Syntax

= MLUseCellArray(flag)
MLUseCellArray flag
out = MLUseCellArray(flag)

Description

= MLUseCellArray(flag) specifies whether MLPutMatrix must use cell arrays for transfer of data (for example, dates). When the Spreadsheet Link™ software is installed, the default is "no". If you change the value of MLUseCellArray to "yes", the change remains in effect the next time a Microsoft® Excel® session starts. Use this syntax when working directly in a worksheet.

example

MLUseCellArray flag specifies whether MLPutMatrix must use cell arrays for transfer of data. Use this syntax in a VBA macro.

out = MLUseCellArray(flag) lets you catch errors when executing MLUseCellArray in a VBA macro. If MLUseCellArray fails, then out is a string containing error code. Otherwise, out is 0.
