Cell.HasQuotePrefix Property

Indicates whether or not the cell value is prefixed with a single quote.

Namespace: DevExpress.Spreadsheet

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Spreadsheet.Core

#Declaration

bool HasQuotePrefix { get; }

#Property Value

Type Description
Boolean

true, if the cell value contains a leading quote; otherwise, false.

#Remarks

Use the HasQuotePrefix property to obtain cells with a single quote prefix. A leading quote before a cell value indicates that this value should be interpreted as a single text without further conversion to any other type. Thus, a number, date or formula entered with a leading single quote is treated as a text value and cannot be used in calculations.

Note that the Cell.DisplayText and CellValue.TextValue properties return the string value without a leading quote.
