    Hi there,

    Been playing with this for few days and learnt that it has a formula processing feature as well. Pretty nifty. But for my use I want it to be disabled or if there is any way which can bypass the feature so that it doesnot invoke calculations?

    Looking forward to response

    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    Completely disabling the feature is not possible right now, but you can turn off parsing of individual formulas in the same way as in Excel, by prepending a single quotation mark '.
    With that, a formula like

    '=A3+A4

    will not be evaluated but printed as text

    =A3+A4

    Is that what you meant?

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hey Tobias,

    Thanks for swift reply. Yeah it sorted out the problem. After putting a query here I tried the Excel way if it will work and it was possible.

    thanks again

    Hi,

    no problem, you are very welcome! ?? Good to hear that this helped!

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!

    I want to grab the content form one cell to use in another cell. So for exmaple I have this shortcode:

    [quote url=’https://www.google.com/finance?q=’GOOG’%5D

    In cell C2 I have the symbol GOOG.

    How can I grab it in cell D2 if I have the above shortcode?

    Thanks!

    Thank you for answering even if I put it in the wrong place. ??

    Hi,

    you could maybe take a look at the TablePress Extension from https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-cell-shortcode/
    Note that Shortcodes within Shortcodes might not be supported by WordPress, so that you would have to somehow wrap this first (or modify your [quote] Shortcode.

    Doing this with a formula is not possible, unfortunately, as TablePress formulas don’t support strings/text.

    Regards,
    Tobias
