Class BooleanFunction

java.lang.Object

org.apache.poi.ss.formula.functions.BooleanFunction

All Implemented Interfaces:

Function

public abstract class BooleanFunction
extends java.lang.Object
implements Function

Here are the general rules concerning Boolean functions:

1. Blanks are ignored (not either true or false)
2. Strings are ignored if part of an area ref or cell ref, otherwise they must be 'true' or 'false'
3. Numbers: 0 is false. Any other number is TRUE
4. Areas: *all* cells in area are evaluated according to the above rules

Method Detail

evaluate

public final ValueEval evaluate(ValueEval[] args,
                                int srcRow,
                                int srcCol)

Specified by:

evaluate in interface Function

Parameters:

args - the evaluated function arguments. Empty values are represented with BlankEval or MissingArgEval, never null.

srcRow - row index of the cell containing the formula under evaluation

srcCol - column index of the cell containing the formula under evaluation

Returns:

The evaluated result, possibly an ErrorEval, never null. Note - Excel uses the error code #NUM! instead of IEEE NaN, so when numeric functions evaluate to Double.NaN be sure to translate the result to ErrorEval.NUM_ERROR.

getInitialResultValue

protected abstract boolean getInitialResultValue()

partialEvaluate

protected abstract boolean partialEvaluate(boolean cumulativeResult,
                                           boolean currentValue)
