Acces all worksheets dynamically

Hello there,

I was coping around with the problem, that formulas /references are not updating in very worksheet. I found the solution to loop through every sheet and just "selecting" it:

    for ($i = 0; $i < $TBS->PlugIn(OPENTBS_COUNT_SHEETS); ++$i) {
        $TBS->PlugIn(OPENTBS_SELECT_SHEET, $i);
    }
   

The point is: A couple of templates I'm using dont have incrementing sheet ids. (I guess its because in the lifetime of a workbook worksheets are move, renamed and deleted.) That means, I have a workbook with 2 sheets with the ids 2 and 3. So the above loop won't work.

What I am asking is, is there a method to get all the sheet names or acutal sheet ids? I know, that the debug-method will give back a simple non-formatted string containig sheet information. So I could use a regex to find the information i want. But i am wondering if there is a better solution.


thanks

mister woo

//EDIT
yeah, of course i found the solution from this thread: http://www.tinybutstrong.com/forum.php?thr=3498

This is a good workaround, but anyway it would be great to be able to receive a list of actual sheets.

Re: Acces all worksheets dynamically

Hi,

It is true the sheetId may not be ordered nore sequential.
Thus there is not way to ensure to select the good sheet unless you know its internal id.

I think this is a kind of bug. Sheets should be accessible easily and naturally.
The next OpenTBS will fix that: OPENTBS_SELECT_SHEET will select the sheet corresponding to its order in the sheet collection.
And extra parameter will enable to use select the sheet by its sheetId for compatibility.

Re: Acces all worksheets dynamically

No, its not that urgent. As I already found a solution for my original problem (forced re-calculation of formulas) this feature is more like a "nice-to-have" - but thanks anyways!
