TXlsFile Class

This is the FlexCel Native Engine. Use this class to natively read or write an Excel 2 or newer file.

Remarks

Note that most arrays here are 1-based and not 0-based, to follow the convention used on Excel Automation. So, if you are using Delphi, your loops should look like:

  for i := 1 to SomeProperty.Count do

and not

  for i := 0 to SomeProperty.Count - 1 do

If you are using C++, your loops should look like:

for (int i = 1;i <= SomeProperty.Count; i++)

and not

for (int i = 0;i < SomeProperty.Count; i++)

Methods

Name	Description
NewFileStatic	This method creates a new file in without virtual calls, so it can be called from a constructor.
GetFormatString	Returns the numeric format string for a given format index.
GetFormatHorizontal​Align	Returns the horizontal alignment of a cell. Used to improve performance when we don't need the full format.
GetImageReferences	Only for internal testing.
GetListOfValues	This method will return all numeric values in the collection of ranges, and the rest of cells which are not numeric in nonNumericCells. It is for internal use.
AddWindow	Adds a new window to the file. Note that this isn't a new sheet, but another view of the workbook. Most Excel documents have only one window.
DeleteWindow	Deletes a window from the file. Note that this isn't a sheet, but another view of the workbook. Most Excel documents have only one window.
GetBuiltInFormat	Returns one of the 49 built in formats Excel supports. For more information see SetBuiltInFormat
SetBuiltInFormat	Excel has 49 predefined formats which aren't stored in the xls/x file, only the format id is stored. When opening the file in Excel, the cells formatted with those internal formats will be formatted according to the language and version of Excel, not all of them return the same. For example, some Excel versions will display format 38 as "#,##0 ;[Red](#,##0) " (negative numbers in parenthesis) while others will display the same format 38 as "#,##0 _$;[Red]-#,##0 _$" (negative numbers have "-" sign)....[more]
NewFile	Creates a new empty file, with the specified number of sheets.
Open	Overloaded Open(string, TFileFormats, Char, Integer, Integer, TColumnImportTypeArray, TArray<string>, TEncoding, Boolean) Open(TStream, TFileFormats, Char, Integer, Integer, TColumnImportTypeArray, TArray<string>, TEncoding, Boolean)
Import	Overloaded Import(TTextReader, Integer, Integer, Int32Array, TColumnImportTypeArray, TArray<string>) Import(TTextReader, Integer, Integer, Char, Char, TColumnImportTypeArray, TArray<string>)
Save	Overloaded Save(string, TFileFormats, Char, TEncoding) Save(TStream, TFileFormats, Char, TEncoding)
SaveForHashing	This method will save the file in a format that will remain the same if the file is not modified. Normal xls files contain TimeStamp fields that might be modified when the file is downloaded or just copied. While you will not be able to load the file saved, you might use this method to create a hash of a file and compare it to others to know if something changed.
Export	Overloaded Export(TTextWriter, TXlsCellRange, Char, Boolean) Export(TTextWriter, TXlsCellRange, Integer, Int32Array, Boolean, Boolean)
GetSheetIndex	Finds a sheet name on the workbook and returns its index. Depending on the "throwException" parameter, this method will raise an exception or return -1 if the sheet does not exist. To change the active sheet by the name, use TExcelFile.​Active​Sheet​ByName. See also TExcelFile.​Get​Sheet​Name
GetSheetName	Returns the sheet name for a given index. To change the active sheet by the name, use TExcelFile.​Active​Sheet​ByName. See also TExcelFile.​Get​Sheet​Index(​​string)
GetSheetIndexFromID	Returns the ActiveSheet for a stored TExcelFile.SheetID. You can use this method together with TExcelFile.SheetID to save and restore an ActiveSheet when you are adding or removing sheets. If the sheet ID doesn't exist, this method will return 0.
GetSheetVisible	Returns if a given sheet is visible.
AddChartSheet	Adds a chart sheet to the file. You can then add series and customize the returned ExcelChart object. Note that as this is a chart sheet, the anchor is ignored. The ActiveSheet after adding the chart will be set to the newly inserted chart. Important: This method only works in xlsx files.
InsertAndCopySheets	Overloaded InsertAndCopySheets(Int32Array, Integer, TExcelFile) InsertAndCopySheets(Integer, Integer, Integer, TExcelFile)
ClearSheet	Clears all data on the active sheet, but does not delete it.
DeleteSheet	Deletes sheet aSheet and aSheetCount-1 sheets more to the right. It will change all formula references to that sheet to invalid, and might change the active sheet so it remains valid.
GetSheetSelected	Returns true if a sheet is selected, false otherwise. Note that you might select many sheets in Excel by shift or ctrl-clicking the sheet tabs. Also note that when changing the TExcelFile.​Active​Sheet, the sheet selected will be reset to the active sheet. So if you want to find out which sheets are selected in a file, you should call this method after opening the file but before changing the active sheet. This property can work in different windows depending on the value of...[more]
SetSheetSelected	This method will set a sheet tab as selected. Note that this is different from TExcelFile.​Active​Sheet in that you might have only a single active sheet, but you might select many tabs by ctrl-clicking them. Also note that whenever you change the TExcelFile.​Active​Sheet, the selected sheets will be reset to the active sheet only. So if you want to save a file with more than one selected sheet, you should call this method...[more]
GetSheetType	Returns the sheet type for a given sheet.
HasHPageBreak	True if the sheet has a Manual Horizontal page break on the row.
HasVPageBreak	True if the sheet has a Manual Vertical page break on the column.
InsertHPageBreak	Inserts an Horizontal Page Break at the specified row. If there is one already, it will do nothing. If the number of pagebreaks is bigger than the maximum Excel can admit, it will add it anyway, but you might get an exception when saving the file as xls. Exporting as images or PDF will use those additional page breaks. To control what to do when there are too many page breaks, see TExcelFile.​Error​Actions
InsertVPageBreak	Inserts a Vertical Page Break at the specified column. If there is one already, it will do nothing. If the number of pagebreaks is bigger than the maximum Excel can admit, it will add it anyway, but you might get an exception when saving the file as xls. Exporting as images or PDF will use those additional page breaks. To control what to do when there are too many page breaks, see TExcelFile.​Error​Actions
DeleteHPageBreak	Deletes all manual page breaks at row. If there is no manual page break on row, this method will do nothing.
DeleteVPageBreak	Deletes all manual page breaks at col. If there is no manual page break on col, this method will do nothing.
ClearPageBreaks	Deletes all manual page breaks on the active sheet.
KeepRowsTogether	Tells FlexCel that it must try to keep together the rows between row1 and row2 (inclusive) when printing. This method does nothing to the resulting Excel file since this is not an Excel feature. To actually do something, you need to call TExcelFile.​Auto​Page​Breaks after calling this method.
KeepColsTogether	Tells FlexCel that it must try to keep together the columns between col1 and col2 (inclusive) when printing. This method does nothing to the resulting Excel file since this is not an Excel feature. To actually do something, you need to call TExcelFile.​Auto​Page​Breaks after calling this method.
GetKeepRowsTogether	Returns the value of level for a row as set in TExcelFile.​Keep​Rows​Together. Note that the last value of a "keep together" range is 0. For example, if you set KeepRowsTogether(1, 3, 8, true); GetKeepRowsTogether will return 8 for rows 1 and 2, and 0 for row 3.
GetKeepColsTogether	Returns the value of level for a column as set in TExcelFile.​Keep​Cols​Together. Note that the last value of a "keep together" range is 0. For example, if you set KeepColsTogether(1, 3, 8, true); GetKeepColsTogether will return 8 for columns 1 and 2, and 0 for column 3.
HasKeepRowsTogether	Returns true if there is any row marked as keeptogether in the sheet. This method traverses every row to find out, so it can be somehow slow and you should not call it too often.
HasKeepColsTogether	Returns true if there is any column marked as keeptogether in the sheet. This method traverses every column to find out, so it can be somehow slow and you should not call it too often.
DumpKeepRows​Together​Levels	This method is used for debugging intelligent page breaks (see 'Intelligent page breaks' in the Api Developer Guide. It will read the keep-together level for every row ad write it at the column "col". Note that the contents of col will be overwritten.
DumpKeepCols​Together​Levels	This method is used for debugging intelligent page breaks (see 'Intelligent page breaks' in the Api Developer Guide. It will read the keep-together level for every column and writer it the row "row". Note that the contents of row will be overwritten.
AutoPageBreaks	Overloaded AutoPageBreaks(Integer, Integer) AutoPageBreaks(Integer, TUIRectangle)
GetCellValue	Overloaded GetCellValue(Integer, Integer, Integer) GetCellValue(Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer)
GetCellValueIndexed	Reads a Cell Value and Format, using a column index for faster access. Normal GetCellValue(row, col) has to search for the column on a sorted list. If you are looping from 1 to TExcelFile.​Col​Count​InRow(​​Integer) this method is faster.
SetCellValue	Overloaded SetCellValue(Integer, Integer, TCellValue, Integer) SetCellValue(Integer, Integer, string, Integer) SetCellValue(Integer, Integer, TRichString, Integer) SetCellValue(Integer, Integer, TDateTime, Integer) SetCellValue(Integer, Integer, Double, Integer) SetCellValue(Integer, Integer, Single, Integer) SetCellValue(Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer) SetCellValue(Integer, Integer, Int64, Integer) SetCellValue(Integer, Integer, Integer, TCellValue, Integer) SetCellValue(Integer, Integer, Integer, string, Integer) SetCellValue(Integer, Integer, Integer, Double, Integer) SetCellValue(Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer, Integer)

