Step 4: Run VBS code that adds cell validation to Excel sheet
Execute the following VBS code that exports an Excel file with two types of data validation defined: list and whole number.
'===================================================================
' Tutorial 13
'
' This tutorial shows how to create an Excel file in VBScript having
' multiple sheets. The second sheet contains a named range.
' The A1:A10 cell range contains data validators, drop down list
' and whole number validation.
'===================================================================' Constants declarationDim VALIDATE_LIST, VALIDATE_WHOLE_NUMBER, OPERATOR_BETWEEN, OPERATOR_EQUAL_TO
VALIDATE_LIST = 3
VALIDATE_WHOLE_NUMBER = 1
OPERATOR_BETWEEN = 0
OPERATOR_EQUAL_TO = 2
WScript.StdOut.WriteLine("Tutorial 13" & vbcrlf & "----------" & vbcrlf)
' Create an instance of the class that exports Excel filesSet workbook = CreateObject("EasyXLS.ExcelDocument")
' Create two sheets
workbook.easy_addWorksheet_2("First tab")

' Get the table of data for the second worksheet and populate the worksheetSet xlsSecondTab = workbook.easy_getSheetAt(1)
Set xlsSecondTable = xlsSecondTab.easy_getExcelTable()

How to run VBScript tutorial In order to run the tutorial create a file named Tutorial13.vbs containing previous code, open Command Prompt, change the directory to tutorial location using cd command and type: > cscript Tutorial13.vbs.
Overloaded methods For methods with same name but different parameters, only the first method overload retains the original name. Subsequent overloads are uniquely renamed by appending to the method name '_2', '_3', etc (method, method_2, method_3), an integer that corresponds to the order of declaration that can be found in EasyXLS.h, a file that comes with EasyXLS installation.
