A reference that refers to the same cell or range on multiple sheets. Example: =SUM(Den1:Den31!C10) will sum C10 from all sheets between Den1 and Den3.
Some functions are exported from Excel with the _xlfn. prefix as compatibility measure with older versions of MS Excel (future functions, see here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd907480(v=office.12).aspx , https://support.office.com/en-ca/article/Issue-An-xlfn-prefix-is-displayed-in-front-of-a-formula-882f1ef7-68fb-4fcd-8d54-9fbb77fd5025 )
RadSpreadProcessing do not support these and the spreadsheet treats the function as not supported even when it is.
Example:
<row r="1" spans="2:2" x14ac:dyDescent="0.25">
<c r="B1" t="b">
<f>_xlfn.ISFORMULA(C2)</f>
<v>0</v>
</c>
</row>
This could be observed with the ISFORMULA function.
When I need to populate a cell that I find using a DefinedName I should parse RefersTo to get Worksheet name. But DefinedName class contains Scope property which has CurrentWorksheet and Workbook properties (internal). It would be very useful if these properties could be public.
The value of Worksheet.UsedCellRange could be calculated during the import of the workbook - as all cells are processed anyway. This will improve the performance of the first usage of this property, which is very common scenario. Also xlsx documents can have optional 'dimension' element which is used to specify the used cell range: <dimension ref="A1:C2"/>.
Now there is no public API that allows the users to check if a Worksheet is empty or not. The UsedCellRange property returns a cell range that is only the cell A1 even if it is empty too. Possible solution is to expose IsEmpty property of the CellRange. Workaround: Check if Worksheet.UsedCellRange contains only A1, and that additionally A1 is empty.
