EXACT

public static final Function EXACT

TEXT

public static final Function TEXT

An implementation of the TEXT function
TEXT returns a number value formatted with the given number formatting string. This function is not a complete implementation of the Excel function. This function implements decimal formatting with the Java class DecimalFormat. For date formatting this function uses the SimpleDateFormat class.

Syntax:
TEXT(value, format_text)

FIND

public static final Function FIND

Implementation of the FIND() function.

Syntax:
FIND(find_text, within_text, start_num)

FIND returns the character position of the first (case sensitive) occurrence of find_text inside within_text. The third parameter, start_num, is optional (default=1) and specifies where to start searching from. Character positions are 1-based.

SEARCH

public static final Function SEARCH

Implementation of the FIND() function.

Syntax:
SEARCH(find_text, within_text, start_num)

SEARCH is a case-insensitive version of FIND()

evaluateStringArg

protected static final java.lang.String evaluateStringArg(ValueEval eval,
                                                          int srcRow,
                                                          int srcCol)
                                                   throws EvaluationException

Throws:

EvaluationException

evaluateIntArg

protected static final int evaluateIntArg(ValueEval arg,
                                          int srcCellRow,
                                          int srcCellCol)
                                   throws EvaluationException

Throws:

EvaluationException

evaluateDoubleArg

protected static final double evaluateDoubleArg(ValueEval arg,
                                                int srcCellRow,
                                                int srcCellCol)
                                         throws EvaluationException

Throws:

EvaluationException

evaluate

public final ValueEval evaluate(ValueEval[] args,
                                int srcCellRow,
                                int srcCellCol)

Specified by:

evaluate in interface Function

Parameters:

args - the evaluated function arguments. Empty values are represented with BlankEval or MissingArgEval, never null.

srcCellRow - row index of the cell containing the formula under evaluation

srcCellCol - column index of the cell containing the formula under evaluation

Returns:

The evaluated result, possibly an ErrorEval, never null. Note - Excel uses the error code #NUM! instead of IEEE NaN, so when numeric functions evaluate to Double.NaN be sure to translate the result to ErrorEval.NUM_ERROR.

evaluateFunc

protected abstract ValueEval evaluateFunc(ValueEval[] args,
                                          int srcCellRow,
                                          int srcCellCol)
                                   throws EvaluationException

Throws:

EvaluationException
