Use CopyFromRecordSet to insert named range formulas? (Excel 2000)
 

I am trying to insert a recordset into an Excel worksheet using
CopyFromRecordset. I was hoping for certain cells that my query could simply
insert the text of a named range formula as below:

UPC Calculated Value Of Some Sort
Quantity
Row 00300300303 =GetValueFormula 5

The named range is simply ending up as text in the cell.

Is there any way to do what I'm trying to do?

Thanks.

Hi Wei-Dong,

Thanks for your reply. I would definitely appreciate an answer for why this
is not working.

I have been able to iterate through all the cells in the range in question,
setting the formula for each cell like so:

cellItem.Formula = cellItem.Formula

When I do this, the named formulas are now recognized. But this is a very
time consuming way to get things working. It should simply work to place the
formula name in the cell via CopyFromRecordset I would think.

Hi

Based on my research, when we use the CopyFromRecordset the load the data
from the database to the cell.
e.g.
=SUM(A1:B1)
it will be recongnized as a text but not a fumular.

Based on my knowledge this is by design, because the cell have never
entered the edit mode.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply.

What's odd is the value is still in the Formula property. If after the
CopyFromRecordset statement I iterate over the cells in the range and do the
following, the formula becomes acknowledged:

cellItem.Formula = cellItem.Formula

I find myself why, if the named range statement is already in the Formula
property of the cell like this, it is not acknowledged by the cell.
