Excel UDF issue with 3.3.12.0 - bug?

[polps]

Hello all,

I have installed the new release 3.3.12.0.

I read in the changelog that Excel UDF was re-written and I read more in the script breacking changes.

Wat about the old function _ExcelSheetActivate? I read that this function was renamed in _Excel_SheetActivate but I can't find it in the Help, and my script now detect an error (even changing the name of the function).

Can someone clarify me?

Thanks

Gianluca.

Sorry, that is a documentation bug. _Excel_SheetActivate was not renamed but removed.
Use

$oExcel.Sheets.Item(x).Activate ; x can be the number or name of the sheet to activate

Does it need to be Sheets.Item(x).Activate? I usually just do Sheets(x).Activate, like so, but am wondering now if it may cause unintended consequences:

$oApp = _Excel_Open()
$oWorkBook = _Excel_BookOpen($oApp, @DesktopDir & "\Test.xlsx")
Sleep(2000)
$oWorkBook.Sheets("Sheet410").Activate

There is no difference because "Item" is the default property of the Sheets collection.

Sorry if I bother you with my questions..

I'm re-writing my script in order to have 3.3.12.0 compatibility.

Before this code was ok

$oFileTdcShuntingXls = _ExcelBookOpen ( $FileTdcShuntingXls, 1 )
_ExcelSheetActivate ( $oFileTdcShuntingXls, "ShuntingRoutes" )
$xlLastCell = 11
$oFileTdcShuntingXls.ActiveCell.SpecialCells($xlLastCell).Activate

I re-wrote in this way, but it seems to me that it si not working... 

$oExcel = _Excel_Open()
$oFileTdcTrafficXls = _Excel_BookOpen ( $oExcel, $FileTdcTrafficXls )
$oFileTdcTrafficXls.Sheets.Item("TrafficRoutes").Activate ; "TrafficRoute" is the name of the sheet to activate
$xlLastCell = 11
$oFileTdcTrafficXls.ActiveCell.SpecialCells($xlLastCell).Activate

Thanks again.

Are you sure that ActiveSheet and ActiveCell are still needed?

The rewritten UDF no longer only works with the active sheet. You can now specify the sheet to work with.

Ok, I solved.

Thanks again.
