Automating Tasks

What are the Automating tasks?

Using automating tasks you can create simple spreadsheet applications (macros) to automate your tasks.

Your first task:

Tap Task > Workbook Task to open Workbook Task dialog. Tap New... button to open Define Task dialog. Name your first task Hello (write this name instead of "Task Name" to the edit line at the top of this dialog). Tap on button fn() and select function MsgBox from the list. Now write the text "Hello World" between the parenthesis:

MsgBox("Hello World")

Tap OK to close Define Task dialog. Select Run on "Menu Item" and tap Close button. 
Now tap Task > Hello to run your first task. Message box "Hello World" will be displayed.

Workbook Automating Tasks

Use Workbook Task menu item (Task > Workbook Task) to define, modify and run your automating tasks. Run on - select an event to start task:

Global - check this check box if you want to use this task in any workbook. Normal tasks are stored in workbook file. Global tasks are stored in Windows registry.

Cell Automating Tasks

Use Cell Task menu item (Task > Cell Task) to define or modify automating tasks stored in a cell. PTab uses cell tasks to insert pictures, sounds or hyperlinks into cells (see Insert in Cell > Picture... / Sound... / Hyperlink...) or to save charts (see Chart / Options). You can use cell tasks for short "macros" that you can execute by tapping on a cell or cell icon. 

 

Variables

In tasks you can use variables. 

Example:

ok = YesNoBox("Finish task?")
if ok then
  Return()
end

There are no global variables. Use workbook to store global data.

 

How to set and get cell values

Use Set(reference, value) function to set a cell value.

Example:

Set(A1,1000)

If you need to create a cell reference using row and column numbers (column A has number 1) use function CellRef(col, row [, sheetIndex]). Parameter sheetIndex is optional.

Example:

i = 1
while i < 100
  Set(CellRef(1,i), i)
  i = i+1
end 

 

If command

if condition1 then
  commands
elsif condition2 then
  commands
else
  commands
end

Examples:

if a1<>0 then Set(c1, b1/a1) end

if a1=0 then
  Set(c1, "Sorry...")
else
  Set(c1, b1/a1)
end

 

While command

while condition
  commands
end

Executes commands as long as a condition is True.

Example:

while a1>0
  Set(CellRef(2, a1), a1*100)
  Set(a1, a1-1)
end

 

You can structure your code into more simple tasks and then you can call previously defined task from within a task using its name. Example:

Set(a1,100)
while a1>0
  Hello
  Set(a1, a1-1)
end
