Struct ReptFn 

pub struct ReptFn;

REPT(text, number_times) - Repeats text a given number of times

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for ReptFn

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Function for ReptFn

Repeats a text string a specified number of times.

Remarks

• Repeat count is truncated to an integer.
• Negative counts return #VALUE!.
• Output longer than 32,767 characters returns #VALUE!.
• Non-text first argument is coerced to text.

Examples

title: "Repeat text three times"
formula: '=REPT("ab", 3)'
expected: "ababab"

title: "Negative count"
formula: '=REPT("x", -1)'
expected: "#VALUE!"

  - q: "Can REPT return very long strings?"
    a: "Only up to 32,767 characters; longer results return #VALUE! like Excel."

fn caps(&self) -> FnCaps

Capability flags for this function

fn name(&self) -> &'static str

fn min_args(&self) -> usize

fn arg_schema(&self) -> &'static [ArgSchema]

fn eval<'a, 'b, 'c>( &self, args: &'c [ArgumentHandle<'a, 'b>], _: &dyn FunctionContext<'b>, ) -> Result<CalcValue<'b>, ExcelError>

The unified evaluation path.

fn namespace(&self) -> &'static str

fn variadic(&self) -> bool

fn volatile(&self) -> bool

fn aliases(&self) -> &'static [&'static str]

Optional list of additional alias names (case-insensitive) that should resolve to this function. Default: empty slice. Implementors can override to expose legacy names. Returned slice must have ’static lifetime (typically a static array reference).

fn function_salt(&self) -> u64

fn eval_reference<'a, 'b, 'c>( &self, _args: &'c [ArgumentHandle<'a, 'b>], _ctx: &dyn FunctionContext<'b>, ) -> Option<Result<ReferenceType, ExcelError>>

Optional reference result path. Only called by the interpreter/engine when the callsite expects a reference (e.g., range combinators, by-ref argument positions, or spill sources).

fn dispatch<'a, 'b, 'c>( &self, args: &'c [ArgumentHandle<'a, 'b>], ctx: &dyn FunctionContext<'b>, ) -> Result<CalcValue<'b>, ExcelError>

Dispatch to the unified evaluation path with automatic argument validation.