SetCellFromString	Converts a string to the best datatype, and the enters it into a cell.
GetStringFromCell	This method will return a rich string that is formatted similar to the way Excel shows it. For example, if you have "1.0" on a cell, and the cell is formatted as exponential, this method will return "1.0e+1" It might also change the color depending on the value and format. (for example, red for negative numbers) Conditional formats are not applied, you need to call TExcelFile.​Conditionally​Modify​Format(​​TFlx​Format, Integer, Integer, Boolean, IDrawingConditional​Format)...[more]
SetCellFromHtml	Enters an HTML formatted string into a cell, and tries to match the Excel formats with the HTML formatting tags. Note that the rich text inside Excel is more limited than xls (you are limited to only changing font attributes), so many tags from the HTML tags might be ignored. Whenever a tag is not understood or cannot be mapped into Excel, it will just be omitted. For a list of supported tags, see the Remarks section.
GetHtmlFromCell	Returns the contents of formatted cell as HTML. Conditional formats are not applied (unless includeCellFormatting is true): you need to call TExcelFile.​Conditionally​Modify​Format(​​TFlx​Format, Integer, Integer, Boolean, IDrawingConditional​Format) to the cell style to get the cell with cf applied. If...[more]
CopyCell	Copies one cell from one workbook to another. If the cell has a formula, it will be offset so it matches the new destination. Note: You will normally not need this method. To copy a range of cells from a workbook to another use TExcelFile.​Insert​AndCopy​Range(​​TXls​Cell​Range, Integer, Integer, Integer, TFlxInsertMode, TRangeCopyMode, TExcelFile, Integer)...[more]
GetFormat	Returns the format definition for a given format index. Note that this method will only return Cell formats. If you want to read a Style format, use TExcelFile.​Get​Style(​​Integer)
AddFormat	Adds a new format to the Excel format list. If it already exists, it doesn't add a new one, so you can use this method for searching too.
SetFormat	Sets the font definition for a given format index. Normally it is of not use, (you should use AddFont or AddFormat instead) but could be used to change the default format. (using SetFormat(0, fmt); ). This method will change style XFs and CellXfs, depending if aFormat is a StyleXF or a CellXF.
GetFont	Returns the font definition for a given font index.
SetFont	Sets the font definition for a given font index. Normally it is of not use, (you should use AddFont or AddFormat instead) but could be used to change the default font format. (using SetFont(0, font); )
AddFont	Adds a new font to the excel font list. If it already exists, it doesn't add a new one, so you can use this method for searching too.

SetColWidth	Overloaded SetColWidth(Integer, Integer) SetColWidth(Integer, Integer, Integer)
DefaultRowHeight​Visual	The default height for empty rows, in Excel internal units. (1/20th of a point). Different from TExcelFile.​Default​RowHeight this property returns the actual row height as Excel will show it, considering TExcelFile.​Default​RowHidden and TExcelFile.​Default​RowHeight​Automatic. See...[more]
GetRowHidden	Overloaded GetRowHidden(Integer) GetRowHidden(Integer, Integer)
SetRowHidden	Hides or shows an specific row.
GetColHidden	Returns true if the column is hidden.
SetColHidden	Overloaded SetColHidden(Integer, Boolean) SetColHidden(Integer, Integer, Boolean)

SetAutoRowHeight	Sets the current row to automatically autosize to the biggest cell or not.
AutofitRow	Autofits a range of rows so they adapt their height to show all the text inside. Note that due to GDI+ / GDI incompatibilities, the height calculated by FlexCel will not be exactly the same than the one calculated by Excel. So when you open this workbook in Excel, Excel will re calculate the row heights to what it believes is best. You can change this behavior specifying keepHeightAutomatic = false. See also Fine Tuning Row Autofitting
AutofitCol	Autofits a range of columns so they adapt their width to show all the text inside.
AutofitRowsOn​Workbook	Autofits all the rows on all sheets on a workbook that are set to autofit so they adapt their height to show all the text inside. Note that due to GDI+ / GDI incompatibilities, the heights calculated by FlexCel will not be exactly the same than the ones calculated by Excel. So when you open this workbook in Excel, Excel might re calculate the row heights to what it believes is best. You can change this behavior specifying keepSizesAutomatic = false. See also Fine Tuning Row Autofitting
MarkRowForAutofit	Marks a row as candidate for future autofit. Note that this method will NOT change anything on the file. It just "marks" the row so you can use it later with TExcelFile.​Autofit​Marked​Rows​AndCols(​​Boolean, Boolean, Double). To change the actual autofit status on the xls file, use TExcelFile.​Set​Auto​RowHeight...[more]
MarkColForAutofit	Marks a column as candidate for future autofit. Note that this method will NOT change anything on the file. It just "marks" the column so you can use it later with TExcelFile.​Autofit​Marked​Rows​AndCols(​​Boolean, Boolean, Double).
IsRowMarkedFor​Autofit	Returns true is a row is marked for autofit.
IsColMarkedFor​Autofit	Returns true is a column is marked for autofit.

