3.9 Operand Tokens
3.9.3 tArea (25 H , 45 H , 65 H )
This token contains the reference to a cell range in the same sheet. Operand class: reference.
Token tArea, BIFF2-BIFF5:
Offset Size Contents
0 1 25 H (tAreaR), 45 H (tAreaV), 65 H (tAreaA)
1 6 Encoded cell range address (➜3.3.3)
Token tArea, BIFF8:
Offset Size Contents
0 1 25 H (tAreaR), 45 H (tAreaV), 65 H (tAreaA)
1 8 Encoded cell range address (➜3.3.4)
3.9.4 tMemArea (26 H , 46 H , 66 H )
This token encapsulates a reference subexpression (➜3.2.5) that results in a constant cell address, cell range address, or
cell range list on the same sheet. The token provides the result of the reference subexpression in a cell range address list
(➜2.5.15). This list does not follow the token identifier, but is stored behind the complete token array (➜3.1.6).
The tMemArea token is not allowed in conditions of conditional formattings and in data validity. If this token is used in
cell formulas, it prevents the creation of shared formulas. Operand class: reference.
Token tMemArea, BIFF2:
Offset Size Contents
0 1 26 H (tMemAreaR), 46 H (tMemAreaV), 66 H (tMemAreaA)
1 3 Not used
4 1 Size of the following reference subexpression (all reference operators with their operands)
Token tMemArea, BIFF3-BIFF8:
Offset Size Contents
0 1 26 H (tMemAreaR), 46 H (tMemAreaV), 66 H (tMemAreaA)
1 4 Not used
5 2 Size of the following reference subexpression (all reference operators with their operands)
Examples for constant reference subexpressions represented by a tMemArea token:
Reference subexpression
A1:B2 B2:C3
A1:B2:B2:C3
(A1:B2,B2:C3)
(A1:B2,B2:C3) B1:B3
Resulting cell range address list
B2
A1:C3
A1:B2, B2:C3
B1:B2, B2:B3
