VP SET VALUE

VP SET VALUE ( rangeObj : Object ; valueObj : Object )

ParameterTypeDescription
rangeObjObject->Range object
valueObjObject->Cell values and format options

Description

The VP SET VALUE command assigns a specified value to a designated cell range.

The command allows you to use a generic code to set and format the types of values in rangeObj, whereas other commands, such as VP SET TEXT VALUE and VP SET NUM VALUE, reduce the values to specific types.

In rangeObj, pass a range of the cell(s) (created for example with VP Cell or VP Column) whose value you want to specify. If rangeObj includes multiple cells, the value specified will be repeated in each cell.

The parameter valueObj is an object that includes properties for the value and the format to assign to rangeObj. It can include the following properties :

PropertyTypeDescription
valueInteger, Real, Boolean, Text, Date, NullValue to assign to rangeObj (except- time). Pass null to erase the content of the cell.
timeRealTime value (in seconds) to assign to rangeObj
formatTextPattern for value/time property. For information on patterns and formatting characters, please refer to the Cell Format paragraph.

Example

//Set the cell value as False
VP SET VALUE(VP Cell("ViewProArea";3;2);New object("value";False))

//Set the cell value as 2
VP SET VALUE(VP Cell("ViewProArea";3;2);New object("value";2))

//Set the cell value as $125,571.35
VP SET VALUE(VP Cell("ViewProArea";3;2);New object("value";125571.35;"format";"_($* #,##0.00_)"))

//Set the cell value as Hello World!
VP SET VALUE(VP Cell("ViewProArea";3;2);New object("value";"Hello World!"))

//Set the cell value as current date
VP SET VALUE(VP Cell("ViewProArea";4;2);New object("value";Current date))

//Set the cell value as current hour
VP SET VALUE(VP Cell("ViewProArea";5;2);New object("time";Current hour))

//Set the cell value as specific date and time
VP SET VALUE(VP Cell("ViewProArea";3;9);New object("value";!2024-12-18!);"time";?14:30:10?;"format";vk pattern full date time))
