Formula Language Server

VisiGrid treats formulas like code, providing IDE-like assistance as you type.

When you type = and start typing a function name, suggestions appear automatically. Use:

  • Arrow Up/Down to navigate suggestions
  • Tab or Enter to accept
  • Escape to dismiss

When you type ( after a function name, a tooltip appears showing:

  • The function signature with all parameters
  • The current parameter highlighted
  • Updates as you type commas between arguments

VisiGrid checks your formulas in real-time:

  • Syntax errors appear as red messages below the formula bar
  • Validates parenthesis matching, operators, and function syntax
  • Shows specific error messages before you even press Enter

Press F1 while editing a formula to see detailed help for the function at cursor position:

  • Function name and syntax
  • Full description
  • Category

Press Escape to dismiss the help popup.
