Adding Data


You must determine whether the data you are adding to the sheet contains formatting and the layout of the data (for example, if it is in a tab-delimited array) to decide the best way to add the data to the sheet.

Formatted data usually includes information that denotes the context of the data. Unformatted data does not include additional information and might require a specific format to convey meaning.

For example, formatted monetary data might include currency and separator characters to indicate monetary value, as in $1,025.34. Unformatted data would not include the currency and separator characters, only the numeric value, as in 1025.34. For a more thorough discussion of formatted and unformatted data, see Formatted and Unformatted Data.

For detailed information about how to provide the data for each cell type, see the property, method, and function topics in the reference guides.
