REFERENCE

U.AFTER

Summary

Returns TRUE if calculated after calculation of a specified reference range

Syntax

=U.AFTER(method_ref, [within_seconds])

Parameters

Parameter Required Description
method_ref Yes A reference to a cell or range containing an U.DO, U.PASTE and/or another U.AFTER method. At a minimum the top-left corner of the range must be selected
[within_seconds] No The number of seconds within the last recalc of method_ref that TRUE will be returned. Default is 10 seconds if not set. If set to TRUE then TRUE is returned if method_ref has recalculated at least once

Behavior

The documented public interface is supported by the current U Add-in source signature and the maintained Usage Examples workbook. Optional parameters are shown in square brackets in the syntax above; omit the brackets when entering a formula.

Return Value

Returns the function result or action status described by the formula and parameters above. The maintained sources do not define a narrower, stable return contract for this function.

Examples

=IF(U.AFTER(PUB_AND_PASTE),U.PASTE(C141,G139,2,,,TRUE),"Do Not Paste")

=U.AFTER(B29)

=IF(B34,IF(U.AFTER(B37),U.SOUND("how"),B37))

Notes

  • Formula examples are preserved from maintained workbook usage and normalized to the current U. prefix.
  • Complete formulas demonstrate working patterns; they do not imply that undocumented option values are supported.
  • Where maintained sources do not specify every accepted value, default, or error message, this page does not infer one.
  • For functions that perform actions, use a visible trigger or supported block/throttle parameter to avoid unintended repetition during recalculation.
