3 Formulas 3.3 Cell Addresses in Tokens All tokens containing cell addresses (with the two components row and column) store them in the same format. There are differences in storing relative components of an address. 3.3.1 Absolute and Relative Components of a Cell Address An absolute component of an address (for example the row in B$6) points always to the same fixed row or column. It is stored with its zero-based index (the value 0 refers to row 1 or column A). To store a relative component (for example the column in B$6), there are two different ways used in an Excel file: • In method [A], the reference component is stored equally to absolute components (with its zero-based index), together with the information, that the component is relative. • In method [B], a signed offset is stored for the reference component. The resulting address can be calculated later from the position in the current context (for example the cell position in which a defined name is used). The following table shows which formula type in Excel uses which method to store relative components: Method [A] [B] Formula type Cell formulas (➜4.7), array formulas (➜4.8) Shared formulas (➜4.8), conditional formatting (➜4.12), data validity (➜4.14), defined names (➜4.10) Example for method [A]: The reference in the cell formula =C4 is stored in a tRef token (➜3.9.2). Regardless of the position of the formula, the token always contains the row index 3 (zero-based index for row 4) and the column index 2 (zero-based column index for column C), together with two flags, that row and column indexes are relative. These flags are used for example when the cell is copied to another position (to adjust the relative reference components), but they do not influence the evaluation of the formula. Example for method [B]: The reference in the condition =C4 in a conditional formatting, entered in cell A7, is stored in a tRefN token (➜3.9.10). The token does not contain the address C4 itself, but the difference to the base cell A7, therefore it contains the row offset –3 (three rows up) and the column offset +2 (2 columns to the right). If the same conditional formatting is copied, the token will not be modified, because it only contains offset values, and not an explicit cell address. If it is copied for example to cell B8, the condition will refer to cell D5 (three rows up and 2 columns to the right from cell B8). 36
3.3 Cell Addresses in Tokens 3.3.2 Reference Token Replacement In formulas using method [B], several tokens are replaced by similar tokens that have the letter “N” appended to their name. Other tokens do not have such a counterpart and are used in both types of formulas (for example, tRef always uses method [A], tRefN always uses method [B], and tRef3d uses either method, dependent on the formula type). The following tables show the details. Reference token replacement, BIFF2-BIFF4: Cell formulas, array formulas [A] tRef/tArea tRefErr/tAreaErr tMemArea tMemNoMem tMemFunc tMemErr Reference token replacement, BIFF5-BIFF8: Defined names [B] tRefN/tAreaN tRefErr/tAreaErr tMemAreaN tMemNoMemN tMemFunc tMemErr Cell formulas, array formulas [A] Defined names [B] Shared formulas [B] tRef/tArea tRef3d/tArea3d tRefN/tAreaN tRefN/tAreaN Conditional formatting, data validity [B] (BIFF8) tRefErr/tAreaErr tRefErr3d/tAreaErr3d tRefErr/tAreaErr tRefErr/tAreaErr tRef3d/tArea3d tRef3d/tArea3d — — tRefErr3d/tAreaErr3d tRefErr3d/tAreaErr3d — — tMemArea tMemFunc — — tMemNoMem tMemFunc — — tMemFunc tMemFunc — — tMemErr tMemErr — — In BIFF5-BIFF8, the tRefN and tAreaN tokens do not occur, if all components of the contained cell address or cell range address are absolute. In this case, the respective tRef or tArea tokens are used. Example: The shared formulas =A1, =$A1, and =A$1 (shared formulas use method [B]) use a tRefNV token. But the shared formula =$A$1 uses a tRefV token instead. 37
