2.2.7.4.1.2.1 External Cells

  • Article

An external cell is cached data about a single cell in the external cell cache (section 2.2.7.4.1.2) and is represented by the following records:

  • BrtExternCellBlank (section 2.4.659)

  • BrtExternCellString (section 2.4.663)

  • BrtExternCellReal (section 2.4.662)

  • BrtExternCellError (section 2.4.661)

  • BrtExternCellBool (section 2.4.660)

External cell records specify the data type, data value, and the column (1) location of that cell in the source sheet. The external cells in a row in an external cell cache (section 2.2.7.4.1.2) MUST be specified in order of increasing column (1) index. Any value metadata (section 2.2.4.3) in the External cell is specified by an optional BrtExternValueMeta (section 2.4.668) record preceding the data records listed earlier.
