SciCalc 0.1.1

SciCalc - XLFormulaParser

SciCalc - XLFormulaParser is a .NET library designed to parse and evaluate Excel-like formulas, including basic mathematical operations, cell references, ranges, and common functions (e.g., SUM, AVERAGE, MAX, etc.). This lightweight parser is ideal for projects that require Excel-like formula processing without depending on Excel itself.

Features

• Basic Arithmetic: Supports operators like +, -, *, /, ^.
• Comparisons: Includes operators like =, <>, <, >, <=, >=.
• Excel Functions: Evaluate functions such as SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, MIN, MEDIAN, STDEV, VAR, ROUND, and more.
• Cell References and Ranges: Use cell references (A1, B2, etc.) and ranges (A1:B2) to retrieve and compute values.
• Custom Functions: Extend the parser by adding custom functions to suit specific needs.

Installation

You can install SciCalc - XLFormulaParser via NuGet:

dotnet add package SciCalc

Or, add it directly to your .csproj file:

<PackageReference Include="SciCalc" Version="0.1.0" />

Basic Setup

using System;
using using static SciCalc.Sci;

var parser = new XLFormulaParser();

// Define a function to get cell values based on their references
Func<string, object> getCellValue = reference =>
{
    // Return a value based on the cell reference; in practice, retrieve from your data source
    return reference switch
    {
        "A1" => 10,
        "A2" => 20,
        _ => 0
    };
};

// Evaluate a simple formula
string formula = "SUM(A1, A2, 30) / 2";
var result = parser.Evaluate(formula, getCellValue);

Console.WriteLine(result);  // Outputs: 30

Adding Custom Functions

parser.AddLookupFunction("CUSTOMFUNC", args =>
{
    // Implement your custom function logic here
    return args.Sum(x => Convert.ToDouble(x)) * 2;
});

// Using the custom function in a formula
string customFormula = "CUSTOMFUNC(A1, A2)";
var customResult = parser.Evaluate(customFormula, getCellValue);
Console.WriteLine(customResult);  // Output will depend on the custom function logic
