Range.Formula2 (Excel)

Returns or sets a value that represents the object's formula in A1-style array notation.

This property is not available for OLAP data sources. In Dynamic Arrays enabled Excel, Range.Formula2 supercedes Range.Formula. Range.Formula will continue to be supported to maintain backcompatibility. A discussion on Dynamic Arrays and Range.Formula2 can be found here. If the cell contains a constant, this property returns the constant. If the cell is empty, this property returns an empty string. If the cell contains a formula, the Formula property returns the formula as a string in the same format that would be displayed in the formula bar (including the equal sign ( = )). If you set the value or formula of a cell to a date, Microsoft Excel verifies that cell is already formatted with one of the date or time number formats. If not, Excel changes the number format to the default short date number format. If the range is a one- or two-dimensional range, you can set the formula to a Visual Basic array of the same dimensions. Similarly, you can put the formula into a Visual Basic array. Formulas set using Range.Formula2 will always be evaluated as an array and may spill if more than 1 result is returned. Setting the formula for a multiple-cell range fills all cells in the range with the formula.