ColFromIndex	Overloaded ColFromIndex(Integer, Integer) ColFromIndex(Integer, Integer, Integer)
ColToIndex	Overloaded ColToIndex(Integer, Integer) ColToIndex(Integer, Integer, Integer)
CopyColFormats	Copies the column definitions, that is formats, widths, hidden/visible, etc from one workbook or sheet to another.
GetColumnBlocks	This method returns a list of blocks of column information, grouped by columns that have the same properties. Since an xlsx file can have 16384 columns, querying every one of them might be slow. With this method, if columns from 5 to 16384 are hidden, you will get a single block with firstCol = 5 and lastCol = 16384 that is hidden. If you used TExcelFile.​Get​ColHidden instead you would have to call it 16384 times to get the same information.
GetColorPalette	Returns a color from the color palette. This method will throw an exception if its "index" parameter is bigger than TExcelFile.​Color​Palette​Count, (for example, for an automatic color). To get the real color, use TExcelFile.​Get​Color​Palette(​​Integer, TUIColor)
SetColorPalette	Changes a color on the Excel color palette.
NearestColorIndex	Overloaded NearestColorIndex(TUIColor) NearestColorIndex(TUIColor, BooleanArray)
PaletteContainsColor	Returns true if the internal color palette contains the exact specified color. Note that Excel 2007 doesn't use the color palette, so this method is not needed there.
OptimizeColorPalette	Changes the colors in the color palette so they can represent better the colors in use. This method will change the colors not used in the palette by colors used in the sheet. If there are more unique colors in the sheet than the 56 available in the palette, only the first colors will be changed. When FlexCel saves an xls file, it saves the color information twice: The real color for Excel 2007 and newer, and the indexed color for older Excel versions. This method optimizes the palette of indexed colors so they look better in Excel 2003 or older. It doesn't effect Excel 2007 or newer at all.
GetColorPalette​Version	Internal use. Every time the palette changes, the number returned is incremented.
GetColorTheme	Overloaded GetColorTheme(TThemeColor) GetColorTheme(TPrimaryThemeColor)
SetColorTheme	Overloaded SetColorTheme(TThemeColor, TDrawingColor) SetColorTheme(TPrimaryThemeColor, TDrawingColor)
NearestColorTheme	Returns the most similar entry on the theme palette for a given color.
GetThemeFont	Gets the major of minor font scheme in the theme.
SetThemeFont	Sets either the minor or the major font for the theme.
GetTheme	This is an advanced method, that allows you to get the full theme in use. Normally you will just want to replace colors, and you can do this with TExcelFile.​Set​Color​Theme(​​TPrimary​Theme​Color, TDrawingColor) and TExcelFile.​Get​Color​Theme(​​TPrimary​Theme​Color)...[more]
GetThemeNoClone	Internal use. This won't clone the internal structure for more performance.
SetTheme	This is an advanced method, that allows you to set the full theme in use. Normally you will just want to replace colors, and you can do this with TExcelFile.​Set​Color​Theme(​​TPrimary​Theme​Color, TDrawingColor) and TExcelFile.​Get​Color​Theme(​​TPrimary​Theme​Color)...[more]
GetNamedRange	Overloaded GetNamedRange(Integer) GetNamedRange(string, Integer) GetNamedRange(string, Integer, Integer)
FindNamedRange	Returns the index (1 based) on the list of named ranges for a given name and local sheet. If the range is not found, this method will return -1 You could use TExcelFile.​Get​Named​Range(​​Integer) to get the name definition, or directly call TExcelFile.​Get​Named​Range(​​string, Integer, Integer)...[more]
SetNamedRange	Overloaded SetNamedRange(TXlsNamedRange) SetNamedRange(Integer, TXlsNamedRange)
DeleteNamedRange	Deletes the name at the specified position. Important: If the name you are trying to delete is referenced by any formula/​chart/​whatever in your file, the name will not actually be deleted but hidden. You won't see the name in Excel or in the formula, but it will be there and you can see it from FlexCel. You can use TExcelFile.​Get​Used​Named​Ranges to learn if a range might be deleted. Also, note that if you later delete the formulas that reference those ranges FlexCel will remove those hanging ranges when saving....[more]
GetUsedNamedRanges	Returns an array of booleans where each value indicates if the name at position "i-1" is used by any formula, chart, or object in the file. If the name is in use, it can't be deleted. Note that the index here is Zero-based, different from all other Name indexes in FlexCel, because arrays in C# are always 0-based. So UsedRange[0] corresponds to GetNamedRange(1) and so on.
CopyToClipboard​Format	Copies a range on the active sheet to a clipboard stream, on the specified format.
PasteFromText​Clipboard​Format	Pastes the clipboard contents beginning on cells row, col.
PasteFromXls​Clipboard​Format	Pastes the clipboard contents beginning on cells row, col, with the option to convert formulas to their values.
GetPageHeader​AndFooter	This method will return all the headers and footers in a sheet.
SetPageHeader​AndFooter	This method will set all the headers and footers in a sheet. If you want a simple header or footer for all the pages, you might want to use TExcelFile.​Page​Header and TExcelFile.​Page​Footer
FillPageHeader​OrFooter	Given a Page Header or footer string including macros (like [FileName] or [PageNo]), this method will return the strings that go into the left, right and middle sections.
GetPageHeader​OrFooter​AsHtml	Converts a section of a page header or footer into an HTML string.
GetHeaderOrFooter​Image	This method returns the images associated to a given section of the header or footer. There can be only one image per section, and you refer it from the header string (see TExcelFile.​Page​Header and TExcelFile.​Page​Footer) by writing &G. NOTE THAT YOU CAN ONLY USE HEADER AND FOOTER GRAPHICS ON EXCEL XP AND NEWER. Excel 2000 and 97 will still open the file, but they will show no graphics.
GetHeaderOrFooter​Image​Properties	Returns the image position and size.
SetHeaderOrFooter​Image	This method sets the image associated to a given section of the header or footer. There can be only one image per section, and you refer it from the header string (see TExcelFile.​Page​Header and TExcelFile.​Page​Footer) by writing &G. NOTE THAT YOU CAN ONLY USE HEADER AND FOOTER GRAPHICS ON EXCEL XP AND NEWER. Excel 2000 and 97 will still open the file, but they will show no graphics. ALSO, NOTE that only setting the image will not display it. You need to write &G in the corresponding...[more]
GetPrintMargins	Gets the Margins on the active sheet.
SetPrintMargins	Sets the Margins on the active sheet.
GetPrinterDriver​Settings	Returns printer driver settings. This method is not intended to be used alone, but together with TExcelFile.​Set​Printer​Driver​Settings to copy printer driver information from a file to another.
SetPrinterDriver​Settings	Sets printer driver information. This method is not intended to be used alone, but together with TExcelFile.​Get​Printer​Driver​Settings to copy printer driver information from a file to another.
SetImage	Sets the image data and / or image properties of an existing image. Note that for SVG images, xlsx files store both a PNG and SVG image. To enter a SVG image, use TExcelFile.​Set​Image​Alternate
SetImageAlternate	Sets the image data and / or image properties of an existing image. Currently this method is only needed for SVG images, since SVG images are stored as both PNG and SVG inside the xlsx file. This method allows you to supply both images.
SetImageProperties	Sets the image properties of an existing image.
GetImageName	Returns the image name at position imageIndex.
HasImageAlternate	Returns true if the image has an alternate representation. This currently happens only with SVG images, which have a PNG base and a SVG alternate. If the image has an alternate, you can get the data with TExcelFile.​Get​Image​Alternate
GetImageProperties	Returns image position and size.
AddImage	Adds an image to the active sheet. Note that for SVG images, xlsx files store both a PNG and SVG image. To enter a SVG image, use TExcelFile.​Add​Image​Alternate
AddImageAlternate	Adds an image to the active sheet. Currently this method is only needed for SVG images, since SVG images are stored as both PNG and SVG inside the xlsx file. This method allows you to supply both images.
DeleteImage	Deletes the image at position imageIndex.
ClearImage	Clears the image at position imageIndex, leaving an empty white box.
SetSheetBackground	Sets the sheet background for the active sheet. Set it to null to remove the background.
GetSheetBackground	Gets the sheet background for the active sheet. It will return null if there isn't any background in the sheet.
ImageIndexTo​Object​Index	Returns the general index on the object list for an image. You can use then this index on SendToBack, for example. Note that if the image is in a group, this method will return the first object index for the group that contains the image. If you want to get the object path to the image instead, look at TExcelFile.​Image​Index​ToObject​Path
ObjectIndexTo​Image​Index	Returns the index on the image collection of an object. Note that this method is slow when there are many images, so use it sparingly.
ImageIndexTo​Object​Path	Returns the absolute object path for an image, given an image index. Note that this method can be slow if there are many objects in the file. Whenever possible, prefer the methods that take directly an imageIndex instead of converting the imageIndex to an objectPath.
ObjectPathTo​Image​Index	Returns the index on the image collection of an object. Note that this method is slow when there are many images, so use it sparingly. Whenever possible, prefer the methods that take directly an objectPath instead of converting the objectPath to an imageIndex.
GetObjectName	Returns the name of the object at objectIndex position.
GetObjectShapeId	Returns the shape id of the object at objectIndex position. Shape Ids are internal identifiers for the shape, that you can use to uniquely identify a shape. Note that the shape id can change when you load the file, once it is loaded, it will remain the same for the shape lifetime.
FindObjectPath	Finds an object by its name, and returns the ObjectPath you need to use this object. Note that if there is more than an object with the same name in the sheet, this method will return null.
FindObjectByShapeId	Finds an object given its internal shape id, and returns the object index you need to access the same object in FlexCel.
GetObjectAnchor	Returns the placement of the object.
SetObjectAnchor	Sets the object placement.
GetObjectProperties	Returns information on an object and all of its children. If the shape doesn't exist, this method returns null.
GetObjectProperties​ByShapeId	Returns information on an object and all of its children and parents. Note: This method always returns a top level object. If you ask for a shape id of a shape that is contained inside other group, this method will return the first level group containing other groups that contain the shape. Note 2:This method is mostly for internal use. Shape ids are not guaranteed to be preserved when saving and reloading a file, so this method should only be used while editing the file with shape ids retrieved from the XlsFile object, not hardcoded shape ids. To get the object properties for a known shape in a file, give it a name and call...[more]

