This example demonstrates how to display text in a cell programmatically. To display text in cell, use either a NamedRange control or a native Excel range object.
Applies to: The information in this topic applies to document-level projects and application-level projects for Excel 2007 and Excel 2010. For more information, see Features Available by Office Application and Project Type.
Using a NamedRange Control
This example uses a NamedRange control named message. The control must be added to a document-level customization at design time. The following code must be placed in a sheet class, not in the ThisWorkbook class.
To display text in a NamedRange control
Set the value of the NamedRange control to Hello World.
Me.message.Value2 = "Hello world"this.message.Value2 = "Hello world";
Using a Native Excel Range
The following code creates a new range programmatically and then assigns a value to it.
To display text in an Excel range
Retrieve the range at cell A1 on Sheet1 and set the value to Hello World.
Dim rng As Excel.Range = Globals.Sheet1.Range("A1") rng.Value2 = "Hello world"Excel.Range rng = Globals.Sheet1.Range["A1", missing]; rng.Value2 = "Hello world";
