Adding formula

Hello!

After running the code below and when I open the file the cell shows =A1+B1. It seems that excel doesn’t understand that it is a formula in B1. What do I do wrong?

var Excel = require('exceljs');

exports.test = function(req, res){
  var workbook = new Excel.Workbook();
  var worksheet = workbook.addWorksheet("Sammanstallning");
  workbook.getWorksheet("Sammanstallning");
  worksheet.getCell("B1").value = '=A1+C1';
  worksheet.getCell("C1").value = 0.14;

  workbook.xlsx.writeFile("korrtermer/test_exceljs.xlsx");
  res.end();
}

That’s because you have assigned it as a text value. To add a formula, you need to assign it like this:

// assuming 0.14 is your calculated result value
worksheet.getCell('B1').value = { formula 'A1+C1', result: 0.14 };

worksheet.getCell('B1').value = { formula 'A1+C1', result: 0.14 };  

Just a fix, worksheet.getCell(‘B1’).value = { formula: ‘A1+C1’, result: 0.14 }; instead worksheet.getCell(‘B1’).value = { formula ‘A1+C1’, result: 0.14 };
