Greetings,
I'm using TCOM to build my Excel spreadsheets and have many cols/rows
with data. I want to reference my columns in numbers instead of
letters because I want to reference them and do data manipulations and
such. Anyone find a concise how to do this?
This will work:
set range [$worksheet Range "A${row1}:B${row2}"]
But this will not (assuming col hold an integer value):
set range [$worksheet Range "${col1}${row1}:${col2}${row2}"]
Thanks

Just found the answer at http://wiki.tcl.tk/1821
Something like this:
set range [$cells Range [$cells Item $row1 $col1] [$cells Item $row2
$col2]]
Something like this:
set range [$cells Range [$cells Item $row1 $col1] [$cells Item $row2
$col2]]

it has many basic excel function, which might help with this and
others.

you might want to use TcomExcel (http://www.posoft.de/html/

Now I'm trying to find out how to selecte multiple ranges all at once
while referencing cols in numbers. Similar to:
set valuesRange [$worksheet Range "A10:A20,C10:E20"]
I tried:
set range [$cells Range [$cells Item 10 1] [$cells Item 20 1]],[$cells
Range [$cells Item 10 3] [$cells Item 20 5]]
But it didn't work

If anyone knows how to reference non-adjacent cell, please do share.

converting a numeric column specification to a letter string,
then I guess, it should not be all that hard to convert it in
your script before calling [$worksheet Range ...]
proc colname {num} {
# for 1 to 26 return A to Z
# for 27 to 702 return AA to ZZ
# for 703 to ...
}

I was hoping there would be a straight forward way of doing that, but
writing a small proc is always an option:
proc colN {n} {
if {$n<=26} {puts [format %c [expr {$n+64}]]
} else {
set a [expr {$n/26}] ;# rounded down
set b [expr {$n%$a}] ;# remainder of division
set c [expr {$n - $a*26}]
if {$c==0} {set c 26}
puts [format %c [expr {$a+64}]][format %c [expr {$c+64}]]
}
}

and for unlimited columns:
proc colN {n} {
set res ""
while {[incr n -1] >= 0} {
set res [format %c%s [expr {$n%26+65}] $res]
set n [ expr {$n/26}]
}
return $res
}
Test:
foreach arg {1 26 27 702 703 18278 18279} {
puts [format "%5d %s" $arg [colN $arg]]
}