AddAutoShape	Adds an autoshape to the sheet. You can add shapes to a worksheet, or to a chart sheet. For an example on how to add a shape, please create a shape in Excel, then open the file wiht APIMate and look at the generated code.
DeleteObject	Deletes the graphic object at objectIndex. Use it with care, there are some graphics objects you don't want to remove (like comment boxes when you don't delete the associated comment.)
GetObjectsInRange	Returns a list with all the objects that are completely inside a range of cells.
GetObjectLinkedCell	Returns the cell that is linked to the object. If the object isn't an object that can be linked or it isn't linked, this method will return null. Note that when you change the value in the cell linked to this object, the value of the object will change. The sheet returned in the TCellAddress might be null, in which case the reference is to a cell in the same sheet, or it might contain another sheet name. Also note that this applies to form objects. To get the link of a shape like a circle or rectangle, use...[more]
GetShapeLinkedCell	Returns the cell that is linked to the shape or image. If the object isn't linked, this method will return null. Note that when you change the value in the cell linked to this object, the value of the object will change. Also note that this method applies to shapes like a rectangle or circle, or an image. To get the link of a forms object like a combobox or a radiobutton use TExcelFile.​Get​Object​Linked​Cell instead.
SetObjectLinkedCell	Links the object to a cell, if the object can be linked. If the object is a radio button then all the other radio buttons in the group will be linked to the same cell, so when the cell changes the radio buttons too, and vice-versa. To unlink the cell, make linkedCell null.
SetShapeLinkedCell	Links the shape or image to a cell, if the shape can be linked. To unlink the cell, make linkedCell null. Note that this method applies to shapes like a rectangle or circle, or images. To change the link of a forms object like a combobox or a radiobutton use TExcelFile.​Set​Object​Linked​Cell instead.
GetObjectInputRange	Returns the input range for the object. If the object isn't a combobox or listbox, or it doesn't have an input range, this method will return null. Note that when you change the value in the cell linked to this object, the value of the object will change. The sheet in the TCellAddresses returned might be null, in which case the reference is to a cell in the same sheet, or it might contain another sheet name.
SetObjectInputRange	Sets the input range for a ListBox or a ComboBox. When applied to other objects, this method does nothing.
GetObjectMacro	Returns the macro associated with an object, or null if there is no macro associated.
SetObjectMacro	Associates an object with a macro. While this will normally be used in buttons, you can associate macros to almost any object.
GetCheckboxState	Gets the value of a checkbox in the active sheet. Note that this only works for checkboxes added through the Forms toolbar. It won't return the values of ActiveX checkboxes.
SetCheckboxState	Sets the value of a checkbox in the active sheet. Note that this only works for checkboxes added through the Forms toolbar. It won't return the values of ActiveX checkboxes.

GetObjectSelection	Gets the selected item in an object from the "Forms" palette. It can be a combobox or a listbox. 0 means no selection, 1 the first item in the list. Note that this only works for objects added through the Forms toolbar. It won't return the values of ActiveX objects.
SetObjectSelection	Sets the selected item of an object from the "Forms" palette. It can be a combobox, a listbox, a spinbox or a scrollbar. Note that this only works for objects added through the Forms toolbar. It won't return the values of ActiveX objects.
GetObjectSpin​Properties	Returns maximum, minimum and increment in any control that has a spin or dropdown, like a listbox, combobox, spinner or scrollbar.
SetObjectSpin​Properties	Sets the spin properties of an object. You should apply this only to scrollbars and spinners.
GetObjectSpinValue	Returns the current selected value of a scrollbar.

RenderObject	This method renders any object (chart, image, autoshape, etc) into an image, and returns it.
RenderCells	This method renders a range of cells into an image, and returns it. No objects will be drawn on the cells, you can use TExcelFile.​Render​Object(​​Integer) to draw those. Important note: By default this method will only render the text inside the cell, not the borders or cell fills or anything else. If you want to export an xls file to images, you need to set the parameter "exportObjects" to true, or use...[more]
CellRangeDimensions	Returns the height and width that would be used by a range of cells (in Points, or 1/72 inches).
RenderObjectAsSVG	Overloaded RenderObjectAsSVG(Integer, Double, IShapeProperties, TUIColor, TSVGExportType, string, string, string, TArray<TSVGAttribute>, TEncoding, Boolean, TUIPointF, TUIRectangle) RenderObjectAsSVG(TStream, Integer, Double, IShapeProperties, TUIColor, TSVGExportType, string, string, string, TArray<TSVGAttribute>, TEncoding, Boolean, TUIPointF, TUIRectangle)
SendToBack	Sends the graphical object to the bottom layer on the display (z-order) position. It will show below and will be covered by all other objects on the sheet.
BringToFront	Sends the graphical object to the top layer on the display (z-order) position. It will show above and will cover all other objects on the sheet.
SendForward	Sends the graphical object one layer up on the display (z-order) position. It will show above and will cover the image at objectIndex+1.

SetCommentProperties	Sets the popup placement for an existing comment. If there is not a comment on cell (row,col), this will create an empty one.
LightClone	Returns a copy of this ExcelFile object with the same backing data, so the cells in both objects are the same. Using a light clone allows you to read from a single ExcelFile in two different threads, since while the data is the same (so you don't use twice the memory as a real clone would), you can have separate activesheets in both. So one thread can be reading from the "original" file with ActiveSheet = 1, and the other thread could be reading from the light clone with activeSheet = 3. ...[more]
InsertAndCopyRange	Inserts and/or copies a range of cells from one place to another. This method is one of the most important on FlexCel API, and it allows you to copy ranges of cells from one place to another, adapting the formulas, images and everything as Excel would do it.
DeleteRange	Overloaded DeleteRange(TXlsCellRange, TFlxInsertMode) DeleteRange(Integer, Integer, TXlsCellRange, TFlxInsertMode, Boolean)
MoveRange	Moves a range of cells, the same way Excel does it. All references pointing to the old range will be relocated to the new, and all existing references to the new range will be relocated to #ref.
ClearDataValidation	Overloaded ClearDataValidation ClearDataValidation(TXlsCellRange)
AddDataValidation	Adds a new Data Validation to a specified range.
GetDataValidation	Returns the validation information for an specific cell. If the cell has no Data Validation associated, this method returns null.

