I also met the same problem. Has this problem been solved? |
Sure, how would you handle cells that have a raw value (like a number or raw string)? |
It's been a while since I filed this issue do I don't remember the entire context, but if I understand the question correctly, it's about deciding between outputting the raw value and the formula of a cell, in case both exists? In that case, I would prefer the formula to be output, since the raw value represents a particular calculation for the formula at a point in time. |
For cells that have formula expressions and values, you clearly would return the formula. The question is about cells that just have a value (no associated formula expression). Currently the formula output utility function guesses based on the type of cell. Numeric cell values are stringified, and string cell values are prepended with a single quote (how it would appear in the formula bar if you entered the value manually) |
I think that's a good solution. (Naively, I would like the values coerced to |
I'm using
.sheet_to_json
for easier testing (instead of comparing thews
object with an expected one). The problem is that formula cells don't show up in the JSON output. Is there a way to make that happen (other than sheet_to_formulae)? If not, an option likeformulas: true
forsheet_to_json
would be very useful for test automation.
