I have a long-time client whose team uses Visio as part of their extensive documentation processes. If you’ve just got your morning coffee and like to read a bit of a story, then settle in for some nerdy prose… The Real-world Problem If you’re looking for a solution in a hurry, just skip to the bottom and read A Very Simple Solution. Have questions or feedback about Office VBA or this documentation? Please see Office VBA support and feedback for guidance about the ways you can receive support and provide feedback.I ran across a scenario where I needed to get a Word equation into Visio, and have it export to SVG. Selection.InsertFormula Formula:= '=GrossSales-45,000.00', _ Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart The example inserts a formula field that is subtracted from a value represented by the bookmark named 'GrossSales.' The result is formatted with a dollar sign. Selection.InsertFormula Formula:='=Average(Above)' This example creates a table with three rows and three columns at the beginning of the active document and then calculates the average of all the numbers in the first column. If you don't specify Formula and all the cells above and to the left of the insertion point are empty, using the = (Formula) field causes an error. If the cells above the insertion point contain values, the inserted field is. The Formula argument is optional only if the selection is in a cell and there is at least one cell that contains a value above or to the left of the cell that contains the insertion point.

If you are using a spreadsheet application, such as Microsoft Office Excel, embedding all or part of a worksheet in a document is often easier than using the = (Formula) field in a table.

The formula replaces the selection, if the selection is not collapsed. For information about the types of formats you can apply, see Numeric Picture (#) field switch. For more information about the = (Formula) field, see Field codes:= (Formula) field.Ī format for the result of the = (Formula) field. For example, '=SUM(A4:C4)' specifies the first three values in the fourth row. Spreadsheet-type references to table cells are valid. The mathematical formula you want the = (Formula) field to evaluate. A variable that represents a Selection object. Formula ( Formula, NumberFormat)Įxpression Required. Inserts an = (Formula) field that contains a formula at the selection.
