Formula
A parser and evaluator of spreadsheet-like formulas
Formula is in its early stages, so it's better to be used cautiously.
So far we have the following features:
- 18 date time functions
- 26 text functions
- 26 math functions
- 7 logical functions
- 2 web functions
- plus all arithmetic and comparison operators
Installation and usage
Add this library to your project with cargo add formula
or add formula = "*"
to your Cargo.toml
file.
Use it similar to the following code:
use formula::{Formula, Expr, Result};
fn main() -> Result<()> {
let formula = Formula::new("=UPPER(TRIM(' Hello '))")?;
let value = formula.parse()?;
assert_eq!(value, Expr::String("HELLO".to_string()));
Ok(())
}
What we do not support, yet:
- Support of functions are so limited at the moment, but we would like to add more of them, like Excel functions, Google Sheets functions, and so on
- At the moment, we don't support table data, so you need to pass values to the formula as arguments by yourself
- We do not support simple formulas like
1+1
or as argument likeAND(1>3, 1<3)
orSUM(2-1, 2)
. Instead, you can use ourF.
functions likeAND(F.GT(1, 3), F.LT(1, 3))
orSUM(F.SUB(2, 1), 2)
- We still do not support parentheses to change the order of operations, but you can use our
F.
functions. So for example instead of2*(1+1)
, you should useF.MUL(2, F.ADD(1, 1))
