Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`ARRAY` An Array formula ("{=SUM(A1:E1*{1,2,3,4,5}}") https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Guidelines-and-examples-of-array-formulas-7D94A64E-3FF3-4686-9372-ECFD5CAA57C7
`CELL` Regular cell formula
`CONDFORMAT` Conditional formatting
`DATAVALIDATION_LIST` This constant is currently very specific.
`NAMEDRANGE` Named range
`SHARED` A Shared Formula ("{=SUM(A1:E1*{1,2,3,4,5}}") Similar to an array formula, but stored in a SHAREDFMLA instead of ARRAY record as a file size optimization.

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description

`static FormulaType`	`valueOf(java.lang.String name)` Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
`static FormulaType[]`	`values()` Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

    This constant is currently very specific. The exact differences from general data validation formulas or conditional format formulas is not known yet
- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static FormulaType[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (FormulaType c : FormulaType.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static FormulaType valueOf(java.lang.String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - forInt
```
public static FormulaType forInt(int code)
```
    Deprecated. POI 3.15 beta 3. Used to transition code from ints to FormulaTypes.
    
    Since:
    
    POI 3.15 beta 3.
