In general, you can digitize the values of each cell by using the type function in Excel, 2 by text, 4 by logic, 16 by error, 64 by array, but can’t you use the type function in the handsontable formula?
here https://we.tl/t-8sIqKulrjY I have gathered the list of formulas compared with the old engine and HyperFormula, none of the engines supported TYPE formula.
The code sandbox link you posted on the top is a sample that produces custom hyperformula, and the link below is a sample that uses hyperformula in handsontable, right?
I have asked our CTO for installation tips, and he said that you should always additionally install HyperFormula as the package management tool optimizes the installation himself. So yes, please do install Hyperformula and Handsontable.
However, I would also want to remind you that the use of the HyperFormula outside the implementation of Handsontable requires an additional license so your custom function can be used only within the Handsontable.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask.
