Djeeni Names

In Djeeni you work with worksheets, ranges, cells, lists of worksheets from workbooks, lists of rows on worksheets. Just like Excel, Djeeni allows you to name all of them. Actually, naming your worksheets, lists and if sections is compulsory as names make your process much more logical and readable. It is much easier to say and read:

  • copy the Summary section of the ERP Report worksheet to the Bottom line section of the Consolidation worksheet; than
  • copy range D234:D245 on \\server\finance\analysis\erp_exports\report202001.xlsx workbook Sheet1 worksheet to range starting from B25 on \\server\finance\consolidations\year2020\consolidation202001.xlsx workbook ERP data worksheet

Please note that in Djeeni you work always with worksheets. Every worksheet has a physical location in a workbook that can be found in some folder of the computer or network. Once this location is specified in the WSheet Use process step you can simply refer to this worksheet throughout your process by its Djeeni name. Using WSheet Use has one more advantage. If the location of the workbook or the Excel name of the worksheet is changed you only have to change WSheet Use to refer to the new location and/or worksheet name and your process is running again.

Rules, best practice

Djeeni names can contain only letters (a-z, A-z), numbers (0-9), underscore (_), dash (-) and question mark (? - Useful for naming if sections). No space or other characters are allowed. To improve the readability of the process it is recommended to start all Djeeni names with 2 characters identifying the element named:
