Update matrix result in active cell vs. original (formula) cell #7

Actually the result matrix is created in the active sheet starting at active cell.
Usually it should be created starting the original cell containing the function call.

Example:

  • function fn(string s, int start, int end) gives back a column vector of numbers
  • We have two cases:
    s="M" --> result is the vector [start, start+1, start+2, ..., end]
    s="F" --> result is the vector [start+10, start+11, start+12, ..., end+10]

Assume we write the formula in cell A5 and we use cell A1 as reference for the first parameter s.

So:

  • A1 contains M
  • in A5 we write the formula: =fn(A1;1;100)
    That produces the vector [1,2,3,...,100] in cells A5,A6,A7,...,A105

Now we change the parameter in cell A1 from M to F.
That produces the vector [11,12,13,...,110] in cells A2,A3,A4,...,A102
So the second function call overwrites the function in cell A5.

(My) expectation:
result is updated in the original area, in the example in cells A5,A6,...

I think, the problem is using the active cell instead of the cell containing the function call which is actually performed.

public object display()
        {
            Excel.Application app = (Excel.Application)ExcelDnaUtil.Application;
            Excel.Worksheet worksheet = (Excel.Worksheet)app.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet;
            Excel.Range startCell = app.ActiveCell;

            var propKey = "" + startCell.Row + PROPERTY_DIVIDER + startCell.Column;

Hope my explanation is clear enough.