SetHyperLink	Modifies an existing Hyperlink. Use TExcelFile.​Add​Hyper​Link to add a new one.
GetHyperLink​Cell​Range	Returns the cell range a hyperlink refers to.
SetHyperLink​Cell​Range	Changes the cells an hyperlink is linked to.
AddHyperLink	Adds a new hyperlink to the Active sheet. Use TExcelFile.​Set​Hyper​Link to modify an existing one.
DeleteHyperLink	Deletes an existing hyperlink.
LoopHyperLinks	Loops over the list of existing hyperlinks in the active sheet which are at least partially contained in range, and executes action for each one of those links. This can be faster than looping over all hyperlinks in a page if you have thousands, since this method uses spatial indexing.
GetRowOutlineLevel	Returns the Outline level for a row.
SetRowOutlineLevel	Sets the Outline level for a row range.
GetColOutlineLevel	Returns the Outline level for a column.
SetColOutlineLevel	Sets the Outline level for a column range.
CollapseOutlineRows	Collapses or expands the row outlines in a sheet to the specified level. It is equivalent to pressing the numbers at the top of the outline gutter in Excel.
CollapseOutlineCols	Collapses or expands the column outlines in a sheet to the specified level. It is equivalent to pressing the numbers at the top of the outline gutter in Excel.
IsOutlineNodeRow	Returns true when the row is the one that is used for collapsing an outline. (it has a "+" at the left).
IsOutlineNodeCol	Returns true when the column is the one that is used for collapsing an outline. (it has a "+" at the top).
IsOutlineNode​CollapsedRow	Returns true when the row is an outline node (it has a "+" at the left) and it is closed (all children are hidden).
IsOutlineNode​CollapsedCol	Returns true when the column is an outline node (it has a "+" at the top) and it is closed (all children are hidden).
CollapseOutline​NodeRow	Use this method to collapse a node of the outline. If the row is not a node (TExcelFile.​IsOutline​NodeRow is false) this method does nothing. While this method allows a better control of the rows expanded and collapsed, you will normally use TExcelFile.​Collapse​Outline​Rows(​​Integer, TCollapseChildren​Mode)...[more]
CollapseOutline​NodeCol	Use this method to collapse a node of the outline. If the column is not a node (TExcelFile.​IsOutline​NodeCol is false) this method does nothing. While this method allows a better control of the columns expanded and collapsed, you will normally use TExcelFile.​Collapse​Outline​Cols(​​Integer, TCollapseChildren​Mode)...[more]
SubtotalDefault​English​String	Returns the english string that Excel uses to refer to Sums, averages, et. when you use the Subtotal command. You can use the result of this method together with TExcelFile.Subtotal to specify the text for totals.
Subtotal	This method works like the "Subtotal" command in Excel in the "Data" tab of the ribbon. It will take a number of cells and group them by similar values, adding a subtotal formula every new different value and a grand total at the end. It will also add outlines at the right.
SelectCells	Selects a group of cells on a given pane. If you just want to select just one cell, you can use the simpler method TExcelFile.​Select​Cell This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
GetSelectedCells	Returns the selected ranges on a sheet. This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
ScrollWindow	Scrolls the window to an specified place. This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
GetWindowScroll	Returns the window scroll for a specified pane. This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
FreezePanes	This command is equivalent to Menu-​>Window-​>Freeze Panes. It will freeze the rows and columns above and to the left from cell. Note that because Excel works this way, when you TExcelFile.​Split​Window the panes are suppressed and vice-versa See also TExcelFile.​Get​Frozen​Panes This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
GetFrozenPanes	Returns the cell that is freezing the window, "A1" if no panes are frozen. See also TExcelFile.​Freeze​Panes This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
SplitWindow	This command is equivalent to Menu-​>Window-​>Split. It will split the window in 4 regions. Note that because Excel works this way, when you TExcelFile.​Freeze​Panes the windows are unsplitted and vice-versa See also TExcelFile.​Get​Split​Window This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
GetSplitWindow	Returns the horizontal and vertical offsets for the split windows. Zero means no split. See also TExcelFile.​Split​Window This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
GetDataConnections	Returns the data connections in the file. Use TExcelFile.​Set​Data​Connections to change the connections in the file.
SetDataConnections	Sets the data connections in the file.
GetChart	Returns a chart from an object position and path. If the object does not contain a chart, it returns null. Note that charts can be first-level objects (in chart sheets), or they can be embedded inside other objects, that can be themselves embedded inside other objects. So you need to recursively look inside all objects to see if there are charts anywhere. Look at the example in this topic to see how to get all charts in a sheet.
AddChart	This method will add a chart to the active sheet. You can then add series and customize the returned ExcelChart object. Important: This method only works in xlsx files.
Find	Finds a value inside a cell and returns the position for the cell, or null if nothing was found.
Replace	Replaces the instances of oldValue by newValue in the active sheet, and allows to specify the cell format and value for every replaced cell.
Sort	Sorts a range on the current sheet.
SetAutoFilter	Sets the AutoFilter in the Active sheet to point to the range specified.
RemoveAutoFilter	Removes the AutoFilter from the active sheet. If there is no AutoFilter in the sheet, this method does nothing.
HasAutoFilter	Overloaded HasAutoFilter HasAutoFilter(Integer, Integer)
GetAutoFilterRange	Returns the range of cells with AutoFilter in the Active sheet, or null if there is not AutoFilter. The "Bottom" coordinate of the returned range has no meaning, only Top, left and right are used. (since AutoFilters only have one row).
Recalc	When TExcelFile.​Recalc​Mode is manual, use this method to force a recalculation of the spreadsheet.
RecalcAndVerify	Use this method to validate a file. FlexCel does not support all the range of functions from Excel when recalculating, so unknown functions will return "#NAME!" errors. Using this function you can validate your user worksheets and see if all the formulas they use are supported.
RecalcCell	This method will recalculate a single cell and all of it's dependencies, but not the whole workbook. USE THIS METHOD WITH CARE! You will normally want to simply call TExcelFile.Recalc or just save the file and let FlexCel calculate the workbook for you. This method is for rare situations where you are making thousands of recalculations and the speed of Recalc is not enough, and you have a big part of the spreadsheet that you know that didn't change....[more]
StartBatchRecalc​Cells	This method tells FlexCel that you are going to call multiple times TExcelFile.​Recalc​Cell without changing any data in the spreadsheet. This way, FlexCel won't keep recalculating the same supporting cells each time you call RecalcCells. Always match this call with a call to TExcelFile.​End​Batch​Recalc​Cells.
EndBatchRecalcCells	This method ends the batch started by TExcelFile.​Start​Batch​Recalc​Cells and goes back to normal mode.
RecalcExpression	Calculates the value of any formula and returns the result. The expression must be a valid Excel formula, it must start with "=", and cell references that don't specify a sheet (like for example "=A2") will refer to the active sheet. Cells used by the formula will be recalculated as needed too. You can use this method as a simple calculator, or to calculate things like the sum of a range of cells in the spreadsheet. Look at the example for more information on how to use it. Note that we will consider the expression to be located in the cell A1 of the Active sheet. So for example "=ROW()" will return 1, and "=A2" will return the value of A2 in the active sheet.
RecalcRange	This method recalculates a formula that returns a range, and returns the cells that compose it. Note that normally ranges are a single rectangle (like in "=A1:B2"), and in this case this method will return a single element in the array. But you might have a formula like "=A1:A10, C6:C7" which will return two different ranges. In this case, the returned array will have more than one TCellAddressRange. If the formula doesn't resolve to a range or group of ranges, this method will return null.
OffsetRelative​Formula	Use this method to know the actual formula that applies to a cell when the formula is relative. In some places, mostly data validations and names, Excel returns relative formulas. So for example you might have a name with a definition of "=Sheet1!A2" when you are positioned at cell A1. If you now move the cursor to cell A2 in Excel, the name definition will be "=Sheet1!A3" since the reference is relative to the cell where the cursor is. If you retrieve the name formula with FlexCel, as FlexCel doesn't have a cursor, it will always return the canonical formula as if you were positioned at A1. If you want to know the real formula when you are positioned at A2, you need to call this method with cellRow =3, cellCol = 1 and expression = "=Sheet1!A2". It will return "=Sheet1!A3".
