As an extension to widget references, widget cell references are used in formula to retrieve the content of certain widget cells.
Syntax: #pageName.widgetName!A1:B2
with
#pageName.widgetName - Reference of the widget (see previous chapter)
A1 - starting cell of the cell range, with
A: column 1, B: column 2, ...
1: row 1, 2: row 2, ...
B2 - ending cell of the cell range
Selecting cell references in the formula editor
While holding down the CTRL key, either a reference to a widget or to cells of a table widget can be inserted into the formula editor:
Single cells can be referenced by a single click on an already selected widget reference (identified by a dotted frame).
Multiple cells can be referenced by drag & drop across multiple cells.
After clicking on a widget reference in the formula editor, the corresponding widget or widget cell(s) is marked by a dotted marching frame.
Examples
#table1!B3 - returns the cell content of column 2 and row 3, of the widget with name table1
#table1!E - returns the content of the whole column 5
#table1!3 - returns the content of the whole row 3
#table1!B3:D5 - returns the cell range between column 2, row 3 and column 4, row 5.
#H5 - returns the content of column 8, row 5 of the widget that executes the current formula.
#me!H5 - returns the same as the previous example
