// Sets the entire Grid cells as FormulaCell. this.gridControl1.BaseStylesMap["Standard"].StyleInfo.CellType = GridCellTypeName.FormulaCell; // Sets the specific cell as FormulaCell. this.gridControl1[5, 5].CellType = GridCellTypeName.FormulaCell; // Sets the specific row as FormulaCell. this.gridControl1.Model.RowStyles[7].CellType = GridCellTypeName.FormulaCell; // Sets the specific column as FormulaCell. this.gridControl1.Model.ColStyles[4].CellType = GridCellTypeName.FormulaCell;
VB:
' Sets the entire Grid cells as FormulaCell.
Me.gridControl1.BaseStylesMap("Standard").StyleInfo.CellType = GridCellTypeName.FormulaCell
' Sets the specific cell as FormulaCell.
Me.gridControl1(5, 5).CellType = GridCellTypeName.FormulaCell
' Sets the specific row as FormulaCell.
Me.gridControl1.Model.RowStyles(7).CellType = GridCellTypeName.FormulaCell
' Sets the specific column as FormulaCell.
Me.gridControl1.Model.ColStyles(4).CellType = GridCellTypeName.FormulaCell

VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,row_index_num,range_lookup)
