Dynamics NAV allows you to “easily” export information to an Excel file, via code, using the Excel Buffer table.<\/p>\n

To export a cell value as a formula, you may add and use the following function to your object:<\/p>\n

LOCAL EnterFormula<\/strong>(RowNo : Integer;ColumnNo : Integer;CellValue : Text[250];Bold : Boolean;UnderLine : Boolean;NumberFormat : Text[30])
\nExcelBuf.INIT;
\nExcelBuf.VALIDATE(“Row No.”,RowNo);
\nExcelBuf.VALIDATE(“Column No.”,ColumnNo);
\nExcelBuf.”Cell Value as Text” := ”;
\nExcelBuf.Formula := CellValue; \/\/ is converted to formula later.
\nExcelBuf.Bold := Bold;
\nExcelBuf.Underline := UnderLine;
\nExcelBuf.NumberFormat := NumberFormat;
\nExcelBuf.INSERT;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For the sake of simplicity, if you want to sum the value of two cells you’ll write the following formula in Excel:<\/p>\n

=SUM(A1:A2)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That will be fine if Excel’s language is English. What if Excel is in Portuguese? Or Dutch? Or if you have different users with different Excel languages?<\/p>\n

Well, there’s a way!<\/p>\n

First, create a new function in Excel Buffer table (T 370) to check the Excel language. The function can be created in your object but it is a good practice to create it in Excel Buffer (or a new object exclusively for this) so that you have the Excel automations\/dotnet dependencies in a single object that you need to compile only once in a while.<\/p>\n

So the function would look like this:<\/p>\n

GetLanguageID()<\/strong> LanguageID : Integer<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

IF NOT CREATE(XlApp2,TRUE,TRUE) THEN
\nERROR(Text000);
\nXlApp2.Visible(FALSE);<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

LanguageID := XlApp2.LanguageSettings.LanguageID(1);
\nXlApp2.Quit;
\nCLEAR(XlApp2);<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

EXIT(LanguageID);<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

XlApp2 is a local variable:<\/p>\n

Name\u00a0\u00a0 DataType \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Subtype\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Length
\nXlApp2 Automation\/Dotnet \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 ‘Microsoft Excel 15.0 Object Library’.Application<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then, in your object you can create a new function to retrieve the correct formula, like this:<\/p>\n

GetSumFormula()<\/strong> : Text[30]<\/p>\n

CASE ExcelLanguageID OF
\n2070:
\nEXIT(‘SOMA’);
\n1043:
\nEXIT(‘SOM’);
\nELSE
\nEXIT(‘SUM’);
\nEND;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And a new function to retrieve and store the ExcelLanguageID, to be used when needed:<\/p>\n

GetExcelLanguageID()<\/strong> : Text[30]<\/p>\n

IF ExcelLanguageID <> 0 THEN
\nEXIT;<\/p>\n

EXIT(ExcelBuf.GetLanguageID);<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ExcelLanguageID is a global variable:<\/p>\n

Name \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 DataType
\nExcelLanguageID \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Integer<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So you’d use the following line of code to add the formula to the field in row 3, column 1:<\/p>\n

EnterFormula(3,1,
\n‘=’ + GetSumFormula + ‘(A1:B1)’,
\nTRUE,FALSE,”);<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Any questions you have, feel free to ask.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
