Tags: #<Tag:0x00007efc6171f570> #<Tag:0x00007efc6171f408>

Hello everybody,
I am using handsontable Formula and I got a problem in all of my handsontable grid. My problem is Formula does not work when I use mergedCell.

https://jsfiddle.net/newbiecse/zru0co4t/16/

Please take a look on the script line number 396 - I set mergeCells array there so my formula on the “column 6” does not work. But if I remove mergeCells - set the array is empty my formula work.

My question is “How to make formula work with mergedCell?”.
Thank you so much!

Hey @newbiecse

this issue has been raised some time ago https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/5459 but hasn’t been scheduled yet as we are working on a new formula engine where issues like this shouldn’t be no longer a problem/

Hello @aleksandra_budnik,
Thank for your answer.
So when can we use the new formula engine?
Thanks

The project started a few months ago but as that is an externally funded creation the process takes longer and cannot be announced while not finished (like it is with Github).
Before the end of the year, we should be able to make it public
