I have NEVER tried that!  Think I'll play around with it!

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Exporting to Excel with embedded formulae


 
  
This may come as no ‘surprise’ to many but I thought I would mention it just in 
case it helps anyone wanting to export data to an Excel file, and create 
calculated columns, as it only just occurred to me. (Maybe I am just slow.)
  
 
  
By including a text column in the table which includes Excel formulae, (e.g. 
=+A2*B2), when this is exported to an Excel file the calculated columns are 
created in the spreadsheet. The format needs to be set in Excel, but at least 
the calculated values appear.
  
 
  
By using a view I assume one could include totals etc. for the rows as well.
