Parameters

Parameter Required Description

value Yes The new value to be applied to the range registered using U.SET_CLICKVALS
[block] No If set to TRUE then method will not be calculated unless triggered by user interaction or calculated as a step in a script; If set to a number then will be throttled to not calculate more frequently than the specified number of seconds; make number negative to prevent auto recalc of blocked methods; a default value that will be applied once can be provided in a 2nd column

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

Examples

=U.OVERWRITE_CLICKVAL(B208,B211)

=U.OVERWRITE_CLICKVAL(B195,B217)

=IF(C33,U.OVERWRITE_CLICKVAL("DateClicked",C34),"")

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.