RecalcRelative​Formula	Use this method to know the value of a formula that applies to a cell when the formula is relative. In some places, mostly data validations and names, Excel returns relative formulas. So for example you might have a name with a definition of "=Sheet1!A2" when you are positioned at cell A1. If you now move the cursor to cell A2 in Excel, the name definition will be "=Sheet1!A3" since the reference is relative to the cell where the cursor is. If you use TExcelFile.​Recalc​Expression(​​string)...[more]
GetWhatIfTableList	Returns a list of the upper cells of the What-if tables in the page. You can then use TExcelFile.​Get​What​IfTable to get the definition of each one.
GetWhatIfTable	Returns the range of cells that make the what-if table that starts at aRow and aCol. If there is no What-if table at aRow, aCol, this method returns null. If both the returned rowInputCell and colInputCell are null, this means this table points to deleted references.
SetWhatIfTable	Creates an Excel What-if table in the range of cells specified by Range. Calling this method is the same as setting a cell value with a TFormula where TFormula.Span has more than one cell, and TFormula.Text is something like "{​=TABLE(​,A4)​}​". The parameters for the =TABLE function are rowInputCell and colInputCell, and they look the same a Excel will show them.
GetLink	Gets the external link at position i.
SetLink	Changes the external link at position i for a new value. Note that you can't add new links with this method, external links are added automatically when you add formulas that reference other worksheets. This method is only to change existing links to point to other place. All formulas pointing to the old link will point to the new. Note that the replacing filename should have the same sheets as the original, or the formulas might break.
ConvertFormulas​ToValues	Use it to convert formulas to their values. It can be useful if for example you are copying the sheet to another workbook, and you don't want any references to it. NOTE: You will probably want to use TExcelFile.​Convert​External​Names​ToRef​Errors(​​Boolean) too, to convert named ranges besides the formulas. Also note that if you want to convert a whole file, you need to call ConvertFormulas​ToValues in every sheet.
ConvertExternal​Names​ToRef​Errors	Use it to convert the external names in a sheet to #REF! . It can be useful when you need to remove all external links in a file. NOTE: You will probably want to use TExcelFile.​Convert​Formulas​ToValues(​​Boolean) too.
GetCachedFont0	This method is used by FlexCel itself, you shouldn't call it directly.
SetCachedFont0	This method is used by FlexCel itself, you shouldn't call it directly.
AddUserDefined​Function	Adds a custom formula function to the FlexCel recalculation engine. Note that this formulas are only valid for Excel custom formulas, not for internal ones. For example, you could define "EDATE" since it is a custom formula defined in the Analysis Addin, but you cannot redefine "SUM". Note that if a custom formula with the name already exists, it will be replaced. Names are Case insensitive ("Date" is the same as "DATE"). Also note that some user defined functions come already built in FlexCel, so you might not need to define them. For more information on adding Custom Formulas make sure you read...[more]
ClearUserDefined​Functions	Removes all the custom formula functions from the FlexCel recalculation engine.
RemoveUserDefined​Function	Removes a single function from the FlexCel recalculation engine. If the function doesn't exist, this method will return false.
EvaluateUser​Defined​Function	Evaluates a custom function you have added earlier with TExcelFile.​Add​User​Defined​Function. You will not normally need to call this method, but it could be used for testing. If the function has not been added with TExcelFile.​Add​User​Defined​Function, this method will return TFlxFormulaError​Value.​Err​Name...[more]
IsDefinedFunction	Returns true if the Custom formula function has been added to the FlexCel recalculating engine. Note that internal functions are not returned by this method, but user defined functions pre-defined in FlexCel will be.
RemoveMacros	If the file has macros, this method will remove them.
HasMacros	Returns true if the file has any macros.
IsSharedWorkbook	Returns true is this is a shared workbook. This method only will return true for xls files, since FlexCel doesn't load tracking changes in xlsx files.
UnshareWorkbook	Removes the "track changes" information of the workbook and unshares the workbook. This is only needed for xls files, as FlexCel doesn't save tracking changes in xlsx files, and the feature is deprecated in Excel.
HasWebAddinTaskPanes	Returns true if the file has any task pane web add-in. Note that this only applies to task pane addins. The content addins are just objects in the sheet.
RemoveWebAddin​Task​Panes	Removes all task pane web add-ins from the file. Note that this will only remove the task pane addins. You can remove the content addins by removing the corresponding objects in the sheet with TExcelFile.​Delete​Object(​​Integer)
GetCustomTableStyle	Overloaded GetCustomTableStyle(string) GetCustomTableStyle(Integer)
HasCustomTableStyle	Returns true if the workbook has a custom table style with name "name".
SetCustomTableStyle	Adds a new or replaces an existing table style.
RenameCustom​Table​Style	Renames an existing custom table style. Note that this method won't change the table styles from existing tables from oldName to newName. So after renaming a table style, you should loop in all the tables in the workbook which use that table style, and manually rename their custom table styles too.
DeleteCustom​Table​Style	Overloaded DeleteCustomTableStyle(Integer) DeleteCustomTableStyle(string)
DeleteAllCustom​Table​Styles​InWorkbook	Deletes all custom table styles in the workbook.
GetTable	Overloaded GetTable(Integer) GetTable(string)
GetTableSheet	Returns the sheet number of the table, or raises an exception if the table doesn't exist.
HasTable	Returns true if the table exists in the file.
GetTableName	If there is a table in the cell at (row, col) then this method will return the name of the table. If not it will return an empty string.
GetTableAtCell	If there is a table in the cell at (row, col) then this method will return the table definition. If not it will return null.
AddTable	Adds a table to the active sheet.
SetTable	Changes an existing table. The table to change is given by the table name in aTable. Note that this method won't change the name of the table. To do so, you need to call TExcelFile.​Rename​Table
RenameTable	Renames an existing table to a new name, renaming also all references to that table. Note that the final name of the table might not be the name you specified in newName, if newName already existed. You need to check the result of this method to know the actual name which the table was renamed to.
DeleteTable	Deletes a table from the workbook, based on its name. Note that the table might not be in the active sheet. Note also that this will only delete the table itself, but not the data inside.
DeleteAllTables​InSheet	Removes all the tables in the active sheet. The contents are not removed, only the table itself.
PivotTableCount​InSheet	Returns the number of pivot tables in the active sheet.
AddCustomXmlPart	Adds a custom XML part to the file, as described in https:​//​msdn.​microsoft.​com/​en-​us/​library/​bb608618.​aspx
GetCustomXmlPart	Returns the part at the given position. (1 based)
RemoveCustomXmlPart	Deletes the part at the given position. ( 1 based)
SetXmlMap	Sets the XML Maps in the file. This is equivalent to going to the "Developer" tab in Excel and then clicking in Source in the XML section. Set it to null to remove the XML Maps in the file.
GetXmlMap	Returns the XML Maps in the file if it has any, or null if there are no XML Maps. Note that the map returned is a copy, so modifying it won't modify the map in the file. To modify the map in the file you need to get it with TExcelFile.GetXmlMap, modify it, then set it with TExcelFile.SetXmlMap
GetFormulaTokens	Returns the formula of a cell as an RPN list of tokens that you can use to analyze it. If the cell doesn't have a formula, then this method will return null. Note that the result is an RPN expression, so for example the formula "= 1 * 2 + 3" would be returned as "1, 2, *, 3, +". While the formula "= 1 * (2 + 3)" would be returned as "1, 2, 3, +, *"
GetTokens	Returns the tokens for a formula in text form. See TExcelFile.​Get​Formula​Tokens(​​Integer, Integer) for more information.
SetFormulaTokens	Sets a cell with the formula specified by its tokens. Normally you will get the tokens by modifying the result of TExcelFile.​Get​Formula​Tokens(​​Integer, Integer)
SetTokens	This method converts a list of tokens in the corresponding string. Normally you get the tokens from TExcelFile.GetTokens or TExcelFile.​Get​Formula​Tokens(​​Integer, Integer)
SSTCount	Count of unique strings in the file.
HasFmlaCache	True if the file has a formula cache.

