I dont think a formal grammar exists but this link should be helpful.

http://ewbi.blogs.com/develops/2004/...formula_p.html

I have also written a more limited parser that parses out functions and
defined names.

What did you want one for?

regards
Charles

I need it for some specific tasks, where a parser will travers all cells (or
specific) and collect some information based on a formula from those cells.

Charles,

I've came up with Excel grammar (took some time though:)).
If u r interesting I can forward u too. Not sure if it covers 100% of Excel
features.

Regards,
Arthur
