If I understand it correctly, you have VFP dbf table where one of the fields contains expression that if exported to Excel, it is recognized like a formula that can be or should be implemented.

What I do not understand is:
- If, say, there are several recors in Excel sheet, do you need to click on each cell in the column that cointains formulas?
- what "execute automatically" means? Does it mean that if you open Excel, formula(s) should work on file opening and without user intervention? Or it means that when exporting to excel, Excel function should work first creating/modifying data and then Excel file should contain only the result ?
