Order of Calculation for Functions in Automation Add-In
I have written an Automation Add-In in C# (2005). On my spreadhseet, I
have the result of one volatile function as one of the input params for another volatile function (i.e. MyFunc1 is in cell B2, and B2 is an input param to MyFunc2). The behavior I have noticed is that when I hit F9, The 2nd Function (MyFunc2) tries to execute first and fails since the 1st function (MyFunc1) has not yet been calced and only then does Excel calc the 1st function followed by the 2nd function giving the correct result. This is dissapointing since Excel knows that one is fed to the other and should know to calc that one first. The consequence is that Excel makes an expensive call into the Add-In. It begins to evaluate the second function and only when it hits a line of code in C# which tests if the input is valid does it throw a .NET exception which is expensive. Is there some way to teach Excel the priority, or to force it to be smarter? |
