{ This demo is a test for recursive calculation of cells. The cell formulas are constructed such that the first cell depends on the second, and the second cell depends on the third one. Only the third cell contains a number. Therefore calculation has to be done recursively until the independent third cell is found. } program demo_recursive_calc; {$mode objfpc}{$H+} uses {$IFDEF UNIX} {$IFDEF UseCThreads} cthreads, {$ENDIF} {$ENDIF} Classes, Math, fpstypes, fpspreadsheet, fpsfunc, xlsbiff8; var workbook: TsWorkbook; worksheet: TsWorksheet; const OutputFile='test_recursive.xls'; begin writeln('Starting program.'); workbook := TsWorkbook.Create; try workbook.Options := workbook.Options + [boCalcBeforeSaving]; worksheet := workbook.AddWorksheet('Calc_test'); worksheet.WriteColWidth(0, 20); // A1 worksheet.WriteUTF8Text(0, 0, '=B2+1'); // B1 worksheet.WriteFormula(0, 1, 'B2+1'); // A2 worksheet.WriteUTF8Text(1, 0, '=B3+1'); // B2 worksheet.WriteFormula(1, 1, 'B3+1'); // A3 worksheet.WriteUTF8Text(2, 0, '(not dependent)'); // B3 worksheet.WriteNumber(2, 1, 1); workbook.WriteToFile(OutputFile, sfExcel8, true); writeln('Finished.'); writeln; writeln('Please open "'+OutputFile+'" in "fpsgrid".'); writeLn('It should show calculation results in cells B1 and B2.'); finally workbook.Free; end; end.
