IXlTableColumn Interface

Represents a single column in a table.

Namespace: DevExpress.Export.Xl

Assembly: DevExpress.Printing.v24.2.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

public interface IXlTableColumn

VB.NET

Public Interface IXlTableColumn

Remarks

The IXlTableColumn objects are stored in the IXlTableColumnCollection collection that is available using the IXlTable.Columns property. You can access an individual table column by its name or index from the collection. An IXlTableColumn object provides a set of properties to modify a table column. For example, use the IXlTableColumn.DataFormatting and IXlTableColumn.TotalRowFormatting properties to format the data area or total row cell of the table column. Use the TableColumn.TotalRowFunction and TableColumn.TotalRowLabel properties to specify how the column total should be calculated. Use the IXlTableColumn.SetFormula methods to create a calculated column within the table.

Example