Properties

Name	Description
NeedsRecalc	Internal use.
Recalculating	Internal use.
IsXltTemplate	Determines if the file is a template (xlt format instead of xls, xltx instead of xlsx, or xltm instead of xlsm). Both file formats are nearly identical, but there is an extra record needed so the file is a proper xlt template. Note that when saving to a file, FlexCel can detect if this is a template from the extension, and so if you save to *.xlt, *.xltx or *.xltm the file will be saved as template, even if this property is false. When saving to a stream, you need to set this property correctly because FlexCel can't guess it from the filename.
ActiveWindow	Gets or sets the active windows to which some sheet and workbook options like zoom will apply. (1 based) Note that spreadsheets normally have a single Window, so this value will most likely be 1 and should stay that way. If you are working with multiple spreadsheet windows, you can change this property to change the sheet options of a particular window. The properties that apply to a specific window and are affected by this property mention it on their docs.
WindowCount	Returns the number of windows in the file. Note that this isn't the sheet count, but the number of views of the workbook. Most Excel documents have only one window.
ActiveSheetFor​Active​Window	Gets or sets the active sheet for the TExcelFile.​Active​Window. Note that this won't change the active sheet for FlexCel when you enter a value, you still need to call TExcelFile.​Active​Sheet for that. This property will only change the sheet that is active in that window when you open the file in Excel. Setting this property will also unselect the other sheets. If you want to select multiple sheets, make sure to select them *after* setting the ActiveSheetFor​Active​Window.​
ExcelFileFormat	Empty files created by different versions of Excel can have different characteristics. For example, the default font in an Excel 2003 file is Arial, while the default in 2007 is Calibri. This property returns the version of file that is loaded into FlexCel. When calling TExcelFile.​New​File(​​Integer, TExcelFileFormat) or when opening a new file, FlexCel will update the value of this property.
XlsxExtraCompatibility	By default, FlexCel creates xlsx files that conform to the published xlsx spec, but are not necessarily the same as a file Excel would create. FlexCel might use different prefixes, etc, as the ones Excel choose to use. While this is ok, some third party tools might have problems opening the xlsx files if they are not exactly as Excel would create them. If you are having issues with third party tools and the xlsx files created by FlexCel, you can try setting this property to true. Note: setting this property to true might result in files that contain invalid Ids, because the Ids are used by FlexCel and Excel. This is a very unlikely possibility, but the risk is there. If possible, it is best to keep this property false.
XlsxCompatibility​Convert​Indexed​Colors​ToRGB	By default, if an xls or xlsx file has indexed colors or if you set an indexed color with the FlexCelAPI, FlexCel will save those colors as indexed in the final file. This is correct and the default, but LibreOffice/​Open​Office at the time of this writing (version 6.2) won't understand indexed colors in xlsx files. So if you have xlsx files with indexed colors that you want to display correctly in Libre/OpenOffice, you must turn this property on.
StrictOpenXml	Read this file to know if the xlsx file loaded by FlexCel is a normal xlsx file or a "Strict Open XML file". Set this property to make FlexCel save as strict or normal open xlsx file. This property has no effect in xls files, only in xlsx. If you are not sure about what a strict open xml file is, just keep this property false and FlexCel will output normal xlsx files. IMPORTANT:FlexCel works by preserving a lot of stuff it doesn't know about, and that stuff might be valid in normal files and invalid in strict files or vice-versa. So if you open an strict file and save it as normal, or open a normal file and save it as strict, it might happen that FlexCel preserves some records or namespaces that are not allowed in the new format. Given this, you shouldn't use this property to change the type of existing files, except for simple files or files that you created yourself with...[more]
ActiveFileName	The file we are working on. When we save the file with another name, it changes. When we open a stream, it is set to "". This value is also used to get the text of Headers and Footers (when using the filename macro). When using the filename macro on headers/footers, make sure you set this value to what you want.
ActiveSheet	The Sheet where we are working on, 1-based(First sheet is 1, not 0). Always set this property before working on a file. You can read or write this value.
ActiveSheetByName	The sheet where we are working on, referred by name instead of by index. To change the active sheet name, use TExcelFile.SheetName
SheetCount	The number of sheets on the file.
SheetCountVisible	Number of visible sheets in the file.
SheetName	Reads and changes the name of the active sheet. To switch to another sheet by its name, use TExcelFile.​Active​Sheet​ByName
SheetCodeName	Returns or sets the codename of a sheet, that is an unique identifier assigned to the sheet when it is created. Codenames are useful because they never change once the file is created, and they are what macros reference. Very important! We don't support changing codenames if the file has macros, because we can't modify the required macros to use the modified codename. Also, Excel 2003 or older will ignore the codename if the file doesn't have macros. Excel 2007 or newer will preserve the codenames even if the file doesn't have macros.
SheetID	Returns an unique identifier for the active sheet. This is a value that is only used by FlexCel, and you can use it together with TExcelFile.​Get​Sheet​Index​FromID to retrieve a sheet after deleting or adding sheets. While normally you can use TExcelFile.​Active​Sheet to store and retrieve a sheet, if you plan to delete or add sheets before restoring the active sheet, the stored ActiveSheet could become invalid....[more]
SheetVisible	Sets the visibility of the active sheet.
SheetZoom	Reads/Writes the zoom of the current sheet. Note that this property refers to the zoom in the current page view mode. If you are for example in Page Break Preview mode, this would be the zoom for Page Break Preview. You can change of page view mode and the zoom for all of the modes with TExcelFile.SheetView This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
FirstSheetVisible	This is the first sheet that will be visible in the bar of sheet tabs at the bottom. Normally you will want this to be 1. Note that every time you change TExcelFile.​Active​Sheet this value gets reset, because it makes no sense to preserve it. If you want to change it, change it before saving. The same way, to read it, read it just after opening the file. Please also note that if the first sheet you select is hidden, FlexCel will ignore this value and select a visible sheet. (otherwise Excel would crash) This property can work in different windows depending on the value of...[more]
SheetTabColor	Reads/Writes the color of the current sheet tab. TExcelColor.​Automatic to specify no color.
SheetView	Returns and sets the page view mode with their corresponding zooms. Note that changing the zoom here changes TExcelFile.SheetZoom This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
SheetIsRightToLeft	If true then the sheet goes from right to left, with A1 starting at the top right of the page. You can also set this option with TExcelFile.​Sheet​Options
ShowGridLines	True if the gray grid lines are shown on the Active sheet. You can also set this option with TExcelFile.​Sheet​Options This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
ShowGridHeadings	True is the column headings ("A", "B", etc) and row headings ("1", "2", etc) are shown. You can also set this option with TExcelFile.​Sheet​Options by changing TSheetOptions.​Show​RowAnd​Column​Headers This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
ShowFormulaText	When true, the formula text will be displayed instead of the formula value. You can also set this option with TExcelFile.​Sheet​Options This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
GridLinesColor	Color of the grid separator lines. This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
HideZeroValues	When true number 0 will be shown as empty. You can also set this option with TExcelFile.​Sheet​Options This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
SheetType	Use this property to know it the TExcelFile.​Active​Sheet is a worksheet, a chart sheet or other.
SheetOptions	This property groups a lot of properties of the sheet, like for example if it is showing formula texts or the results. Most of this properties can be changed directly from XlsFile, but this method allows you to change them all together, or to easily copy the options from one file to another. Look also at TExcelFile.​Sheet​Window​Options for options that affect all sheets. This property can work in different windows depending on the value of...[more]
SheetWindowOptions	This property groups a lot of properties of all the sheets in the workbook, like for example if the sheet tab bar at the bottom is visible. Look also at TExcelFile.​Sheet​Options for options that affect only the active sheet. This property can work in different windows depending on the value of TExcelFile.​Active​Window
HPageBreakCount	The number of horizontal page breaks in the active sheet.
VPageBreakCount	The number of vertical page breaks in the active sheet.
AllowEntering​Empty​Strings	By default, FlexCel won't allow you to enter empty or null strings into a cell; it will create a blank record instead. If for any reason you need to enter actual empty strings (which might be confusing to the Excel user) set this property to true.
AllowEntering​Unknown​Functions​AndNames	Whenever you try to use an unknown function in a formula, like "=MYFUNCTION()", FlexCel will raise an Exception. Same happens with unknown names. This is normally the expected behavior, so you don't enter a misspelled name by mistake, and you can add used defined function to FlexCel so it understands it. But in some cases, you might want to allow any function to be entered, no matter if is known or not: Excel behaves this way. For those cases, set this property to true. The unknown functions will return #NAME! as formula result.
FormatCount	Number of custom formats defined in all the file. When calling GetFormat(XF), 0<​=XF<​Format​Count.​
GetDefaultFont	Returns Excel standard font for an empty cell.
GetDefaultFont​Normal​Style	Returns Excel font for the "normal" style. This style is used to draw the row and column headings.
FontCount	Number of fonts defined in all the sheet. When calling GetFont(​font​Index)​, 0<​=font​Index<​Format​Count.​
ConditionalFormat​Count	Returns the number of conditional format blocks on the list. You can use this value to loop on them and retrieve the individual ones with TExcelFile.​Get​Conditional​Format
StyleCount	Returns the number of named styles in the file.
CellMergedListCount	For using with TExcelFile.​Cell​Merged​List on a loop: for (int i=1;i <= CellMergedList​Count;​i+​+​) DoSomething(​Cell​Merged​List(​i)​)​.​.​.​
RowCount	Number of rows actually used on the sheet.
ColCount	Number of columns actually used on the active sheet, including formatted columns. You will normally want to use TExcelFile.​Col​Count​Only​Data instead. Note that this method is slow as it needs to loop over all the rows to find out the biggest used column. Never use it in a loop like "for (int col = 1; col <= xls.ColCount; col++)". Instead try to use TExcelFile.​Col​Count​InRow(​​Integer)...[more]
ColFormatCount	Returns the number of formatted columns in the file. Note that in xlsx files this number can be very big.
ColCountOnlyData	While TExcelFile.ColCount will return the maximum column including both data and formatted columns, this method doesn't include formatted columns, only cells with data, and it is normally what you need to use. Important: This method includes blank formatted cells. See The Maximum Used Column On A Sheet
DefaultRowHeight	The default height for empty rows, in Excel internal units. (1/20th of a point). IMPORTANT: For this property to have any effect, you also need to set TExcelFile.​Default​RowHeight​Automatic = false. To get the real default row height Excel will use when TExcelFile.​Default​RowHeight​Automatic = true or TExcelFile.​Default​RowHidden...[more]
DefaultRowHeight​Automatic	When this property is true, the row height for empty rows is calculated with the height of the "Normal" font and will change if you change the Normal style. When false, the value in TExcelFile.​Default​RowHeight will be used.
DefaultRowHidden	When this property is true, rows with no data are hidden by default. Note that this property only affects the visibility of empty rows. If for example row 6 is empty and you have this property true, then row 6 will be hidden. But if you write any value in a cell in row 6, then the row won't be empty anymore, and it won't be hidden anymore either.
