Hi ,

I am a total newbie to Excel programming or Excel DNA or even C# :(

I have a C# library which i can use to interface with my hosted server. I
need to integrate that with MS Excel 2010.
So my purpose is as simple as reading parameters from a function in Excel ,
calling my web interface , getting back a time series and displaying it as
a table in Excel.

So far , i was able to return single values but i am not able to make excel
display the 2 dimensioned array as a table.

Please guide me on how to do this.
Also it would be of great help if someone can give links to functions like
how to read from cells in current Excel sheet and how to write back values
to each cell.

Thanks
           Vineeth

Hi Vineeth,

Excel supports 'array formulae' which allow you to use an array of
values in a single function call. These are entered into the Excel
sheet by selected the target range of cells, then typeing in the
formula and pressing Ctrl+Shift+Enter to set it is an array formula
for the range. You'll such a formula see it displayed in Excel with
curly brackets {=GetTheData()}.

There are many hits of Google for 'Excel array formula' - this seemed
like a good start: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/ArrayFormulas.aspx.

To define an array function in you Excel-DNA add-in, just return the
data as an object[,] array.

Sometimes it's an issue to manage the size of the resulting array -
Excel assumes you already know the expected size. Excel-DNA can help
manage this - have a look at the ArrayResizer.dna example in the Excel-
DNA distribution.

Regards,
Govert
