 |
|
Hi all,
How can I call a spreadsheet function from within a user-made function?
For example, I can use =max(0,-12) in the spreadsheet.
but how can I call the max function in a user-made function?
i.e. (look at the end of the card_balance_x function)
| Code: |
function min_pymt_x(prior_bal as single, min_pymt_pct as single)
min_pymt_x = prior_bal * min_pymt_pct
end function
function interest_x(prior_bal as single, card_pct as single)
interest_x = prior_bal * card_pct * (1/12)
end function
function card_balance_x(prior_bal as single, card_pct as single, min_pymt_pct as single, optional extra_pymnt as single)
if IsMissing(extra_pymnt) then
extra_pymnt = 0
end if
s = min_pymt_x(prior_bal, min_pymt_pct)
r = interest_x(prior_bal, card_pct)
bal = prior_bal + CSng(r) - CSng(s) - extra_pymnt
'I want to use max(0,bal) instead of iif
'so, how can I call it?
card_balance_x =iif(bal < 0, 0, bal)
end function
|
Thanks in advance for any replies!
Cheers,
Keith. |

Your response example uses numbers put directly into the macro. What if you want to put cell addesses in the Array? |

You have to put whatever the function expects into the array. If you want to use com.sun.star.sheet.FunctionAccess , and the function expects a data array rather than an array of ranges get the data from the ranges into an array through getdataarray().
There are a limited number of functions that are supported by com.sun.star.sheet.GeneralFunction.XXXX like SUM and MAX and these operate on a group of ranges. |
