This setting is applied to the current sheet setting unless you first set the Sheet property to specify the sheet for which you are setting the property. Set the Col and Row properties to specify a cell before using the Value property. If you set the Col or Row property to –1 to set data for multiple cells, the same data is placed in each cell. If you set the Col or Row property to –1 to return data from multiple cells, unless the cells were set with the Col or Row property set to –1, the property does not return a value.
| Note: The Value property does not return the text in a column or row header cell unless the cell contains custom text. The property does not return the auto text in the header cells. |
The Value property can be used to set or return data in cells, as can the Clip, ClipValue, and Text properties, and the GetFloat, GetInteger, GetText, SetFloat, SetInteger, and SetText methods. Use the Value property to set or return unformatted data in cells. Number values that contain a decimal symbol must use a period regardless of the international settings. For more information about using these properties and methods, see Adding Data and Returning Data. For more information about formatted data, see Formatted and Unformatted Data.
