I am attempting to write either an array function or a dynamic array to Excel via a UDF written in Excel DNA (v.0.34). My result is always a single value instead of the array. What am I doing wrong?
[ExcelFunction(Name = "WriteTestArray")]
public static object[,] WriteTestArray()
{
try
{
return new object[2, 2] { { "one", "two" }, { "three", "four" } };
}
catch
{
return new object[,] { { ExcelError.ExcelErrorValue } };
}
}
For array functions to work with Excel (before the 'dynamic array' support that comes one day in a future version) you need to select the target range, then type in your formula and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to commit it as an array formula. It will be indicated by curly brackets when displayed - e.g. {=MyFunc(...)}
