Remarks

When a cell range is copied from one SpreadsheetControl instance to another Spreadsheet control, formulas are calculated and their values are pasted into destination cells.

To change this behavior and copy formulas, set the AllowFormulasInBiff8 property of the source Spreadsheet control to true. When you paste cell values into Microsoft® Excel®, the AllowFormulasInBiff8 property value is ignored and only formula values are inserted.
