Formula not applied!

See original GitHub issue

In Excel Viewer C6 cell will not be displayed at all: sheet.getCell("C6").value = {formula:"SUM(C2:C5)"}; But Libre Office (Linux) will display cell and apply formula correctly. If I put it this way it will be displayed in Excel also: sheet.getCell("C6").value = {formula:"SUM(C2:C5)", result: 5}; But in this case result field needs to be calculated programatically instead in Excel. Is it even possible to apply formula to a cell so that Excel makes a calculation?

Setting cell.value.result=undefined is not causing excel to recalculate the formula automatically when I open the output in excel. I’m forced to do Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F9 to recalculate the formula. But, I was able to get the desired behavior by setting cell.model.result=undefined.

Thanks!

I know this issue is closed and I am late to the party, but please allow me to leave my 2c:

this precious, priceless hint should be documented
there should be a method to set a cell as “To recalculate”, to be used if exceljs modifies a cell that should trigger a recalculation
