Description Eike Rathke 2022-08-03 19:05:42 UTC

This macro leads to #NAME? error because the EDATE name is not recognized as it is implemented as an AddIn function and the formula API for XCell::setFormula() for AddIns handles only the PODF programmatic names due to legacy reasons:

> Sub Main
> row=3
> ThisComponent.Sheets.getByIndex(0).getCellByPosition(3,row-1).setFormula("=EDATE($B"&(row)&";$C"&(row)&")")
> End Sub

Using the programmatic name com.sun.star.sheet.addin.Analysis.getEdate instead of EDATE works and yields the expected working =EDATE($B3;$C3) formula:

> Sub Main
> row=3
> ThisComponent.Sheets.getByIndex(0).getCellByPosition(3,row-1).setFormula("=com.sun.star.sheet.addin.Analysis.getEdate($B"&(row)&";$C"&(row)&")")
> End Sub
