Here's what I dummied up at the command line. You just need to get the proper cells in the range object.
lox=CREATEOBJECT([excel.application]) lox.Visible=.t. lox.Workbooks.Add() los=lox.ActiveSheet lor=los.Range([a1],[a10]) ?lox.WorksheetFunction.Sum(lor) -- rk -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2017 10:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Excel automation to get the SUM("R:R") Excel 2013, VFP9SP2 Range Object model: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff838238.aspx I've got my handy "Microsoft Office Automation With Visual Foxpro" book out from HWP, trying to see where I can get the value of a range. In this case, when I just select the entire column, Excel tells me the SUM of all of the values in the column at the bottom. I need that number. I don't want to do some sort of loop; rather, I want to basically say from VFP: 'return the SUM("R:R").' I've looked at the object model above and there doesn't appear to be a .Sum to tag onto the end of the Range object (like you might think of with DotNet stuff). Also, I don't want to create a formula in some other remote cell and then read that, although that's my Plan B for now.
