Example

The example below shows how to use the SelectionChanged event to calculate the average, count, numerical count and sum for non-empty selected cells.

spreadsheetControl1.SelectionChanged += (s, e) =>
{
    int count = 0;
    double sum = 0.0;
    int numericCount = 0;
    double average = 0.0;

    Worksheet worksheet = spreadsheetControl1.ActiveWorksheet;
    Range selectedCells = worksheet.Selection.Intersect(worksheet.GetDataRange());
    if (selectedCells != null)
    {
        foreach (Cell cell in selectedCells.ExistingCells)
        {
            count++;
            if (cell.Value.IsNumeric)
            {
                numericCount++;
                sum += cell.Value.NumericValue;
            }
        }
    }
    if (numericCount > 0)
        average = sum / numericCount;
};
