Problems setting color to formula value cell

Aspose.Cells Product Family

Hello, I open an excel file very simple ( cell A1=1, A2=2, A3=Suma(A1:A2) )
Later I define a new style, set the background and foreground color, and assign this style to the three cells (A1, A2 and A3).

When I save the file I see A1 and A2 have the color ok, but A3 don’t; …why?

If I set the formula Suma(A1:A2) at runtime in the code it works fine ( e.Worksheets.GetAt(0).Cells().GetAt(2, 0).Formula = "=Suma(A1:A2) )



Here is the code:

Dim e As New Excel()
e.Open(“base.xls”)

Dim s As Style = e.Styles.GetAt(e.Styles.Add())
s.BackgroundColor = Color.Beige
s.ForegroundColor = Color.Yellow

e.Worksheets.GetAt(0).Cells().GetAt(0, 0).Style = s
e.Worksheets.GetAt(0).Cells().GetAt(1, 0).Style = s
e.Worksheets.GetAt(0).Cells().GetAt(2, 0).Style = s

e.Save(“test.xls”, FileFormatType.Default)

@neqware,
We recommend you to use the following sample code using the latest version of Aspose.Cells for .NET.

Workbook workbook = new Workbook(); // Creating a Workbook object
workbook.Worksheets.Add();
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];
 
//Accessing cell from the worksheet
Cell cell = worksheet.Cells["B2"];
Style style = cell.GetStyle();            
 
//Setting the foreground color to yellow            
style.BackgroundColor = Color.Yellow;
 
//Setting the background pattern to vertical stripe
style.Pattern = BackgroundType.VerticalStripe;            
 
//Saving the modified style to the "B2" cell.
cell.SetStyle(style);
 
// === Setting Foreground ===
 
//Adding custom color to the palette at 55th index
Color color = Color.FromArgb(212, 213, 0);
workbook.ChangePalette(color, 55);
 
//Accessing cell from the worksheet
cell = worksheet.Cells["B3"];
 
//Adding some value to the cell
cell.PutValue("Hello Aspose!");
 
workbook.Save("test.xlsx", SaveFormat.Xlsx); //Workbooks can be saved in many formats