DefaultColWidth	The default width for empty columns, in Excel internal units. (Character width of font 0 / 256) See Excel Internal Units for more information in Excel internal units.
GetUsedPaletteColors	Returns a list of the used colors on the palette. You can use it as an entry to TExcelFile.​Nearest​Color​Index(​​TUIColor) to modify the palette.
NamedRangeCount	The count of all named ranges on the file.
PageHeader	Page header on the active sheet. Note that this property sets the same header for the all the pages. In Excel 2007 or newer you can set a different header for the first page, or odd/even pages. If you want to control these options, see TExcelFile.​Get​Page​Header​AndFooter and TExcelFile.​Set​Page​Header​AndFooter. A page header is a string that contains the text for the 3 parts of the header....[more]
PageFooter	Page footer on the active sheet. For a description on the format of the string, see TExcelFile.​Page​Header
PrintGridLines	True if the gray grid lines are printed when printing the spreadsheet.
PrintHeadings	When true the row and column labels (A,B...etc for columns, 1,2... for rows) will be printed.
PrintHCentered	When true the sheet will print horizontally centered on the page.
PrintVCentered	When true the sheet will print vertically centered on the page.
PrintToFit	If true, sheet will be configured to fit on TExcelFile.​Print​Number​OfHorizontal​Pages x TExcelFile.​Print​Number​OfVertical​Pages.
PrintCopies	Number of copies to print.
PrintXResolution	Horizontal printer resolution on DPI.
PrintYResolution	Vertical printer resolution on DPI.
PrintOptions	All print options in a single place.
PrintLandscape	If true, page will be printed landscape, else portrait.
PrintScale	Percent to grow/shrink the sheet when printing. 100 means a page scale of 100%%.
PrintFirstPageNumber	Page number that will be assigned to the first sheet when printing. (So it will show in page headers/footers). You might set this value to null to keep the page automatic. Also, the value returned here will be null it this value is not set (Set to Automatic)
PrintNumberOf​Horizontal​Pages	If set, the sheet will be printed on at most this number of horizontal pages. Use 0 to have unlimited horizontal pages while still limiting the vertical pages with TExcelFile.​Print​Number​OfVertical​Pages. (see 'Preparing for printing' in the Api Developer Guide)
PrintNumberOf​Vertical​Pages	If set, the sheet will be printed on at most this number of vertical pages. Use 0 to have unlimited vertical pages while still limiting the horizontal pages with TExcelFile.​Print​Number​OfHorizontal​Pages. (see 'Preparing for printing' in the Api Developer Guide)
PrintPaperSize	Pre-defined standard paper size. If you want to set up a printer specific paper size, see TExcelFile.​Set​Printer​Driver​Settings
PrintPaperDimensions	Returns the dimensions for the selected paper. See also TExcelFile.​Print​Paper​Size.
ImageCount	The number of images on the active sheet.
ObjectCount	Count of all graphical objects on the sheet. They can be charts, images, shapes, etc.
DataValidationCount	Returns the number of DataValidation structures in the active sheet. There are 2 ways you can access the data validation information on a sheet:...[more]
HyperLinkCount	The count of hyperlinks on the active sheet
OutlineSummary​Rows​Below​Detail	Determines whether the summary rows should be below or above details on outline.
OutlineSummary​Cols​Right​ToDetail	Determines whether the summary columns should be right to or left to the details on outline.
OutlineAutomatic​Styles	This handles the setting of Automatic Styles inside the outline options.
ChartCount	Returns the count of charts on this sheet. Please take note that this method will not return the number of embedded objects with charts inside in a sheet, but just the number of charts in the sheet. In simpler terms, this method will return 0 for all worksheets, and 1 for all chart sheets. This is not a very useful method, but it needs to be this way to be consistent with TExcelFile.GetChart. So, looping like this:...[more]
OptionsDates1904	Excel has 2 different date systems. On windows systems it uses 1900 based dates, and on old Macintosh systems it uses 1904 dates. You can change this on Excel under Options, and this property allows you to know and change which format is being used. See https:​//​support.​microsoft.​com/​en-​us/​help/​214330/​differences-​between-​the-​1900-​and-​the-​1904-​date-​system-​in-​excel
OptionsR1C1	Use this property to change the reference system used in the file. Note that this option only changes how Excel and FlexCel will display the file. Internally, the formulas will always be stored in A1 format, and converted by Excel to and from R1C1 if this property is true. FlexCel will also use this property to render the file when it is set to print formulas. Also, this property doesn't change how FlexCel will parse or return the formula text in the cells or names. By default, even if this property is true, you will need to enter the formulas in FlexCel in A1 mode. To change the entry mode in FlexCel, please use...[more]
OptionsSaveExternal​Link​Values	This property has the value of the corresponding option on Excel options.
OptionsPrecision​AsDisplayed	This property has the value of the corresponding option on Excel options.
OptionsMultithread​Recalc	Number of threads that can be used at the same time by Excel when recalculating. Set it to 0 to disable multithread recalculation, and to -1 to let Excel decide the best number of threads to use. The maximum value for this property is 1024. This option only applies to Excel 2007 or newer.
OptionsForce​Full​Recalc	If true, Excel will do full recalculations of the spreadsheet when you change a cell. If false, only the cells that depend on the cell being changed will be recalculated. This option only applies to Excel 2007 or newer.
OptionsFullRecalc​OnLoad	This property tells you if the open file wasn't recalculated when saved. If true, the workbook doesn't have recalculated values and will be recalculated when open in Excel. This option only applies to xlsx files. Note that if you open a file which has FullRecalcOnLoad = true in FlexCel, recalculate it and save it, FlexCel will save the file with FullRecalcOnLoad = false. To change what FlexCel writes in FullRecalcOnLoad when saving, change TExcelFile.​Options​Full​Recalc​OnLoad​Mode
OptionsFullRecalc​OnLoad​Mode	Defines how FlexCel will identify the files it creates to be calculated by Excel when it opens them.
OptionsRecalc​Circular​References	If true, Excel and FlexCel will do iterative calculating over cells with circular references, until TExcelFile.​Options​Recalc​MaxIterations is reached or the difference is less than TExcelFile.​Options​Recalc​MaxChange
OptionsRecalc​MaxIterations	Maximum number of iterations when calculating circular references (TExcelFile.​Options​Recalc​Circular​References is true),
OptionsRecalc​MaxChange	Maximum difference between 2 iterations when calculating circular references (TExcelFile.​Options​Recalc​Circular​References is true),
OptionsAutoCompress​Pictures	If true, Excel will try to compress the pictures to keep sizes down. This option only applies to Excel 2007 or newer.
OptionsForce​UseCheck​Compatibility	When the option TExcelFile.​Options​Check​Compatibility is true, Excel will refuse to austosave the file. To avoid a confusing situation where Excel refuses to autosave the file and shows a vague warning about an "older file format", TExcelFile.​Options​Check​Compatibility is ignored by FlexCel. In order to force FlexCel to save TExcelFile.​Options​Check​Compatibility...[more]
OptionsCheck​Compatibility	Whether the "Check for compatibility" dialog will pop up when saving as xls in Excel 2007 or newer. This option only applies to Excel 2007 or newer. Important: When this option is true, Excel will refuse to enable "Autosave" and upload the files to OneDrive (Autosave is the first option in the title bar in Excel 2019). If true, you will get a message: "How do I turn on Autosave? Before Autosave can save your file, you need to fix the following: This file was created in an older file format. Please select File > Save As to update the file format."...[more]
OptionsBackup	Defines whether to save a backup copy of the workbook or not.
OptionsRecalcMode	Reads and writes the recalculating options in the file. Note that this only affects the file and how Excel will recalculate, not how FlexCel does its recalculation. FlexCel ignores this setting and uses TExcelFile.​Recalc​Mode instead.
RecalcMode	Set this property to change how the file will be recalculated. Note that this affects only how FlexCel recalculates the file, but not how Excel will recalculate it. It doesn't change anything in the generated file. To change the options for the file, use TExcelFile.​Options​Recalc​Mode instead.
RecalcVersion	Defines which version of Excel recalculation engine will be saved in the file. This affects how Excel will recalculate the file on open. If you set this property for example to Excel2007, then any Excel version newer than Excel 2007 will recalculate all formulas when you load the file, so it will modify the workbook and will ask for saving changes when closing. Even if you just open and close the file. Note that this will only happen if there are formulas on the sheet. If there are any formulas that FlexCel can't recalculate, you should set this property to AlwaysRecalc. For example, if you have the formula:...[more]
LinkCount	Returns the number of external links for the file. You can access those links with TExcelFile.GetLink and TExcelFile.SetLink
HeightCorrection	Factor to multiply default row heights. See remarks for a detailed explanation.
FileFormatWhenOpened	Returns the file format that the file had when it was opened. If the file was created with TExcelFile.NewFile, the file format when opened is xls.
Linespacing	A Linespacing of 1 means use the standard GDI+ linespace when a cell has more than one line. A linespace of 2 would mean double linespacing, and 0.5 would mean half linespacing. Normally linespacing in Excel is a little bigger than linespacing in GDI+, so you can use this property to fine tune what you need. This property doesn't alter the Excel file in any way. It is only used when rendering.
WidthCorrection	Factor to multiply default column widths. See remarks for a detailed explanation.
CellMarginFactor	This property can be used to add a margin to the cells when rendering, so text is rendered smaller and can have more line breaks. The default value of 1.0 means normal cells. The bigger this value, the bigger the margins and the smaller the real cell width for rendering the text. You might want to make this value a little larger than 1 if autofitting and Excel is wrapping text that FlexCel fits into one line.
CellIndentation​Rendering	Excel doesn't adapt the cell indentation when changing the print scale. This means that if a cell indentation is 0.1 inches at 100%% print scale, it will also be 0.1 inches at 50%% print scale. This will break the layout of your files when changing the print scaling, and so by default FlexCel won't behave like Excel here and make the indentation half the size if printing at half the scale. If you want to mimic the exact Excel behavior, set this property to true. See 'Cell indentation' in the Api Developer Guide
HeadingColWidth	Width that will be used by the added column with row numbers when TExcelFile.​Print​Headings is true. The default value (0) means to use an automatic value which is fine if you don't have too many rows to print. A positive value will make the column wider or narrower. A negative value will auto-calculate the width depending in the number of rows and normal font of the spreadsheet.
HeadingRowHeight	Height that will be used by the added row with column headers when TExcelFile.​Print​Headings is true. The default value (0) means to use an automatic value which is fine with normal fonts. A positive value will make the column wider or narrower.A negative value will auto-calculate the height depending in the normal font of the spreadsheet.
ScreenScaling	This property lets you specify the screen scaling that FlexCel will assume for reading xlsx files in percent. (default is 100 which means 100%%). The values can be between 100 and 500. Column widths in xlsx files which don't have a fixed column width set will be different in different screen resolutions. So we need to know which resolution to emulate in order to read those files correctly. You will probably want to leave this property to the default value of 100, but you can change it if needed. ...[more]
CustomTableStyle​Count	Returns the number of custom tables styles defined in the workbook.
TableCountInWorkbook	Returns the number of tables in the whole workbook. (Not just the active sheet)
TableCountInSheet	Returns the number of tables in the active sheet. Use TExcelFile.​Get​Table(​​Integer) to retrieve the tables in the sheet.
CustomXmlPartCount	Returns the number of custom xml parts in the active document.
