Parameters

WorksheetName
string

The localized worksheet name from which you want to read the value. This is the localized name that is displayed in QDV tab name. So it may be different in other languages!

If you want to use the language neutral ID, get the overhead workbook with GetReadOnlyCopyOfWorkbook, enumerate all worksheets in it, and test their OverheadSheetInfo.Name property. Then access the cell in the found sheet.

RangeReference
string

The reference to the cell you want to read. E.g. 'A1'

Return Value

object

The value being in the cell.

Remarks
 

When you have few values to read from a workbook, prefer this rather than getting an instance of the complete workbook. This is usually faster because you don't have to acquire a lock on the workbook.

When referring to a merged area or a range, it returns the value being in the upper cell.

Version
 
Available since QDV 7.13.0001.
