VB.Net - retrieve actual formula string

[Grant]

Hi,

I am using VB.Net (Interop) to reference an Excel Workbook, and want to
retrieve the actual formula string rathar than the result of the formula.

So if the formula in Excel was =SUM(B5:B8) then the string I would want to
return would be "=SUM(B5:B8)"

I have tried almost every property but still can only seem to get the value.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Grant.

From the imediate Window (from an at-random file I have open)

? Activecell.Formula
=IF(ISBLANK(H7),0,IF(H7<=TODAY(),D7,0)) << Produces in text form
