RE: using ses programatically (was: a ses question)

Dear Andrès,

I attached an updated ses-setq macro.

[https://res.cdn.office.net/assets/mail/file-icon/png/generic_16x16.png]ses.el<https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkDIBBjRAOVwg3PG8zN19RiycfN_>

You can both set values and formulas programmatically. There are 4 switches sv rcv sf and rcf. The …v sitches are for setting values, and the …f switches are for setting formula. The s… switches are for indicating the cell by symbol (e.g. A1) and the rc… switches are for indicating the cell by row col coordinate, (e.g. 0 0 are for A1). Default initial switch is sv. You can change the current switch with the :: argument.

So
   (ses-setq A1 1 :: sf B1 (1+ A1))

will set A1 to 1, and B1 to the formula that adds 1 to A1, so B1 will be 2.

Other examples that do the same job :

   (ses-setq :: rcv 0 0 1 :: sf B1 (1+ A1))
Or
   (ses-setq A1 1 :: rcf 0 1 (1+ A1))

I still need more work to handle properly the safe function stuff in the case of setting formulae.

In the case of smeter you could use the sf / rcf switch to set any formula you like in order to compute the result.

   Vincent.

Hi. Vincent.

Ok.

Fine.

Ok.

Sure. I am thinking a little bit ahead. Why not testing setting formulae
on the fly for doing that final calculation? WDYT?.

Thank for your help.
