    Setting Calculation Culture
    In This Topic

    In Spread ASP.NET, the calculation culture for the FpSpread instance can be set by using CalculationCulture property. It displays the calculation results in the specified culture, which can differ from the main culture value, set by using Thread.CurrentCulture.

    The following example shows how to set the thread culture and calculation culture to different values.

    C#
    Copy Code
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("nl-NL");// Dutch
        FpSpread1.CalculationCulture = new CultureInfo("de-DE");// German
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            DateTime dateValue = DateTime.Now.Date;
            FpSpread1.Sheets[0].Columns[0].Width = 200;
            FpSpread1.Sheets[0].Columns[1].Width = 250;
            FpSpread1.Sheets[0].ColumnHeader.Cells[0, 0].Text = "Dates";
            FpSpread1.Sheets[0].ColumnHeader.Cells[0, 1].Text = "Days Of Week in German";
            // This formula evaluates in Dutch but displays Day for a specific date in German culture 
            //because CalculationCulture is set to German
    
            FpSpread1.Cells[0, 1].Formula = "TEXT(DATEVALUE(\"" + dateValue + " \"),\"dddd\")";
            FpSpread1.Cells[1, 1].Formula = "TEXT(DATEVALUE(\"" + dateValue.AddDays(1) + " \"),\"dddd\")";
            FpSpread1.Cells[2, 1].Formula = "TEXT(DATEVALUE(\"" + dateValue.AddDays(2) + " \"),\"dddd\")";
            FpSpread1.Cells[3, 1].Formula = "TEXT(DATEVALUE(\"" + dateValue.AddDays(3) + " \"),\"dddd\")";
            FpSpread1.Cells[4, 1].Formula = "TEXT(DATEVALUE(\"" + dateValue.AddDays(4) + " \"),\"dddd\")";
            FpSpread1.Cells[5, 1].Formula = "TEXT(DATEVALUE(\"" + dateValue.AddDays(5) + " \"),\"dddd\")";
            FpSpread1.Cells[6, 1].Formula = "TEXT(DATEVALUE(\"" + dateValue.AddDays(6) + " \"),\"dddd\")";
            FpSpread1.Cells[0, 0].Value = dateValue.ToShortDateString();
            FpSpread1.Cells[1, 0].Value = dateValue.AddDays(1).ToShortDateString();
            FpSpread1.Cells[2, 0].Value = dateValue.AddDays(2).ToShortDateString();
            FpSpread1.Cells[3, 0].Value = dateValue.AddDays(3).ToShortDateString();
            FpSpread1.Cells[4, 0].Value = dateValue.AddDays(4).ToShortDateString();
            FpSpread1.Cells[5, 0].Value = dateValue.AddDays(5).ToShortDateString();
            FpSpread1.Cells[6, 0].Value = dateValue.AddDays(6).ToShortDateString();
    
        }
    }
