gs4_formula: Class for Google Sheets formulas

Description

In order to write a formula into Google Sheets, you need to store it as an object of class googlesheets4_formula. This is how we distinguish a "regular" character string from a string that should be interpreted as a formula. googlesheets4_formula is an S3 class implemented using the vctrs package.

Usage

gs4_formula(x = character())

Arguments

x

Character.

Value

An S3 vector of class googlesheets4_formula.
