the calculated value.

Please refer the below code snippet:


[VB]
Dim result1, result2 As String
Try
result1 = GridControl1.Model(1, 1).FormattedText
If result1 = "" Then result1 = "NULL"
Catch ex As NullReferenceException
result1 = "NULL"
End Try


Here is the modified sample:

Please try this and let me know if this helps.

Thanks for your reply.

Actually, I'm aware of formattedtext but that won't work for me because I have various cell formatting which I didn't show in the sample, and I need the underlying value not the formatted value.

While inefficient, I guess I will just use the workaround I specified above forcing individual cells to calculate.

Is this a bug?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Omar,

This not a bug. We can get the recalculated values through FormattedText property.

Let me know if you have any questions.
